The high price tag is interesting from a strategy perspective. It feels like they wanted to start super high to really test the market and give themselves an out if it doesn't succeed for a long time. Each year that they keep the price

For me, it's hard to make direct comparisons with the world of then. Today, everybody has so many devices and are so used to tech all around them every waking moment. An AR headset doesn't feel like a huge leap in additional day-t

I'm in the camp that sees the whole thing as a novelty. I didn't see any use cases that made me go "Ooh, I need this in my life." I already have multiple screens around me. If I'm watching TV and want to look someth

It's super interesting to see Apple's strategy played out here. It feels like so many of their announcements today are part of a strategy to essentially become "the OS for your life". Apple's nudging people into usi

I thought that was funny as well. I suppose this is where the new "poster" feature comes in? They'll just see pre-recorded looped video of you?

It's confusing that the page's presentation makes it feel like an actual product. The branding of "Style Drop" and the copy makes it feel like something "you" the reader can use right now... and then you can&#x

I also used to work on a lot of side projects, but never shipped any of them. Eventually I decided that shipping was important to me, so I started changing my mindset a bit. What helped me the most was recognizing that 1) it didn't hav

I recently released Card Buddy [1], a Mac app to help you organize ideas on small index cards on a canvas. You can pick from different canvas styles which can auto-arrange your cards to make it easier to reorder them for a narrative, or pic

I think so, but even things like focusing too much on a perfect design or well-tested system can bog you down on a side project if you actually want to finish it. I know for me I used to spend way too much time trying to organize my code an

I agree. One of the best interviews I ever had was for an iOS position at a company. The interviewer himself had a little bit of experience with iOS development and he lent me his laptop and asked me to write a simple app. It was great beca

It's probably the easing function and the fact that cards sort of snap to their final positions and hang out there briefly before moving again, such as in the shuffle animation. It gives them a feeling of friction you wouldn't get

Really cool stuff. I like how "heavy" the cards feel during the animation. I've been working on something similar, but for arbitrary index card notes and played around with some very basic animations. You can see a quick vide

Did you ever try plying them without the glasses? Now that’s a headache! I had a Master System as a kid and was disappointed when I purchased Maze Hunter 3D and brought it home only to find I could not play it without the glasses. No wonder

I read through the article as well and was put off mostly by how it was presented that the students are black females: > They are female, they are African-American, and they come from an area which is not particularly renowned for produc

Is this part of a trend? Companies are realizing it's cheaper and more effective to just announce things online. WWDC 2023 is once again streaming only. I imagine that is much easier for them to put on as you can just record and edit t

This is good advice. Similarly, if you're reading a book for the information, and you find it's way too wordy, there's no shame in just skimming it. I used to feel like it was my duty to read every word written by an author i

I'm biased since I grew up with mm/dd/yy format, but I do find month first more useful simply because the 30-day period something takes place in gives me more context immediately about an event, at least when talking about sc

Apparently the autobiography the movie is based on came out in 1980, so it's totally possible they were referencing Abagnale.

At least the yearly perf review at Microsoft is going to get easier since you just toss all your notes about what you did for the year to Copilot and have it write your summary. Your manager can do the same thing for their notes about you a

I'd say the higher you move up in management, the more and more your own goals should represent the business's goals. A lot of ICs don't really care about the business, however, and I think this is where promotions are used a

I write on both sides. I used to not for fear of ink bleed, or seeing the other side. Ink doesn't really bleed through and what I can see on the other side is faint, so it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I use Leu

Ah, you got me there. My apologies. You're right. I had forgotten that it was "program" and not "product". (I haven't worked there in a few years and probably mixed it up with product manager titles at a differ

I worked there for 13 years and worked with a lot of people with the title of Product Manager, or "PM" to be specific. And no, we didn't call them "project managers".

I worked in a "startup-like" team at a big company a few years ago. It was fun in that we moved quickly since we had fewer processes than typical teams at Big Co. Over time though, I realized we were just making stuff to make some

This is one of those things that make me feel old (45 here). Articles like these would be the kind I’d either read or write in my 20s. There’s a sense of self importance that you have at that age and everything feels important and new to yo

A lot of negative comments here, but these are useful rules of thumb when designing UI, especially if you don't have a design background. They're not perfect, sure, but it's a good starting point. A lot of these tips I'v

I mean, it's fair to be selfish and to recognize that people are allowed to be selfish. It's a big expectation that discriminated peoples should devote their life to changing the system that was unfair to them. We're all huma

I've never heard this idea before either. I was at Microsoft when they did layoffs in 2008 (either that or 2009). I remember it was communicated that it was the job itself that was being removed, for business reasons, and they weren&#x
