I find the guests pretty interesting most of the time and it tends to be laid back as he doesn’t get confrontational with people. It helps that’s he’s a funny guy and can carry a conversation with pretty much anyone.

Yeah it’s pretty weird. I watch a lot of his shows in the background while working. But I won’t be downloading Spotify to follow him over there.

They offer pretty good startup discount for a year.

I'd love to know what he put in that email to cause a problem that lasted a whole year. A simple "The tone of that email comes across off to me, remember the good nature in humour can be lost in text communications." Seems li

Pretty sure its mainly just recycling service. It's for people that have no interest in attempting to deal with the hassle of reselling.

There does seem to be quite the media campaign against zoom. Interestingly its highlighting that strange divide between those of us that follow 'tech news' and those that don't. I've seen a few of the tech types try and

Found it to be pretty unstable compared to zoom, especially when you get more people on it. Trying to convince people to use it is frustrating.

Awesome. I normally work on just web apps but had to build a website recently that had some complex bits in some pages but mainly a marketing site. The experience with nextjs and deploying with zeit was brilliant. Docs are good, everything

This has been my experience, zoom has been flawless while our team has had to go remote.

But only if they don’t interact with it for a week. I wouldn’t be surprised if a web app I hadn’t used for a week required me to login.

They also take the place of a computer for many people. I know several people who no longer have a computer or laptop at home because their cell phone does everything they need.

Do you think they're going to try and push us towards azure more, or force us into using Microsoft logins?

A bunch of people at my office got in last week when the cat bounced. Some sad looking faces today. Timing the market is a fools game most of the time, definitely right now.

You paid a lot of money for the bridge? It comes with the starter packs? I know a few people with these systems that have v2 bridges piled up at home as it was cheaper to get the starter kits and a bonus bridge than it was to buy the bulbs

Are some of the board seats allocated by people trying to counterbalance Elon though?

Tight control of the hardware and software reminds me of Apple.

I don't get monitors switching, but the apps don't return to their position when I switch from docked to mobile which is a pain.

This is just a continuation of the infantilisation of development teams. I don't know whether it's because the industry is young so there are a lot of younger people working in it, or that they're the loudest as they're

Maybe try a different set. My AirPods haven't dropped connection a single time I've used them. They connect immediately, and to drop the cliche, just work.

The idiocy in viewing these as the two possible options is staggering.

This is a good reason to break your tasks up into smaller chunks too. One more thing checked of the list is easier when its something like "add a button" and not "implement entire feature".

I think if doing this I would have a group split so one has to create an app that's finished (defining that would be fun) and one that has to write one that's code is 'clean' (again, fun defining that). I say this becaus

Pretty sure in the UK you're covered for 6 years if this happens. The retailer will have to refund the purchase if this happens.

I'm fairly sure this is how it works already in London, once a month or so I have to travel across the city with a load of bags so I uber, and the app normally says something like £30-40 estimate and I end up paying closer to £30.

It seems crazy that the school allows that. This is sort of what I mean though, society in general doesn't recognise the danger. No school would just allow strangers into the school to chat with the kids during their free time, or get
