The same as any enterprise company. It’s all office politics and bureaucracy. Make no mistake, Google is Enterprise.

If you had screen recording on by default you’d run out of disk space pretty quick. MS just did what every other micromanagement company did and took screenshots every second or so.

The term is used ubiquitously in the field of technology and has been for a long time. We also have Tech or Software Architects, and quite obviously they don't do Real Architecture™ or civil engineering, but the concept makes sense. It

I’ve interviewed people who wore an earpiece and were fed instructions on the fly, and also people who kept their cameras turned off to try and hide the fact they were getting assistance. You started picking up on patterns like them repeati

As soon as the VHS effect goes out of fashion in PS1 style indie horror games, the community will move on to C64 style cassette loading sequences… on steroids.

There is a non-zero number of developers out there who would sooner deploy a proxy that upgrades http to https because the thought of changing the application code wouldn’t spring to mind

The overall vibe I got was reading Jonny Truant’s passages in House of Leaves where he dives deeper into the work of the late Zampano and essentially forms a bond with him through that. Add in the occasional segue into fairly cringe sexual

IIRC there is a flag in MacOS settings to toggle it. It’s always been disabled by default for me.

Copilot for me basically seems like semantic copy/paste. I’m doing some refactoring and make the same style change in a couple of files, then copilot kicks in and understands enough to suggest a legit completion for me. I only use it s

The thrust of my point, which I should have explained better, is that 'accessibility' is very tightly overlapping 'power user'. I'm glad the configuration is there, but it's hard to discover, so in and of itsel

The Messy Middle is an incredible book that essentially details how the CEO of BeHance, back in the day, rewrote Adobe's offering for the cloud, and detailed how he'd do it. Scott Belsky - now investor himself - writing how he sol

I don't love that solid UX gets pushed under the accessibility rug, as an option you might never find. I don't care how cynical it sounds, user experience became user exploitation a long time ago. Big Tech have been running that g

I've noticed that the output tends to suffer when you pass in longer lyrics, too. Lots of my experiments start off fairly strong but then it's like it starts to forget, and the lyrics lose any rhythmic structure or just becomes in

Overall, I think the internet has basically been weaponised (intentionally or not) by big tech. People of every generation are being manipulated at a scale that has never before been possible, and what’s more is that the algorithms for targ

I think we both agree, you just went into more detail on it. The executive level shouldn’t be able to defer all of the accountability to employees lower down the ladder (e.g blaming it on an intern or whatever usual CYA excuse is rolled out

The buck can and should stop with the executive level anyway. They are paid extremely handsomely, in huge disproportion to the rest of the staff at their company, in part because fucking up at this level means you won’t see the C level agai

Prep first and follow the recipe. It’s not as hard as it seems if you get all your ingredients ready and then start cooking. It is literally a list of instructions. It tells you what to do. No imagination needed. It becomes a lot easier t

Taxonomy is also quite a complex problem and Wikipedia has put a hell of a lot of work into that, and disambiguation. The proposed alternative here is to basically distribute the taxonomy? Anybody who's touched microservices for even a

I got one because it's the only mini dishwasher that can fit in my kitchen. The cassettes don't clean that thoroughly compared to normal dishwasher tabs, so I just use those instead.

I can recommend Linear. Very nice UX. I think the higher level project stuff is a little bit lacking, especially on the reporting side, but it’s definitely a leaner option than the incumbents.
