Home cooked apps FTW! It’s honestly such a joy to program stuff for you and the people you love and remove the expectation of it doing well in some arbitrary market

Personally I’ve never really had an issue with Google - I think my mental model with how it works is to the point it makes sense. It would be amazing if this could be used for internal documentation however. Like we have so much documentati

My parents work at a care home and every now and then, they will have a funny issue that I’ll try solve with code. Like, the staff tried going paperless so important documents needed to be hosted somewhere and a QR code was used to link the

If I was a betting man, I’d wager the reason why they give these weirder types of challenges is because solving CAPTCHAs means you’re labelling them, which gives who ever is hosting it labelled data to train their own models against. that’s

I wrote something similar (Lunchtime.io) as a way for the Open COVID-19 Initiative to relax with other members. One issue I found early on was that people would wait for ages to get into a call and leave. So we solved it by letting people p

Depends on the rate of requests. If you’re frequently getting hit, just do the math and see when to switch over. One disadvantage I’ve encountered is actually from a support perspective depending on your stack: if your team uses Spring for

Personally, I use social media as a way for inspiration. As an artist, I’m always curious about a new style or something I’ve never seen before. Social media does a good job curating it so I can explore my hobby more . Don’t feel that this

I was incredibly close to being you. I was close to getting into Arts but my dad smacked sense into me (don’t regret it. Turns out you can paint after work.) I work with people similar so my advice (take it with a grain of salt) is (if you

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s a market for “dumb” technology. I still use my iPod Shuffle because it doesn’t buzz when I’m listening to music while working. I can imagine regular HD TVs that are not “smart” could become popular aga

I love to hear about places like X, but what surprises me is that there are few places like X. You’d think in an industry where we’re constantly talking about “innovation” and “disrupting the market”, you’d see more of these types of places
