Nice! A few issues on Firefox android: - keyboard closes after adding each letter so it's a clunky experience - couldn't delete a letter - it let me add two letters into the last box of one word The rules are a bit unintuitive. De

Also he says he was 70 on 2020 before embarking on some of those big projects. I hope I'm half as active then.

What exactly is the problem with having the higher levels of web development supported through libraries (React, Vue etc) rather than directly in the browser? Why does this need to happen?

That really does sound depressing. I remember when I applied for my first professional job in 2004. I didn't even want the job, I applied out of obligation to get unemployment benefits for another two weeks. So I applied to a senior en

That kind of thing tends not to work on me, because if I do reply "hi", I usually then get distracted, and don't reply to the next message for many hours. So they quickly learn it's better to just ask the question straig

Yeah, it's true that almost everyone has WhatsApp, but that doesn't by itself create a network effect. Do people refuse to use other platforms?
