I own it and played it. It's good, very pretty, but highly repetitive. It's one 40km track, two trains, and most of the scenery is the same. It is one step above a Unreal Engine tech demo (e.g. the matrix demo from a few years bac

I've actually embraced the asynchronous element of AI programming in my personal projects. Playing Star Citizen? There's pockets of 5 minutes all over the place traveling from A to B. I keep my laptop nearby and have a prepared to

You'd be shocked at how easy Supabase makes these things. You can describe your data needs and it'll use AI to generate the table and RLS policies. You can even go a step further and have Replit do both front and backend. I had ch

I wonder if this benefits Framework because users can order with little or no RAM, and upgrade a later date?

Getting strong original iMac vibes as well, with a similar market opportunity. The chromebook / education space is awful, and a well built (and stylish) competitor can do serious business.

After owning a product, I've developed a lot of sympathy for the people outside of engineering who have to put up with us. Engineers love to push back on estimates, believing that "when it's done" is somehow acceptable f

At $500 for a large screen and CPU/GPU, my first concern would be power. This is a small company, so it's not realistic to expect iPad performance. I'm curious what the underlying hardware is, and if it's an existing med

There's plenty of games where either the setup is tedious, or some of the rules create confusion. Game of the year "Wingspan" confused everyone in my group the first time we played, and only made sense after watching a YouTub

If you're looking for more nuanced conversation here in the comments, don't bother. The title is correct, a basic brother laser printer is all you need.

I do love a site that does it's own thing with design. We've become so lazy with Medium, it's nice to see someone having fun with their presentation.

It's not font-color 3e3, it's font-red-300. That's an important distinction, because the second one respects the design system your art team spent a lot of time establishing. By using their language you normalize the set of s

I owned a couple, with peak Pebble being the Pebble Round. It was the only smartwatch I owned that understood it was a watch meant to be worn on the wrist, and not a portal into a series of invasive micro notifications. It was helpful, with

Shockingly easy to get to though. LIRR to Jamaica, then AirTrain. Usually faster than a car, and more predictable than taking the A (which you have to be careful to choose the right one).

It was an important lesson for me to learn. I read "Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday, which covered a lot of these thoughts, and helped me understand why I worked. What happened later was also interesting. I rejoined the workforc

I'd say that's a bit nihilist. There are certainly companies I've worked for (and now work for) where there is genuine care for the individual baked into the culture, though it does tend to scale inversely with size.

Quitting to quit working is a different feeling. You may spend time in the first month untangling your role and your ego. I had no idea how important the status was to me until I was just a guy, at home, that no one needed. It was a valuabl
