I would prefer a convention… but first wins is backwards IMO. It really sucks when a bad convention gets adopted, like this first wins, or spaces instead of tabs. ;)

It matters a lot since wealth translates to power and influence. > Calling the modern middle-class human a peasant is quite misguided imo. The modern middle class is shrinking fast. About 17%. Most people are either low income or poor. &

> What he said that "its hard to prove if we are still peasants" is wrong. I think this depends on how you classify peasant. If we can agree that it's about income inequality, and not quality of life, then there was a stud

Every “win-win” most certainly produces side effects, usually unmeasured, which leads to naive statements like “it’s not zero sum”. We may no longer be peasants (hard to prove), but a large number of extinct species and ecological disasters

As someone who uses and is generally pleased with Elm (a large part of my product's UI is Elm) I could use more detail on what is different and especially why it is different. I did find a news post listing some differences, but it did

Semantics I guess. The way you worded it just seems like a bunch of machiavellian UX designers brought these dark patterns to management who were simply ethically negligent. All I'm saying is that I suspect the UX staff were directed t

It's impressive this many 3rd party app users went through the hassle IMO (3% of the whole).

Gaming too. And then we put it into our kid’s pockets, and started hiring psychologist to consult on game development… They don’t stand a chance. Part of the human experiment I guess. We’ll see where we end up. I suspect authoritarianism, r

I actually liked it, but my daughters immediate reaction was “This is so annoying” (but in all caps). Meanwhile, I find typing anything on my phone very annoying.

dotnet compiles in general are slow AF on macs, and F# really stood out as the slowest last time I give it a kick. F# looks wonderful, but unless you’re already in the MS ecosystem, dotnet just feels bad and out of place. And I guess if you

It’s the new agile. I bet there’s already prompt engineering books, courses, consultants, and coaches.

That could actually be the pitch. We’re selling turds to idiots with too much money… of course not you though (audience).

I’d wager some big bucks that this never actually happened. Sounds super made up. No way they were like “Well Shelly really knows what she’s talking about, but too bad she’s excited about functional programming… that’s just so 2015.”

If you gave them free coffee for a few years though and then started charging $5 then it’s a lot harder to argue that it costs money to make coffee. How the hell were you able to give it away for free for the last few years if it costs mon

It’s not “low information”, if anything we all have way too much information. It’s the overwhelming quantity of “low quality information” that’s breaking us. Combine this with the decimation of the middle class and democracy has a big probl

Honestly, just talk to your dog. I will talk to her like she’s a real person but with a slightly more exaggerated tone and she loves it. I.e. “Did you sleep all day again!?”

I think people being negligent legitimately happens quite a bit. I agree though that when it comes to corporate behaviour, negligence should just be treated as willful intent.
