I've always found it interesting that this fairly influential site rarely changes and hasn't kept up with modern internet standards. I get that it's an ambiguously useful project for a venture capital firm and all, but you wo

"If it ever gets too bad, they'll just steal again" should hang on the wall of every media distribution company. Consolidation efforts like Netflix prevented piracy, but the splintering of streaming services has encouraged it

Totally agree. This is basically the same as blaming the first-day developer that wipes the production database. It's more on the police to change their behavior than to expect kids to stop being imbeciles.

My favorite interview question is "how do elevators work"? 0. If they immediately blurt out something like "I know how elevators work", probably don't hire them. 1. You can find out what areas they're most inte

Very much seconding this take. His arguments routinely lack nuance and there's some tenuous dot-connecting. As I got to the end of the article, I kind of got this nagging feeling that when I went to read about the author I was going to

I always love the phrase "live like a king" like it's some unachievable amount of luxury, when historically it's: - Mental illness. - Uncomfortable amounts of stone. Feeling trapped by the system. - The constant paranoid

I really like just asking "how do elevators work"? It's so open ended and they can talk about anything from the algorithm, to the mechanical design of elevators, to the UI, to a high-level discussion of all the different comp

The AndroidX transition breaking basically everything was worse than everything Apple did combined in my opinion. That was such a massive and messy headache.

This assumes it's not a DNS problem, and it's ALWAYS DNS.

> Humor me. Go there and add a little article. It will take all of five or ten minutes. What a perfectly phrased ask. How can you read "Humor me." and NOT add an article?

Probably because it reduces the amount of said "thought leaders" on other platforms. In my opinion, the signal-to-noise ratio isn't great.

Crazy that he converted a 7-10 split before he was born. It's actually kind of difficult to make this sentence not ambiguous without adding a bunch of words or subtracting meaning. "The first 7-10 split converted on TV in 30 years

How on earth does EVERYTHING go down like this? It just seems unfathomable to me. Where is the single point of failure?

> IP addresses, single label domains, and reserved hostnames such as test/ or localhost/ will continue defaulting to HTTP. Alright, phew. That would have gotten super annoying super fast.

Could you imagine being the CTO of this company, kind of cruising along in the modern integration focused environment? You need an email provider (looks like they used SendGrid) a 2FA provider (Twilio), hosting (AWS), apps (Apple, Google),

Talk about a product with a foot in the grave already. It honestly makes me angry how much human capital was wasted on making this. Everything about this is a UX nightmare, from the scrolljacking site, to the apps-in-apps UI, to the abomina

It's things like this that keep me sane though: knowing that even huge companies go offline or break the back button.

Oh god, was this written by GPT-3 too? Feels like we're headed for the next level of SEO dark ages, where the shovel-ware content that was written by humans before can now be automated.

Awesome! Really good teaching tool. I loved your solution for forcing people to use the often-neglected row-reverse and introducing order. The real braintwisters start when you introduce flex-wrap, flex-grow, and flex-shrink.

There's always a mix between "now we're at scale and need to solve this really hard data sync problem" and "let's build an internal slack clone because we can".

It's been like 5 years, but my impression was it took 5 seconds to find the solution and 15 minutes to implement it.

A high school teacher once told us "Only half of what you learn here is in the classroom" and for college, I think that drops down to about 20%.
