I always found it interesting how many western religions and their followers maintain their faith in a “good” God, even in the face of terrible personal tragedy. I’m happy that people do, since it seems to help them and anything that does t

Some people don’t always have a fast (or any) internet connection when they work. In those cases it can be nice to have offline versions. I imagine this is useful for a lot of people around the globe. I don’t use the broader internet a whol

In Denmark we rarely perform tech interviews the way you Americans do. Part of this is because of how available education is, so virtually everyone who’s applying for a tech job comes with some sort of academic education, meaning that they’

I don’t think Google is necessarily overrated instead I think they have some issues being both an advertising company and something else. I look at them from an EU enterprise perspective. Back 10-15 when the big move into the cloud started

Blazor is silly. It’s more complicated to use than simply using React/Angular/Whatever you want and it’s less efficient, take up huge amounts of space and is much harder to debug. Coupled with how hard it is to actually build reus

Some people are pointing out that they found it easy to read your pricing before you added this site. I’d like to offer a different perspective. So many tech products and startups lack this sort of easy to find clarity. Many times in my pro

There is a difference between sharing the tech hype, and risk management. Why would our political and military leadership not be interested in this sort of tech in the modern world? If it doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out, but if i
