As a concrete example: getting an intern’s corporate proxy set up for a build system over video chat can be quite difficult. If they change the system proxy settings or change networks, the screen share goes out. You don’t face these day 0

I agree with your general point about the romanticization of no-car life. I grew up without a car in a walkable city. It was nice but there are legitimate trade offs. My mom used a wheelie cart to do our shopping growing up. As a kid I thou

But users definitely said “OS Ecks” and “iPhone Ecks”. Using X to represent 10 is a branding disaster. Doesn’t matter if you get it straight in your keynote that only nerds watch.

It’s not efficient. That’s the point. The car is a complicated product. It’s not a website. It’s not an app. My employer has 120k+ employees and factories in every continent except Antarctica. Regulatory bodies interject with anything relat

I work for a major OEM in automotive. Getting ANYTHING “simple” into real cars, especially anything related to physical access and starting the vehicle, is a huge undertaking. $1.2 mm is cheap for this sort of feature, assuming that money g

Amazing how my bank never had this issue. I’ve sent ACH, wires, checks, and Zelles left and right with my major bank for years and years. No issues. Yet my PayPal account that I used twice and had a $6 balance got closed permanently. Along

Pretty amazing how nonchalant you’re talking about theft. I guess the approved strategy for legal theft is as follows. 1. Create a payments company that accepts deposits and holds balances (a bank — but don’t call it that) 2. Create a broke

I would take Ken Thompson’s “Trusting Trust” over Djikstra’s “GOTO”. Djikstra’s “GOTO” is a rare lowlight, but as Torvalds said, we don’t speak ill of the dead.

So you litter the App Store with N + 1 versions of your app — where N is the number of major versions you’ve released plus the subscription version for non-enterprise end users. I mean sure, that may work, but it’s really ugly and it’ll pro
