Maybe, but let me pose you mental model that a lot of NA iPhone users have. For a long time, if you were on iOS and added a android user to your group chat. All threading was broken. It was no longer a group chat just a bunch of out of band

Its a real issue in North America. SMS and as a result iMessage is the dominant text based chat. iPhones have become the default smartphone, and is a status symbol compared to Android. Mac vs Windows is similar on the laptop front. Which me

Reacts added some poor abstractions over the last decade. Looking at you hooks and effects. But its far from the worst. It was the first framework to put together JSX, a functional way of defining components and simplifying state. This was

Well said. This sums up my own feeling. I joined this craft and love this craft for the simple ability to build beautiful and useful things. This new world makes me more effective at it. And this new world doesn’t prevent me from crafting e

QQQ is up 20% over the last year. GOOG is up 70% over the last year. "Pummelled" seems extremely sensational...

I truly believe our industry needs to elevate our own anti-awards, like others have (Razzies, Worst Game of the Year, etc.) to shame those responsible for building the regressive tech that corporations and governments push. There's alr

One, it doesnt damage your reputation as much as one would think. But two, and more importantly, no one is checking. Tree falls in the forest, no one hears, yadi-yada.

While the headline is interesting. I think the table at the end of the article is more so. - Worldwide sales -10% YoY - China sales -26% YoY And when you cross compare Porsche saying they sold more EV powertrains than their gas equivalents

Gleam is a beautiful language, and what I wish Elixir would become (re:typing). For those that don't know its also built upon OTP, the erlang vm that makes concurrency and queues a trivial problem in my opinion. Absolutely wonderful ec

Seeing these benchmarks makes me so happy. Not because I love Anthropic (I do like them) but because it's staving off me having to change my Coding Agent. This world is changing fast, and both keeping up with State of the Art and/

To be fair. I'd be fine lumping Golang in this camp as well. Theyre all different languages and ecosystems. But in terms of what use cases they fill? Theyre more similar that not. In otherwords if I'm evaluating Java for a use cas

People have mentioned they back "founders not ideas". Which is a great tag line, and also not 100% true, but true enough. The other side is they like to fund in area's that have a strong why now. One great answer to that is &

All spend accrues back to the cloud providers. Now theyre just using it as a discounted way to gain equity in the next wave of startups that matter. Good time to hold Amazon, Google, and MSFT.

I've been so happy to see Google wake up. Many can point to a long history of killed products and soured opinions but you can't deny theyve been the great balancing force (often for good) in the industry. - Gmail vs Outlook - Driv
