A friend of mine who has done mostly professional web development is starting his journey in iOS development with SwiftUI. He's done great work of finding answers to specific questions he's had on the process but I wanted to give

I don’t think it’s bad advice but having shipped multiple (really bad) games, I think it misses the two biggest/best pieces of advice I’ve gotten: 1. GDDs are probably a distraction if you’re a solo dev - prototyping and grayboxing a

I haven't gotten too far with my test 13" MBA. I booted it up and installed Xcode -- it took about 2 hours to install, which I don't understand. Now that it's installed I can't build my project without recompiling s

Out of curiosity - how do you normally interview? Is the risk that much greater when interviewing someone who already works for a direct competitor as opposed to someone who could go start at your direct competitor tomorrow?

If you want to be a solo/technical founder, I'd consider learning to build web apps a great first step - it's accessible, cross-platform, and flexible. There's also no shortage of resources online. On the frontend, React

This is a great idea, well done! Have you considered adding a background task to automatically push the data to e.g Dropbox once/day? I would love to have my data in a usable location without exporting it manually each time Unrelated:

Interesting article, IMO the single biggest "blind spot" gmail has that makes Hey look very attractive is the idea that users should be in control of the experience. Privacy is great, I think Hey's specific innovation goes

Hey this is a really great idea and well executed. Did you use a template for the website or built from scratch?

I have a lot of things I want to do. I also suffer from 'decision paralysis' -- rather than starting any one thing from my list, I avoid them all at once. During one of these "avoidance sessions" I stumbled on a reddit t

Agreed, this feature set looks like an incredible amount of work for a year. Interestingly it seems it started as a shooter game more than an engine — explains why the feature set is tailored towards that.

Definitely agree caution is a good stance to take -- as much as we need to be supportive of victims we also need to be smart about doing our research. With that said, given Uber's recent history (Fowler) and without any action from Ube

Would love to see more details on what actually goes down on the nitty gritty level -- it sounds like the business hemorrhaged money for quite some time and given that you didn't have investment it'd be great to know how you got f

Complete misrepresentation of homeschooling based on one person's anecdotal experience. "A single powerful person who is convinced of their own Rightness with no thought of introspection is dangerous." Indeed. Perhaps we&#x27

I wish there was more detail about the pain-point-finding process. As is, simply looking for examples of current pain points is very prone to cognitive bias -- if you go looking for a pain point, you'll find one, but how do you quantif

100% agree. I like having a smartphone with me because it allows me to do things I couldn't reasonably otherwise do -- but it can also be used as a crutch for things you don't really need a smartphone for. I've started lookin

Was it the boolean check that degraded performance or was branch misprediction inside a nested loop the root cause? The solution you came to seems quite elegant but I'd be curious to see metrics with the debug_on check moved outside bo

Yeh, as an American driver I don't know how people open their doors in the city WITHOUT looking first. In rural areas where bikers ride on the sidewalk and are not super common, sure, but I can't remember a time driving in a city

In addition to film being entertainment, it's one of the most effective mediums for communication we have right now. Case in point: way more folks are aware of the Narcos subject matter than previously. Now whether or not we can transi

If you're happy to allow fellow humans to continue along a poor path, sure. I believe in establishing feedback loops and giving people opportunities to grow. Tongue-in-cheek aside, of course passive-aggressive isn't the ideal path

My response to such questions is usually along the lines 'Sorry, didn't realize I was interviewing for my ability to perform 5-second google searches.' If 'getting the job' in that instance is the metric of success,

Do you generally work 'normal' (9-5) hours? Do you have help on the farm or are you the primary caretaker? I'd not have thought of farming as low-time-commitment enough to be a hobby.

Absolutely. Writing bad code is a great way to put yourself on the path to writing better code -- as long as you have the 'always refactor' mindset.

Indeed - it's shocking how many adherents to these imaginarily-discrete spheres even see room for the separation of philosophy and science. Philosophy requires science to evolve, and science requires philosophy to provide context.
