Definitely agree. I'm not defending a clusterbomb of advertisement trackers but its disingenuous to call out only one. I feel ashamed I once respected them/him as an outlet of truth but in reality serves only to push a single pers

And this blog post is a brilliant metaphor for why I stopped clicking amp links a long time ago. A much larger than necessary header that bounces up and down as you scroll, with a insanely massive related articles sticky footer. AMP is a sc

I live in Chicago, and this is a bunch of fuss over nothing. The 'watch out for ice' signs are everywhere and a ton of places get cordoned off in the winter. This is not unusual or unique to the new Apple store. Have also been to

Always use example when talking to PMs or UX designers about features. Asking customers what features they want is a quick way to get into trouble. If they really need it, they will let you know.

Used to like Yelp as an alternative to Google owning everything, but they are destroying their brand using shady app-hijacking tactics. It's a dark pattern to limit access/force app downloads for access to content on mobile. I hat
