My personal theory on why rails never beat out Wordpress (beyond that it has different goals), is that any attempts to make a Wordpress competitor never addressed end-user plugins. Ruby has package management called Gems. And while these ar

I want to reproblematise the word ‘leadership’ here. The phrase ‘servant leadership’ is actually a paradigm shift away from classic ‘out-the-front’ ‘the-boss-knows-best’ ‘dominate-others’ leadership. What the author is missing is parallelis

Analysis using BuiltWith shows that the site is coded with PHP, Perl and Java. Smells like real enterprise decisions right there. I’m no expert but I’d be guessing that the Perl is likley the remains coming from the old code base. That’d be

It’s not “free tier” it’s all the tiers being significantly discounted (underpriced). It’s ALL pricing. Per the article is all underpriced… run the logic.. assume when the funds run out that prices across the board go up 5x, 10x, more. Asse

As the article surmised at the end; AI is most definitely not free (and infact is quite costly) but major players are subsidising the price and cost of tokens to developers, such that right now everyone is pretty much getting AI tools and p

I’ve always liked how Task Manager just worked and was so nice to work with. Nice to hear that this was very much the result of a dev who really cared and saw themselves as a craftsman. Happy 30Th Birthday Task Manager!

I’d agree with deferring any and all social media as long as you can get away with. On the YT front a small thing that helps is an extension that removes all recommendations. So YouTube opens to a blank screen with only search and after wat

Ah yes sorry the video software was a lazy example but I think you get my point. I did see them find confidence in having such a deep library of free software to poke at and around with. Insert slightly more niche need that a kid might have

Very fair. Yes you can’t force them but I still think there is value in attempting to start the Linux way which you very much did. Sounds like you’re doing a great job and tuning in to the needs and interests of your child. Love it!
