You must not have tried the voice feature in the ChatGPT app yet. Try it out, it’s amazing. It pairs the power and functionality of a conversational voice assistant with all the power of ChatGPT and LLMs. Obviously the integration isn’t as

I tried it for the first time last night and I was not too impressed. It felt like a solution in search of a problem. For the past decade Apple’s product lineup has pretty much remained the same (faster, lighter, etc), while they invested h

Great post. I love the idea of the product and have wondered why AWS doesn’t offer this level of convenience out of the box. Half-joking name suggestion: I recognize the domain probably isn’t available but wouldn’t “upordown.com” be slightl

Back in 2014 I was tired of how awful the Mint app was and I wanted to make a banking app of my own (that I affectionately called Basil). The premise was that it would be like Mailbox (remember that flash in the pan email app?) but for fina

My first smartphone. I started working at Tmobile in college as a sales rep when the G1 came out and I immediately was smitten with it. The functionality and experience was so much better than anything that BlackBerry had to offer, yet all

For example my daughter has a friend who asks for all of her good stuff at lunch everyday…she has a hard time telling her no, even though she doesn’t want to give away all of her food.

We’re guess people through and through. It’s really hard for my kids to say no to awkward things that their “friends” ask of them who are askers. How do you say no to askers in a way that they will know they can’t come to you with dumb asks

I worked at the biggest retailer in the world and we used them a ton. They got even more useful once we built the concept of a versioned flag that would allow us to be true or false, depending on the app version we were on. That kind of fle

I loved the build up in this article, but the solution left me wanting more. My org suffers from the disease of Date Driven Development, but just telling my boss to let us work until it is done simply means we will never ship because it wil

I really enjoyed this read. I’ve been grinding for so long in the huge corporation version of agile that I don’t even know what is what anymore. It was refreshing to hear their take on project managers, as it matches how I’ve been feeling r

So if the acquisition of IG and Whats App were wrong, why did they get regulatory approval at the time?

OP here: it looks like I can’t edit the post to add more details that many have called out as missing. I’m 34 years old, and have been doing software since college. I have a large family that is quite young. Six kids under the age of 15. My

$1m is not enough to retire on by itself. I have a large family and our expenses are around $100k/yr. I want to stretch the $1m as long and as far as I possibly can. Looking for tips/suggestions on how I might do that.

Thanks for your comment. I’m currently at a huge company making (in my opinion) a really great salary. The golden handcuffs are cushy, and the only real draw to this new company is it’s a title bump (director) that would give me a chance to

Assume we move over to electric vehicles (like Tesla) as the default mode of transportation at some point in the future, will that solve this problem? In other words, is our ability to generate electricity for all the electric vehicles more

The thing that surprises me is how stationary everything in space seems to be, in order for this to have been possible. But everything is moving, right? So how could a series of pictures over this long of a time work out to be so clear?

I made this same decision a few years ago and can attest that this is true. The side projects I was working on were pretty small potatoes, so that needs to be pointed out. But overall a higher focus on my job has led to two promotions and a

My experience with S3 buckets was that it was super painful and annoying to make the images publicly visible. So these people had to go out of their way to make this publicly accessible.

Just like parenting, police should never resort to violence. Why? It’s a short-term fix that causes way more problems down the road. So what kind of parents/police beat their constituents? Men who are angry and want to assert themselve

I’ve always looked at the Jet deal as $3b to get their CEO Marc Lore to get in there and fix their e-commerce operations. If you look at the online sales performance since Lore joined, as well as the stock price (it has more than doubled),

Burn it all to the ground. This model that saddles unknowing students with debt, while locking in old and crusty professors to their cushy jobs for life, is antiquated and needs to go.

I was lucky enough to get a great remote job that was happy to pay me as if I lived and worked in SF, but let me live anywhere I wanted to in the country. Remote devs that have this arrangement definitely take home more money than their pee

It’s amazing to me that Apple’s refusal to support remote work has caused them to be caught flat-footed here. I doubt they considered the need to be remote friendly as a contingency plan in case of a disaster, but here we are. Hopefully mor
