Developers are first and foremost interested in getting things to work and maintaining them in good working order. Simple things tend work better and more reliably than complex things. They are also easier to fix when something goes wrong.

The term complaining is overloaded. What you describe is actively doing something to make the problem go away. The "no complaint challenge" [0] linked from the article gives a pretty good definition of the type of complaining th

Fair point. To be honest, I hope that such a bug could have remained open for 7 months because of insufficient resources. Any other explanation is even worse.

This thread is full of people suggesting to just switch everyone, including grandma, to Signal/Matrix/Telegram/XMPP . This is naive. First of all, I'm a big fan of Signal and Matrix, but it is hard to overstate how much

One of the biggest benefits of micro services isn't technical, but organizational. Micro services and service-oriented architecture in general can be a good fit for when you have separate teams working of different parts of a large pro

I don't understand the focus on NSO in these stories. If U.S State Department personnel in Uganda were shot from an M-16, would the headline mention "an American arms manufacturer"? No, because it's ridiculous. For bette

You're proving my point. The sources you linked are the eff, a techie's personal blog, arstechnica, and forbes. With the exception of forbes they're all tech niches. Now look at mainstream media. CNN alone has 230K results fo

Google's has been bashed so consistently on privacy issues on mainstream media that non-techies often associate them with creepy data collection. Microsoft hasn't been in the news as much, at least not regarding privacy matters. T

Thanks for the suggestion. Never heard of the Rollermouse. It doesn't seem to be a good fit for ergonomic keyboards, which is a deal breaker. But still, an interesting product.

The mouse is just as big of a problem. I honestly don't understand why there are (almost) no keyboards with a built-in mouse. Being able to perform at least some mouse movements without moving your hand(s) off the keyboard is great. Ye

> I wouldn’t be racing to emulate the way they do things. Netflix or not, emulating how someone else conducts their business without a firm understanding of the underlying reasons is often a bad idea.

Of course. The original sunbeam probably could not have been even made or sold today due to safety standards.

Unfortunately, this will probably just cause manufacturers to use easily guessable "unique" passwords like the model number plus a couple of random characters. So grandma will be locked out, but not anyone capable of writing a scr

Vaccinations are the closest thing we have to a solution. No one has long term experience with them, so understandably no one knows how long they protect you for. That's life. Yes, there are some (minor) risks associated with the vacci

Glad to hear we're not the only ones. There were times when I felt like I was part of some elaborate prank or social psychology experiment to see how developers would react to an obviously broken product. Trivial use cases were, and pr

Nice job! I like how you laid everything out and tied it all together. This may be outside the scope of this work, but are there any resources on learning how to solve some of these issues?
