> "I don’t email is a collaboration tool" That's almost the entirety of my point. Sure, email works well for simple, unidirectional / broadcast comms. But for async collaboration involving multiple recipients and any

Thanks for considering possible reasons for disagreement. I'd like to understand it, too. FWIW, I'm about to turn 52. Been working in tech since the late 1990s. Remote more than not. Email is great for certain specific things. But

Sending a wall of text in an email is, IME, ~never^1 the right thing to do. If more than a fraction of colleagues fall into that bad habit, soon all anyone will be doing is email. Let alone if you try to respond to one of the too many point

How do you search emails you weren't cc'd on?

(Replying to parent and GP) I wasn't suggesting an IM system should be the source of truth for long-form documentation. But searching Slack works better than searching email you weren't cc'd on. Virtually anything is better t

> "To my shame I've never read Dickens" I suggest dropping the shame; you're not missing much. IMHO Dickens is hugely overrated. Paid by the word and it shows.

Wow, "neal" looks excellent. Good on you for creating and sharing it, and for the awesome blog post.

Adding a RUM beacon for observability / performance metrics capture, as an opt-out feature for free plans (opt-in for paid plans), is not exactly nefarious. Hopefully/presumably there was some communication before the change was r

CF owns it all, coming and going (request handling and response writing), thus can choose how/whether to interpret, ignore, modify or append any headers.

> "All flagged stories are flagged by users that are part of an interest group." False. I occasionally flag items, never as part of nor acting on behalf of any particular interest group.

Good on you for doing this. High five!

In countless corporate environments (including in highly regulated industries), far from being a firable offense, piping curl to bash is often a prescribed step in setting up the standard dev env. The cognitive dissonance is soul crushing.

I recently^1 came across an analysis of no-code tools/platforms vs AI IDEs / Harnesses, and their relative usage and trajectories, and it looked pretty dismal for nocode. 1. I'll edit or reply to my comment if I get a sec to

Yeah. IMHO Claude Design's current UX is so abysmal, it's borderline unusable. Kind of ironic, given its remit.

Excellent article. More compelling than TFA being discussed. Thanks for sharing!

It's kind of strange how the state ("of, by, and for the people") and corporations (comprised of people) are such distinct entities with their own interests. The fact that the state and corporations can and do collude in oppo

This matters. Beyond performance (a universal good), the definition of "good" UX is strictly dependent on the user. Fintech platforms for traders who open a multi-window thick client application(s) and spend hours in it every day

Yes. This was the case long before LLMs sprayed the tire fire with gasoline. See e.g. this 2021 gem from Dan Abramov (React's creator) https://overreacted.io/npm-audit-broken-by-design/

Agreed. Also, pretty confident this is one of the reasons Obsidian is able to compete (and win) against Notion despite the huge difference in capitalization.

Thanks for sharing. Naming tangent: FWIW I have recent interest in "smolvm" microvms from smolmachines.com, which are unrelated.

Yeah I was going to share it too. I watched a yt video yesterday where Tanner talks about how (in contrast to trad component-based libs) it takes a very different approach to composition, letting D3 do the heavy lifting and using its visual
