   I look forward to when variable fonts work well on all systems. (I really like rsms.me/inter) Meantime, rocking the system font. https://tachyons.io/docs/typography/font-family/system-sans-... https:&#x

   Thanks, Rabid. I know I'm not being clear. The goal is to present a magic software interface . I want to say, "forget about apps. What do you want to do? How can I help you?" ...and be an interface to the people who can make

   I'm a software developer with a weird background: autodidactic since early childhood; always working obsessively on a personal project; freelancing since about 2005 as a last-ditch solution to financial distress. For the past several y

    I've been using a Pixelbook for the past year or so. I do like the look and feel of the hardware: nice screen, decent keyboard and touch pad, and a thin metal body which feels really solid. The silicone palm rests start to yellow a bit

    I'm not ready to show it yet (#FML), but my interface renders everything in threads , including graphical controls, which yield messages. Nothing happens outside the context of a thread. So it leaves a log of everything that happened

    And you're better off without learning those things? Man, if there's a problem, especially with me , I need to know it.

    Also, you learn from missing deadlines. So having deadlines must be valuable even if you consistently miss them.

    Good point. But I guess the lesson for me is to have deadlines in the first place. At least it gives you a target. I think, "go! go! go!"... and then fuck around with small details until I go broke. I need way more awareness of th

    Thanks for this. I've been struggling to work full time on a project for a few years now. I think it's the most important thing that I can do with my life now, so I refuse to let go for any reason. (I'm a US citizen literally

    A thing being impossible or highly cost prohibitive kind of hampers demand for it, wouldn't you think?

    I think that a better approach to software is to only build what is absolutely necessary, lazily, according to real user stories fulfilled by customer service. Try to automate away all the customer service, but only in response to learning

    I know it's off-topic, but fuck Medium. No, I don't want to join. From now on, I will not click links to Medium! (I'm tired of deleting their stupid cookies just to read a goddamned blog post.)

    This is why I want to design and develop software _lazily_, as a kind of perpetual wizard of oz experiment. I'm laying the foundations now, for a 'magic' software experience that learns to become whatever you need, lazily, dr

    I'm not sure why, but the word "enterprise" seems to trigger a knee-jerk tab-closing reaction for me.

    I really enjoyed mine, keyboard included. I rocked it until it died and rarely needed more power for web dev. I miss it! I don't think anything else competes with that form factor. I carried it in a little sling bag _just big enough fo

    Seriously, hope someone is willing to tackle this hypothetical scenario: Land owners are unaware of a buried cache of gold that was robbed from an armored car in the prohibition era... And it has to be dug up. The spot is marked with a stac
