I'm surprised about the amount of comments here berating FB & social media companies. You have the option to deactivate your account and stop using it, to "vote with your feet". Meta is a company and will maximise revenue

Not really related to this post specifically, but my opinion on Cloudflare is slowly shifting from "really like them" to "they're actually hostile to indie devs". Almost a month ago now my account was incorrectly ch

> Where are all the self-directed learners? Doing something other than filling out some esoteric BS form. These are possibly the worst kind of job applications in my opinion (coming from someone who has filled some out in my time).

Amazing lack of real photos and, seemingly, people.

I've found the opposite true as well.

Something pg native would be fantastic.

IMO the problem with these social-networks now is that they all turned into ad-machines & "like-bait". The original products worked extremely well - but you gotta make money somehow, and ads seem to be the go-to model.

I lived in Hamburg for a few years. The single most jarring thing was always healthcare - expertise & availability. My personal opinion was that physicians seemed to be overly dependent on tech/equipment so their clinical diagnoses

I would say the article is a bit nit-picky IMO. For every pattern there are probably dozens of poor-use examples. I personally really like the Gmail undo mechanism.

Kinda hilarious seeing how hard people went to add "AI" to pretty much everything.

LLM's are not useful enough to me to want them integrated with my daily-drivers (web browser, email client, etc.) - so this is a great take & one that I personally identify with.

Adjacent point, but I recently bought a Windows laptop (after 10 years on Mac). I've been blown away by the sheer amount of advertising & upsells at OS level. Some of it you can turn off, but others you can't seem to (for me a

Hi! Right now the project is in an "early access" phase, so a lot of work is going into resolving these stability issues/fixes, but this is really great feedback - thanks!

I just found it a bit lacklustre & uninspired.

I've been running a consistent 10-11ish kilometers 5 times a week for the last 13 years. Recent (old) re-injury has forced me to switch to weight training about 6 times a week - and absolutely loving it. I'll probably switch to so

As per the article, do people really see Canva as a competitor to Adobe? I must be missing something.

Love Spotify, saying that as a UI guy as well as a music lover. I've tried Apple Music, Deezer & recently Tidal - but find Spotify's music discovery alg. is killer for what I listen to.

I hate that "content" now has become "content we want people to engage with so that we can get likes and clicks and become thought leaders and such". Likely unrealistic, but I hope the internet can get back to where it w

Assuming an entry level job? Probably React. But real world code (in the form of libraries/apps/projects) is way more valuable IMO. Regardless of framework, to an extent of course. Good luck!

Janus really is one of those projects you can't believe is OSS. Great work.

Actually, can anyone give some insight to if the LinkedIn (cringe) posts actually work (converting sales, etc)?

In 2024, I'd like to not fry my battery when browsing a simple website. Thanks.
