    I’d tell you a joke about UDP but you might not get it.

    Tbh I hate hybrid apps where you’re clearly dealing with a html inside a container. You’re always getting a sub standard result with it.

    Hit the gym. The best software engineers I know can bench 60 kilos. Work on your abs and hit the protein shakes. Bill Gates used to do this and look where he is now.

    The band and the stage. I think it’s a very underrated thing tbh. If covid was to stay for a number of years then I think people would warm to VR. It would take that length of time. If the music industry got behind it and promoted it, it co

    YouTube? Remember when there were no ads? Now they are flogging the platform to death like a tired racehorse, for every cent they can get.
