Sorry to be so blunt but are you advocating for letting developing minds get addicted? I hear expert after expert talking about the negative effects of those types of behavior and content. When you say they crashed a thousand times, what do

You can't be serious. I think it's rare for a company to treat developers poorly but that's beside the point. Didn't he lie to congress, waste tens of millions of dollars on legal defense for himself and repeatedly turn

I feel that GrapheneOS is a good compromise. It's significantly more private than an iPhone and after 2 years of using it I really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Cool, is this like GrapheneOS just without being open and free?

Of course it's bad. Noone who put up their work as open source wants some huge company taking it and selling it to get even more competitive advantage and influence in the world. And that's without mentioning the people who put th

Yes this! I've worked so much with static typing and I always think this when people talk about all the bugs that it prevents. I do from time to time wonder why stuff isn't working while I'm building it in a dynamic language

I think we need to be careful with trusting even our own anecdotal evidence because it's simply riddled with biases and bugs. 30+ years of experience is certainly impressive but I'd say you probably never worked in a senior team o

I feel you! What helped me was Mindfulness meditation, this in particular: https://wakingup.com/ . You can get at least one year free there.

Funny, I often had the experience that code is done faster with a lot higher quality when people pair up.

This is an extremely naive view of the situation. I'm really glad that you were able to help yourself but the material likely wasn't by Google. In the meantime Google is using this information to manipulate your desires and action

It would be really interesting to see some examples of the logic errors that were found that couldn't be found by tests. This seems to have been a very robust library. What kind of problems did you find? From what is mentioned in the a

Protest is an important form of participation in a democracy, it's not petty at all. Forcing developers to add Apple ID as a sign-in method is the petty thing. The developers have no power unless they unionize in some form which seems

I don't really see an agreement here. It's also not Instagrams content they are hiding behind the implied paywall. Because that's the real hidden truth, they make you pay, not with money, but with your soul. They will stalk y
