LastPass has become garbage since it was purchased by LogMeIn (or whatever parent garbage company owns them these days). I can't comprehend why anyone would use them. I can only personally recommend Bitwarden instead - it's open

I interviewed with their ops team there and turned it down. Just had a bad smell. I think they hire 'SRE' that can write good leet code. The problem with those folks for ops is that they over engineer complex solutions, and the

I think for your software product, you may have underestimated the value of GitHub.io domain. Your post makde it sound like it went from one custom self owned domain to another, that's not the case at all. I would move it back to gith

This feels like all the same mistakes Apple made the first time they kicked Jobs out. They just don't know how to manage success.

This is awesome news. Every architect I know uses Macs with dual boot since cad software isn't supported by Macs. Now they won't bother with the MacBook at all. Given how Orwellian Apple has become, I'm excited for their d

Wowzers, I was literally wanting this just earlier today, for all the reasons you built it. I bet it would be useful for blind people as well, although I know they have other tools. Here's a link to this article itself. Very cool. ht
