The very first thing in TFA is a photo of where one of the pillars was ripped from the foundation. If that happened because of the force of the water against the house on top of it, then it could also happen when a tree or other large piece

My favourite recent experience was switching multiple times between using a library function and rolling its own implementation, each time claiming that it's "simplifying" the code and making it "more reliable".

I'm absolutely in favor of the rule, but this is simply not true. Mandating everyone to implement changes in how their software works will incur huge costs, no matter what the change is, even if there were zero benefit or savings for a

Passkeys absolutely make sense from a security (and in theory also UX) POV. Handling logins for dozens of services is either very insecure (reuse), has even worse vendor lock in (federated ID), or has pretty bad UX (password manager). In pr
