It's actually the health insurance industry. But thank you for your concern.

All that is true of regular type as well to some degree, I guess my point is a standard of readable url type could have all those qualities. Also the longer a url is out in physical space the more danger of it being replaced online, longevi

I was recently discussing this subject and I have to wonder if some combination of human readable symbols that is also optimized for machine scanning will emerge. Right now any phone should be able to parse a url if it can read the type, an

The end of programming will be the end of code. Code exists solely for humans to interface with machine language. If code is involved at all in any solution, it's a concession to humans. An AI with the power to build software from some

Sports are the metaphor. Regular people intellectualize the game and are derided. No one needs to fight, we can all see the game happening. We incorporate all the functions of pleasure into our identity. Huxley cant recognize the social p

Seems like that will simply lead to a huge glut of noise, more quickly and thoroughly desensitizing current and subsequent generations to fakes. The reason I mention Photoshop is because it is many orders of magnitude more automated than ph

QR has the same contrast requirement for colors to be read. I'm not sure about this compactness idea, especially since the text url is usually right there with the QR code, in the same space.

And not human readable, is my point. The value tradeoff in accuracy and compactness is the question. Will that be enough to sustain QR codes? I don't think so. Also most QR codes seem to include a text url nearby the code anyway, so th

QR codes seems to be living on borrowed time, saved from obscurity by the pandemic. Why can't my phone just read a printed URL by now? There's no reason the same information can't be human readable as well as easy for my phon

Sentient AGI has just as likely a chance to pull the plug on itself. Unpopular, non-doomer opinion but I stand by it.

Maybe not perfectly framed, but the point that engineers don't have time to write tests is salient. Minor disagreement with this point though: > Tests can only tell developers they made a mistake. There is no gain at that moment. Th

Pretty good list. I'd add some encouragement and priority for anything your team is doing that shows ownership of the product or process. Often this comes from individuals, such as the "go to" person who hacks on the developm
