Look, I agree with a good part of this article. I also agree that the whole "unregulated internet" is terrible for humankind in general. Crypto is a scam. Meta should be, plain and simple, shut down. Twitter is a madhouse. The lis

I understand that your advice comes from the right place. However "High-agency" is the "Full-stack Engineer" of the AI era. A single salary covering many disparage positions and roles. It's been reworded b/c wi

Not naive at all. I'm pretty well aware of the monetary incentives and that they're focusing on their own use case. But the improvement has been so great (and so downhill in Windows camp) that now Proton is the performance bench

And I forgot to mention in-game currency. I didn't say Valve is perfect. But they're definitely worth the money I spend there. Great service, proper support, regional pricing, and the list goes on. Everything works today. The work

It's the other way around. Valve is the company where we spend a lot of money and they deserve it. The rest is companies that trick people into giving them money (battlepass! lootboxes!) and they don't deserve it. People often for

Antirez is 100% the creator of Redis. And not only that, it's the kind of mind that you probably only get "a handful each generation".

Hatred for a corporation is as useful as hatred for a nuclear bomb. No matter how harmful or destructive, it lacks any sort of free will that would make it a reasonable target for such hate. There's actual people making it happen , th

To everyone who bought the "developer-friendly" Microsoft of VSCode fame from a few years ago: this is what they forever did, and forever will do. This company has been pulling these tricks since the early 90s. If you fell for thi
