Yes, would be cool if they used something like Plausible (or fugu.lol, shameless plug, sorry) and included a public link to their stats in the footer.

Sure, why not offer an option. But I'm convinced that take home tasks are generally better because that's much closer to the way you actually work as a programmer. People who don't get nervous during live coding might like ta

I do think that take home tasks are the best way to hire somebody (or letting somebody bring their existing, recent code and talk about that). At the same time, I think companies should pay applications if this take home task takes more tha

I'm currently contracting for a client that uses a no-code tool to build their product, and this is exactly my opinion. If you're building a software startup, the only scenario where it makes sense to use a no-code tool (e.g., Bub

So you're saying that people who don't want children in fact should have children to be happier? What a presumptuous thing to say.

by shafyy 4y ago
I'm just saying that comment I replied to makes this sound as universal truth. Wanting children and being happy about having children are subjective things. There are people who don't have children and are happy about it, people w

For me, the killer feature of Google Maps is Reviews. For directions, I now usually use Apple Maps, although somehow I find myself "double checking" with Google Maps, especially for public transportation. Also the opening hours ar

We do know that new and better ideas usually come from younger people, not older people who have been doing the same thing for 50 years. We also know that in general, once people have status and power, they do a lot to not give it up. I do

They are related and probably sometimes overlapping. But you can think of UX as "what happens when a user clicks this button" and UI as "what color should the button have".

As I've commented above, I do feel the same way. But two things can be true at the same time: 1) The technology to make humans immortal shouldn't exist, and 2) if it existed, I'd probably still use it. This is not hypocritica

How do you see that happening? Would you just exclude people that are older than, say, 100 years, of doing anything that affects the world? They will still try to influence the world according to their old, outdated ideas.

Of course I would take, and so would most people. And this is exactly the problem. This will mean that it will be harder than ever to get rid of old, entrenched ideas. It's already hard now: Most decisions are taken by old white men, w

This guy is super cringe. So are rich people that are so afraid of dying and becoming irrelevant that they invest billions in trying to achieve immortality. It's a good thing for society and humanity that people die. It ensures change,

This is probably not the one you're referring to, but Pat Brown, co-founder of Impossible, also has quite a strong opinion on cultured meat. If somebody figures out how to grow animal parts artifically and reliably, there are much more

It's exteremely annoying and I'm forced to use it with my current client. MS Teams is worse in everythign they do compared to their competitors. I miss notifications all the time.

I was also disgusted and surprised by the NFT shit Tobi and Shopify pulled (still pull?). But I'd be surprised (again, lol) if they had more then a dozen people working on that stuff.

ZenDesk sucks, but it's not because they use Rails. It's their UX that sucks.
