An approach I did sometime back was to create a generic template kind of an app (in code not published) for B2B that had integrations with ERPs where the bones were finished but the UI was pretty bare so it could be customized for each clie

The thing I liked the most was the person view in how it shows things in real life dimensions, seems much more "personable" to communicate across distances for teams, at least from a non-vr way.

Yes, exactly. The only difference is the visual. Imagine an impossible coin that looks like a pin on one side and when flipped, a large platter on the other where the surface area of a coin's side equals experience in perspective. Then

When you work for very intelligent and driven people, they tend to be disgusted with incompetence or in my case lack of drive, which is the same thing, I noticed. It is completely counter to what they are. This happened to me when I did not

If you are carpenter holding a hammer you see nails. We are programmers so we see user flows. Put the hammer down, clear your mind. Look at what the u̶s̶e̶r̶ person is doing.

Well the part that doesn't sit well with me is the suggestion of addiction in such a light flippant way. It should not be used for the general population just as a drug addiction isn't. We can empathize with true addicts but label

This looks perfect for marketing websites where you get usually static assets and you can simply animate them in a flow easily. Great idea.

I think anything that is good or feels good has that potential of affecting behavior towards it. Using the word "addict" is a cop out to take away personal responsibility. There are true addicts so it should not be used so lightly

I don't. I usually scroll/resize the window so I don't see them. I honestly don't care if they are tracking me one way or the other. If you know what the government already does, we're already screwed so its more of

Yes, I agree it is more a part of our civilization as an expected norm of operation. Where I differ from the author is the fact that the majority of us our very capable of controlling our behavior although we may not initially realize our p

Do you believe that we are manipulated to be addicts? There are real addicts with genetic reasons for being so and then there are the rest of us that can control our behavior. Our behavior can be manipulated but we are not going to be addic

This article makes it sound like people are forced to be social addicts. Maybe some of us our outliers here so it may be odd for me to say this but I honestly have spent more time coding social networks than actually using them. So no, I do

It is run by humans after all. Some of these humans, even in their high ranking are just that, humans. I usually avoid those types as they sometimes have an axe to grind and want to take it out on "underlings". My rep is high enou

Well, at least I know why my location app gives me nearest locations that are 100 meters away. I hope Uber will open this up as an API for getting more accurate readings but it probably is biased in placing you on a road which isn't as

You have to vary your routine, workout in the morning but in different ways on different days, play with your kids, visit friends for coffee, talk to your spouse, play a sport or put together a robot. Pick activities that are not in front o

Imagine a corporate AI trained with empathetic traits as its primary goal and with its secondary goal, profits. I wonder if it would decide vaporizing certain individuals at Goldman Sachs would be more empathetic overall to humanity while i

oh you... you know what i mean, you have to have some standard way to talk. Bytes are tooooo generic. you don't want to be that guy at the party that is always saying but.... but you are technically correct :)

The web is a universal standard, not sure how you can get more generic than that. I mean, you can't.

Yah I get confused when to apply when at times. If I had to distill it down to when I think its a gain: 1. You need some networked thing to be setup no matter what, 2. It is a pain to keep doing over and over from scratch or one-off even wi

Yah funny you say that about versioning and breaking changes. The side effect of the CMS one for example is its been around for 7 years now and I want to kill it off but there are clients depending on it. I don't even update the code a

Just noting this as I have some successful use cases of microservices as it may help others. What I mean by successful is I have reused them in many projects without having to modify them for each project, meaning they stood alone with only

I don't think it matters where people are as long as there isn't some hindrance to their work ethic or shady work schemes going on. You simply have to be due diligent AND be a tech lead at the same time. You cannot offshore that p

This is just for enterprise customers where they wanted a snap-in mobile ecommerce app that integrated with their very niche ERP system you probably haven't heard of. It is just a software subscription agreement with no product site. I

I would say its easier to be focused than general for the small timer. I made a niche ERP integration with an app, then sold it for 150/monthly to 20+ customers. I've done other things like building a plugable CMS and making compo

Having 10K+ rep as well on StackOverflow, I thought this way for a time but more earlier on in my use of it. In looking back at the things that were deleted from my account or times I was down voted or things that were edited that I felt we

You have to wonder how its sustainable though if you have people just sitting there taking up space, not paying. I work remotely and I see this and have been wondering for years. Just because something is a norm doesn't make it profita
