Outrage is not going to bring about a solution. Either “the gov’mint” has to step in and regulate or consumers have to vote with their wallets. Many of us own iPhones because we choose to trust Apple’s ecosystem over Google’s.

Many years ago I sat next to the CTO of Broadcom on a plane. We struck up a conversation and when I learned he worked for a chip designer I asked the question that I assumed was the most difficult part. I asked how the engineers laid out th

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't tried tRPC yet, but I do use Prisma. I am slightly curious/puzzled why I would need both in the same project. Doesn't Prisma get you most of the way there? Or, is this for creating a CRUD RE

I had always heard that the original name for the HTTP server was because it was just “a bunch of patches”. Seems a better name for the foundation is a good thing.

Then you are senior enough to know what “ then-CEO now-chairman Gary Kelly” really meant was “I haven’t funded our technology team well enough to have resources to test a scenario like this”.

This. Tailwind and react work very well together. Components then become portable to other tailwind projects. The best part is tailwind then only ships the CSS you actually use to the browser. Much cleaner than older CSS approaches like boo

Software complexity in most cases is a direct reflection of business complexity. Changing requirements, overly complex processes, “approval” steps, etc., etc. if you can build it faster and cheaper - great! But you will end up in the same p
