Wagtail requires tens of hours of development to achieve WordPress's stock functionality, and there are very few plugins.

Yeah, easy, all you have to do is rewrite WordPress in JavaScript. Now instead of worrying about malware in plugins, you can worry about malware in plugins and your npm dependencies!

Most jobs - especially in software - produce very little or no value. There are a couple things you can do: - Accept it, do as little work as you can get away with, and find fulfillment outside your job. Maybe get a stand-up desk and do so

Microsoft is spending $70 billion all-cash on this, an extra quarter billion isn't much. I don't expect they'll cut him loose until after all the ink is dry.

You could have 100 part-time employees and contractors and be under $1M total revenue. Not common, but some kind of tutoring agency maybe. It doesn't hurt to cover all bases. The author thought of three qualities that would define a la

Anecdotally, I've found that iOS handles small touch targets much better than Android. I had an HTC Raider, a Moto G, and a Moto X Play, and I felt very fat-fingered on all of them. Then I switched to an iPhone 6s and now an iPhone 12

Active noise canceling makes some people feel like there's a pressure difference, like when taking off in a plane. It's because the headphones block low-frequency noises better than high-frequency ones, and the brain interprets a

I don't think 11 ever referred to 1.8 generally, but for the longest time the `openjdk-11-*` packages in one of the Ubuntu LTSes (18.04?) actually installed Java 8 for some reason.
