I guess the moment you start adding those "features" the whole process starts again and in six months you might end up where we are today if you let your feet (fingers) run (type) away with you.

It's so Netscape 1.1 it doesn't even use HTTPS. Love it.

Do you have a citation I can see? This isn't me challenging your assertion, I'm just interested to see what happened :)

Go, go gadget globalisation! Seriously though that's pretty amazing. Fun fact: corporations used to exist for a limit period of time, to solve a particular problem, and were then dissolved. With the introduction of indefinite corporati

MkDocs isn't a "format" as such. It requires you to write Markdown and then configure the mkdocs.yml file to define the website's properties, such as the navigational structure.

On another note, you might want to consider converting the online copy of the book to MkDocs (using the Material theme), so that it's easier to read, navigate and search. I'd gladly lend a hand with this, if you like?

This looks amazing. Thank you. I've found an error. In Chapter 6, Section 3 (Introduction) you say, "In a previous chapter, we covered decimal and binary notation." but those topics aren't covered until Chapter 7 :)

I honestly think I'll just use Vim, a "~/notes" directory and my already powerful file searching functionality built into Vim (fzf powered I think it's called)

I've actually just started using Notion and the UI is nice, as is the feature set, but yeah, I'm getting a little annoyed by the constant page loads. I mean this kind of thing continues to fuel my beliefs that software is going ba

Same here. I think sometimes choice is a problem. I like a walled garden for some things.

Absolutely. It depends on the hardware. I've found if all you're doing is developing then FreeBSD is fine. If you bring simple multi-media use cases into the mix then things get a bit hairy. Ubuntu certainly helps, but it's a

I bought a MBP, turned it on and started working. I'm partly joking here, but overall I've been trying to use Linux as a desktop environment for nearly 20 years now. It's come a long way but it feels fragile to me. I've

Maybe. I'm not convinced. I think you can build something complex quickly and well at the same time. I built opskit.io in three weeks. It's about 90% automated.

I see where you're coming from with this, but this is getting into the realm of social economics and thus politics. To solve the problem you're describing we need to be better at protecting all members of society not in (high payi

It's easy to take a stab at someone online, behind a keyboard, but I'd suggest you show us all your work and we'll judge your future opinions based on it.

I see the point you're trying to make, however the increase in features (and their complexity) plus the size of the average graphic that a high-end professional has maybe grown by 300-500% since the 90s. In fact I'll tell you what

And that would be much easier to implement and understand. We seem to be obsessed with producing the most complex machines we can instead of creating simple, understandable machines.

F- me. I love this. This is a really important message. It's like Jonathon Blow asks: why does Photoshop take longer to load today than it did in the 90s despite the (insane) advances in hardware? I believe it's due to a bunch of

Is it the "top", though? If you get a job at Apple are you a "made man" at that point? Is your career at its peak? I don't think so. I would decline a position at Apple, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. There are pl
