Some problems are hard, common and already solved. Sometimes solving these problems yourself adds no unique value to your product. In that case, you should just use a well-reviewed external ecosystem package. A large project will run into m

This is why Microsoft's strategy is so interesting. They're capturing the value of IDEs and GitHub (a company that struggled to monetize while solo) by soft-bundling them together with Azure, which is extremely easy to monetize. I

I want to love Joplin (open source! markdown!) but I just can't get past how ugly it is. Its iPhone app is just a horrendous mishmash of colors and non-native UI elements.

I am biased from working so much with SPA frameworks like Angular and React, at this point I've given up. So many frontend processes these days involve some kind of build process to minify or transpile that I figure... why not always u

This is a nice thought that does not grapple with the reality of modern-day politics. The Republican Party is hellbent on holding onto power by any means necessary. They will oppose any structural reforms that could reduce their power. Woul

Exactly. Bloomberg employs many fine reporters and writers, and often does good work. I like Mark Gurman, who often has accurate scoops of unannounced Apple products. However, Bloomberg should be read knowing they are owned by a company and

This is an unpopular take, but for certain kinds of programs, I actually prefer subscription software. All software is a sandcastle build on top of a thousand other sandcastles. It takes active maintenance, especially if it's a profess

They don't want the legacy UI and code of macOS, they want iPadOS to be good enough that you don't need a Mac. Hence why the last couple years of iPadOS have been covering more and more use cases. As a frontend web developer, I

Length is such a problem. Growing up, I knew a girl whose last name was DiMichaelangelo. It couldn’t even fit on a Scantron for tests.

Crisis is the time when people are most willing to accept changes, and Microsoft was indeed in crisis. Still is in some ways, but their turnaround has been impressive.

As a movie nerd I was interested by the bit about the broadcast being in 120hz. This is... unusual for most visual content. Where video games strictly benefit from a higher framerate, adding more frames does weird things to movies and telev
