Several years ago I switched to decaf to help with my anxiety. It did help but I also crashed almost every afternoon so I went back. Unfortunately, the coffee started giving me nasty acid reflux so I switched to drinking Earl Grey tea eve

I have a daily call with my CEO and I'm counting down until he mentions Googles demo and asks why we're not using their AI technology. Then it will take an exorbitant amount of energy on my part to get him to understand how that

I've seen this on multiple Chrome-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Chrome) and it happens so much I've switch from Brave to Safari as my regular browser.

"Use what you know" is, in my opinion, the best answer. If you're starting a startup, why would you hinder yourself with the struggle of learning new a new stack (and, worse, a new language!) with all the other things you ha

How much worse does it have to get before someone holds Microsoft accountable for being criminally negligent? They have a 20+ year history of virtually non-existent concern for security.

I discovered this during the height of COVID. It was oddly calming to me.

I felt from the start that a $4.99 price point right out of the gate from Apple was going to get increased sooner rather than later. Honestly, I'm surprised it has taken them this long and will probably be going even higher.

Windows 10 takes 30 minutes to update. What could it possibly be doing for that long? We have a contractor who built a system on Azure that I'm about to take over. I was complaining about how slow RDP'ing into the Azure machine

I'm not a car guy by any means. I'm seriously considering replacing my car with an electric bike just because I'm so cheap and cars are generally a pain in the ass to own. I'm also sensitive to loud noises and I hate it

I can't speak to the EV's coming from other ICE manufacturers but, my wife bought a Mach-E a couple of months ago it's an amazing vehicle. It's one of the smoothest rides of any car I've ever driven and doesn'

I used to work with a guy who prided himself on his work ethic and productivity. He would pound away at the code daily yet, he was probably one of the worst programmers I've ever known. He was so interested in being productive (which

Microsoft tries to shove (broken, usually) features down the throats of their customers more than any other company I've ever experienced. Why do people keep giving them money?!

I would, hands down, go with Flutter. The developer experience is better than any other project. It's clear there is an attention to detail in the core team that is rare. The resulting product is, while not always 100% perfect, head

Seems trite but, my honest answer is that Github is owned by Microsoft. I saw the same thing happen to LinkedIn after that acquisition.

In a fit of rage after seeing the prices of replacement ink (at Costco, no less) for my Canon printer I grabbed an Epson EcoTank and plunked down over $300 for it. That was almost three years ago and I'm still on the ink that came in

Honestly, I was never a fan of Basic but I still don't understand why there isn't a GUI app builder as productive as the VB6-era tools were for any language.

You bring up a good point, which is that I remember most the GUI builder. Basic isn't really that great a language, all things considered. But being able to quickly design and deploy GUI apps with VB was better than anything I'v

I wonder about HyperCard as well. I never used it but, from everything I've ever heard about it, it was also an amazing developer experience.

I honestly haven't used it because I thought they had retired it altogether. The last time I did use it was about 20 years ago and found that they had changed it enough that I wasn't nearly as productive with it as, say, VB6.
