As others have noted here, LiquidGlass by itself isn’t a bad idea. However, the execution is horrible. Massively inconsistent border radii, a Finder window that reminds me of the Engineers’ ship from Prometheus, laggy performance, illegible

If you're after code quality, then do it by hand. If you simply want to get it working, then continue with an LLM.

This is 100% needed, I'm sorry to say. Apple's hardware game has never been stronger - but software-wise they seem to be wandering around aimlessly. MacOS26 feels like a huge step back, so I'm hoping some fresh people will be

As a Slack user - this post terrifies me. It sounds like a laundry basket with a bunch of stuff taped into piles with label stickers on them.

Not to denigrate the content of the article or Linear - because it's a fantastic tool - but easy talking about profitability when you're able to spend a year in private beta, focusing on product. This is like talking about creatin

I wiped Win11 from my Ideapad and installed Ubuntu. I love Gnome & it's the closest it'll get to MacOS (am a Mac user mainly). Win11 was absolutely wild though - around every corner was some ad for Office365 or Copilot or some

And pubs! I'm not Irish, but it's very comforting going half-way across the world to somewhere like Florence or Hamburg, and going to an Irish pub where everyting feels familiar.

From the many years of running in a very poorly traffic-controlled country, you learn to look at cars and also to look if drivers notice you. It was actually uncomfortable watching people not look, but cars always stopping when I lived in G

No offense intended to the author, but this is the most bizarre list of points. I also realise how weird it must be writing a personal blog article and then have random internet-folk dissecting it. Hope this doesn't dissuade any future
