Yeah, but trying to create a perfect analogy is like trying to improve the poundcake, just isn't worth it.

Nah, you've identified the problem and IMO it's quite philosophical. Like to me, what the person in this article describes is what someone else would call "seeing the apple". >She could think about an apple: its taste

I think you are misremembering. I think Braid debuted on the Xbox Arcade or something like that. Maybe you are remembering something like Passage?

Hard to really get a sense of tone from text quotes of a cynical game dev, but I got the feeling that he comes across as entitled to sales. For a remaster of a game from 2008. Sorry, but you cannot expect "a million" sales for a p

To point 1, I totally agree. ChatGPT's VUI is really good, especially when "learning" things with my kids. A huge step up from trying to "talk" to Alexa.

When UX designers started to look at their job more like science than art, the tech world became more boring, dull, and soulless.

The race is on. What will AI deliver first...? Production-ready code so PMs don't need engineers, or production-ready designs so PMs don't need designers? The reality is that without domain experts (design, research, engineering,

For me, I am immediately turned off by these models as soon as they refuse to give me information that I know they have. Claude, in my experience, biases far too strongly on the "that sounds dangerous, I don't want to help you do

>I'm trying to put a pin in exactly why this is offensive. While the corporate read of this would be "look, we've crammed all this cool stuff into an impossibly thin device!", which was probably the marketing pitch...

I personally believe university is exactly what you make of it. I went for a full 4 years to an expensive private university with a good reputation in my field, and it’s done a lot to open doors for me. However, I don’t really believe that

It's actually incredible how many engineers and designers I have met personally who believe that college was a waste of time, in comparison to the knowledge that can be gained just through internships, mentorship and forms of apprentic

It's not that recycling plastic is 100% a "sham". Recycled plastic is real, and products made from recycled plastic are real. The "sham" is that recycling plastic is not efficient. Still marginally better than stra

I have to admit, you had to have seen this coming. In terms of corporate structure, it never feels good to see managers enjoying a "benefit" that their employees don't. Imagine a remote manager in Florida who manages a team

I just don't get this, or any other "VUI"/voice-centric platform for that matter. The killer feature of the smartphone or watch isn't that it's the most convenient (which it is), it's that whatever you wan

It's not "he ruined the product", it's "he shipped what leadership wanted". And yes, it gets rewarded all the time. Besides, 'good' is a matter of perspective... if this reduced app closes by even 1%

I really don't understand the logic here. If the space is not permitted for occupancy, how can she be a tenant (legally speaking)?

It's not cheap to pay for inventory storage, warehouse workers, logistics, etc. When something like Amazon/Walmart/other can take on those liabilities for you, the costs come down.

One thing I worry about is Bandcamp. I was worried when Epic bought them, and I'm even more worried now as they were divested to a company I've never heard of... Bandcamp has for so long been a boon to independent music and musici

Walk around any office in Seattle or SF, and you'll see many people on Amazon, Reddit and YouTube as well... the only difference is they had to commute from Pleasanton/San Jose/Duval/Renton/etc. first. Most of the p

I don't think it's so much about defending AMZN as it is recognizing what a weak case the FTC chose. It's going to amount to a mere slap on the wrist for Amazon, in reality. This suit does nothing to limit the velocity Amazon

In fact, some quick research suggests that multiple Swiss watchmakers had engineered quick-change watch straps before Apple... but you can definitely credit Apple for bringing it to the everyday consumer. I found an article[0] that predates

Yeah, this is a strong counterpoint. Oftentimes companies don't want to know what their employees are doing or saying in private, all of that data is just additional liability. There just isn't a good enough reason. No company i
