I don't understand the "othering" comment. My point was that within software, DevRel generally serves a very different purpose and function than marketing or sales, and that comments equating DevRel to "just sales/m

Are engineers writing code for the core product in sales and marketing? What about product management? Many non-sales/non-marketing roles primarily exist for the purpose of generating or enabling the generation of a sales pipeline. Thi

I suspect they’ll co-exist, but I don’t think full replacement is likely in many cases. Existing RPA products will continue to exist if for no other reason that they’re already deeply embedded in many environments. Over time, those same pro

A lot of the comments here are dismissing DevRel as just "marketing", or "tricking people" or "they just exist to sell stuff". And I think these comments are missing the point. While DevRel may include aspects

It's going to be really interesting to see how work like this impacts the Robotic Process Automation or "RPA" product space. Many of the enterprise products in this category have used computer vision to help reduce brittlenes

As a method of estimating adoption, that seems fairly suspect. It doesn't exactly seem like a capability that would generate much news. Google Trends seems more likely to be instructive, and as a topic, it has shown fairly steady (if l

I dunno. I know people who use their Memojis regularly and seem to enjoy it. I personally do not, but I think I’m not their target user. Not sure what the broader adoption looks like. But I think these are different enough capabilities that

Plenty of companies do stock buybacks without also engaging in predatory pricing that customers are powerless to fight. The situation is even more problematic when you consider the lack of alternatives, and the often live-preserving nature

Perception is reality in many cases. I have family who got sucked into Q-related stuff, and this kind of over-the-top ominous imagery is all over the telegram channels they are addicted to. Many people in these circles take it very seriousl

Thanks for sharing these; I’ll definitely check these out. I somehow missed these during my initial search for similar projects. I recently got my hands on an RTX 3090 for my Linux workstation and I’m planning to try getting some kind of re

Literally yesterday I spun up a project with the intent to build something exactly like this for Obsidian. Excited to see something already far more realized, and I’m looking forward to trying this out. I’ve been working on a larger than sm

My original intent was just to explore the complexity of the situation. People clearly want to cut them out of the process, but this requires justification just as much as Apple's current stance. The question is: why should they be f

I was referring to the formulation of beliefs based on reasoning that is not sound, e.g. an emotional appeal that convinces someone but has insufficient evidence to back the underlying claim. For example, I convince you that flying causes i

I agree that people are often swayed by feelings, and that we don’t operate as perfectly logical/rational beings. But if the only thing that convinced you of a thing is an analogy or emotional appeal, and if in being convinced you lear

by haswell 3y ago
To split hairs a bit, analogies can support arguments, but are not considered a conclusive form of evidence/argumentation in and of themselves in formal logic. While the analogy may have been instrumental in helping change your mind,

I'm trying to understand your point. Netflix already distributes its app via the App Store and pays no fees for users who subscribe directly with Netflix. I was a Netflix customer before I was an Apple customer, and have never touched

To be clear, I'm not a fan of Apple's vice grip here. But I also don't think I agree with this: > in a way that effectively does give them ownership of your customers Netflix and its users may find it annoying that anyth

I phrased that poorly. My point was that it isn’t clear if there’s a point at which the balance of the relationship shifts such that what was once reasonable (paying fees to Apple for access to their customers, among other things) is no lon

There was a time when I would have agreed pretty whole-heartedly with you and dismissed this as a "simple stupid design flaw". I've been writing production code for over 20 years, and the existence of solutions like Bartender

Regarding personas: one of the things that excites me about AVP is the potential for true remote collaboration and brainstorming, where everyone involved can interact with virtual whiteboards and co-explore designs. I don’t think that just
