I deleted my account because it wasn't fun anymore. It turned from sharing cool stuff and being able to connect with random famous people to politicized garbage. There's still cool stuff, but there's also plenty of cool stuff

I'm glad you were able to be with him when he passed.

I feel like we should get rid of the boilerplate, rather than have an LLM barf it out.

I maxed the RAM and HDD on my 2010 Intel MacBook Pro -- using standard parts! Really kept that machine going for a long time.

Nintendo has fans because the software is good. Sure, the Switch was "underpowered", but if it plays the games I want to play, then who cares? Also, I think the $700 PS5 Pro wants a word with you.

Yeah, Kroger's behavior is infuriating. I've stopped shopping there; fortunately I have choices.

That's the exact opposite of my experience. Completely boring biz software that was, in essence, collections of forms. Didn't need the additional development burden of an extra JavaScript codebase, but that's what's in v

Yeah, it seemed from the description of desired functionality that heavy JS was going to be a necessity.

I go in to my office once a week -- mostly to remind people that I exist in real life. All (most) of the developers try to come in on the same day, I guess to facilitate that personal connection. I could probably take it or leave it, though

> you still have to do that somewhere with complexity Don’t forget about the other “invisible” requirements with a JS solution — more tests, more code, longer builds, more 3rd party libraries.

The funny thing is that DX for JS apps is usually _worse_: 2x the code just so we don’t have a page transition.

JS-heavy sites are frustrating to me due to generally worse UX — links can’t be opened in a new tab, because they’re not actually anchor tags. Forms can’t be submitted by the “return” key. Navigation using back/forward buttons is broke

I'm not a fan of his most recent work for Apple, but let's not discount his past brilliance. Hopefully he can get his "mojo" back. Although I'm bearish on "AI", so really don't care about this new par

I've been reading books about the history of computing, stuff like "The Soul of a New Machine", "Showstopper!" and "Revolution in the Valley" -- all these people working massive unpaid overtime. I guess so

LiveView in Phoenix is a similar experience, and I enjoyed (briefly) using it. https://pragmaticstudio.com/ has a good introduction.

One of my former employers did a big layoff last year -- lots of folks who I remembered as being "important" (long time employees, large contributions, lots of domain knowledge) were let go. Seemed pretty dumb, but the wreckage st

Not a split layout, but I made a 60% keyboard with Matias switches and Apple key caps. It's been my daily driver for about two years with no problems. Shameless blog plug: https://nathandemick.com/2022/03/buil
