It's also important to remember that we've never had such a powerful, established and fully centralized media. The tech and the reach they have would give any dictator a chubby. Power corrupts.

What's terrifying is with all these professional analysts in here, yours is the first comment I've seen that asks this obvious question.

First thing I checked, sadly missing considering the amount of medical field data on it coming out of China/East.

We've needed a solution like this for almost a decade. Thank you, thank you. Love the minimalist vibe to it, gets the job done, transparent + reduction in complexity for user = safety. Would you ever consider creating a mesh network ma

meh. // as a programmer for 37 years, and a person heavily familiar with technology -- meh. That is 80s level crap right here, he didn't seem to know people yet. Fair enough, but still. The future is nothing like this man thi

As a developer of 36+ years, I have 'some' authority to say this. You made some good points but stop! I think the other commenters here have patiently covered the salient points. You work in an industry that is evolving.

Great! We're all old here it seems (I'm 42), a few of us joined back in the 90s... It started as a great human experiment, such fun. It became co-opted by commercial enterprise. The two largest gateways into the experience are now

This is just a guess, but I would imagine (based on a glance at U.S. stats) over-prescribing accounts for a lot more pain and death than under-prescribing ever could?

The assumption "very smart people" is the reason for the fascinating disparity. IMHO a better assumption would be "well trained, well established, well rehearsed, highly skilled". Tesla was "very smart people",

Our community began being filled with relatively inexperienced types who treated engineering problems and solutions like a popularity contest. It was suddenly 'smart' to mock it, so they did, barely understanding the basics. In es

Hey.. i'm 42 now, But I was also programming at 13 (at that time we were trying to convince people that computers could be useful, and teachers to allow us to be in the computer lab). A few things I picked up over the years: Keep going

That's lovely. Beautiful, readable, elegant bit of code. (35 years experience)

My dirty little coding secret: After decades of coding, I think MVC isn't appropriate for all websites!!! The horror. M(V&C) is my dirty secret.

Same experience here, hiring more experienced (generally older) developers works out better sometimes.. Who would have guessed?

Finally, great comment - had to scroll too far to get to this! 1) The developers clearly weren't experienced enough to know what document storage is and when/where it shines/fails. 2) Author jumped on the ever-boring 'i

This may be somewhat immature as far as its development but IMHO it's the beginning of the future. My guess is that we'll now be seeing almost complete server/client decentralization of many of the most popular apps (social &

15+ years here too, I have exactly the same situation. 90% of the things I worked on years ago, I wouldn't bother with now; I would just google. There's only so many times you can make a library to handle 'common stuff'

That's a great link, thanks! Something subtly 'exciting' about those images, probably the idea of adventure buried in there somewhere :)

The rise of 'scientism' - until a few years ago I considered myself a 'science type' (excuse the phrase), immersed in logic all my life. Recently the depth of negative influence, corrupt findings, blind faith and religio

Thank you for writing this down. There is so much bullcr*p in tech, and always has been. It's false advertising and effectively devalues the entire industry.

Didn't the almost exact same thing happen 2 weeks ago? A plane did a nose dive (but that time recovered) - or ?

Are you kidding? Yes it's a unified entity. I will chop off a leg if a government 'arm' defects. Go back to sleep America, everything is under control.

If you appreciate the underlying vibe, you might also like the 'weekly wipe' series. Different format, it's news / political satire. It's created by the same guy - Charlie Brooker.

It's all fluff. Make a great product, your clients will come to you.
