This is a mess, I absolutely loath consent boxes both as a user and developer. The ultimate failure of a design is when you need to put up a sign, and this is insipid idea is basically a billion stupid signs. They totally break the UX of an

I remember the prediction the future cities would be designed around the Segway and how we all laughed at this at the time, but now when considering cities where we'd consider moving to, favorable e-scooter laws and infrastructure are

It has always seemed a crazy disconnect to me that so many in academia will endlessly complain about the expectation that what they teach prepare their students to obtain a high-paying job while happily cashing the checks and asking for mor

Every time someone brings this up I can only imagine some horrible version of of something like SCRUM being given the force of law.

I have done exactly this and found it to be a frustrating and thoroughly thankless exercise. No stakeholder for development teams care about any of this, and your allocation of shared resources plummets as people realize they can dump probl

How many people even check what kind of equipment they are flying on before booking a ticket? I know a lot of people who are not even vaguely aware which manufacturer the plane they are flying on was made by.

And yet with the rise of software recruitment platforms this practice seems to be creeping in to the US. Linkedin and Hired for example both "nudge" you to add a photo. From Hired.com: "Adding a photo will help your profile g

The German U-Bahn has a brilliant solution to this. No turnstiles or gates, you're just expected to have a ticket. The penalty for getting caught without a ticket is considered sufficiently high to make "Schwarzfahren" statis

I don't think there's much you can do, or if there is it is none of these things. Mine was ~4.5 for forever. I was always on time, careful entering/exiting the vehicle, very polite, etc. and even regularly gave cash tips befo

People were living in cities for many years before cars were invented, presumably at least some of them had children and were not young. Hell, people still live in modern cities around the world outside of the United States where car owners
