1password is by far my most recommended subscription to friends and family. In a world where almost every single app or service I use has thrown me into a rage from enshittification or show-stopping bugs or both, where I can hardly even typ

The big win for me has been the built-in PubSub primitives plus LiveView. Since the backend is already maintaining a WebSocket connection with every client, it's trivial to push updates. Here is an example. Imagine something like a mul

I've abandoned Next.js and React for Elixir / Phoenix. I am able to build a perfectly pleasant user experience with just a sprinkle of vanilla JS via Phoenix hooks. The fact that I have been able to build a multi-user collaborativ

I’m a huge fan of Eurogames but I regret buying Wingspan, it is an absolute bore. After 5 or 6 games it became kindof a meme in my family. “What shall we do now? A round of bird game?” Beautiful packaging and pieces though! And it’s very co

Since I assume some Framework product people are in here— my framework won’t go to sleep which is an absolute dealbreaker. Dead battery every time unless I fully shut it down. Forums are no help. Advice? I’d love to support your mission and

I came late to the software and web development game. I just wanted to prototype a tool I needed and ended up becoming a full time developer. After grasping HTML and CSS basics, prototyping my heavily interactive tool seemed impossible with

This is something I've thought a lot about, as I got two degrees in environmental studies, but ended up becoming a programmer because it pays more and is fun. I promised myself I'd never 'sell out' and would at least wor

Your examples are plain assertions. "do this." Paul's are more convincing, even though he doesn't assert anything. He just provides the rationale.
