The babysitting service argument is a bit too general for me. I’m talking more about the situation where parents don’t care at all or are just not able to cope with their own life. The authors argument sounds more like lazy parents. I agree

Reading through that again: School had also a lot of nice things besides the time with friends. I really wanted to learn, every book we read I went through in 1-2 days, I read books about biology,... so in hindsight I wished we would have g

The article leaves out the cases where the parents at home are maybe disfunctional in parenting and school is maybe really the better place for the children. Other than that I have the same experience, besides friends school time sucked. My

I kind of admire how it is done, not saying I like it but I respect the player. I really reads like someone reads Nir Eyal's _Hooked_ and executed most of it. Especially the elitism created by invite only, with some kind of 'hacks

This feels like a 'fake it till you make it' to the extreme. Where is the actual product/functionality? A landing page without anything behind is just empty promises, isn't it?

The same holds truth for powerful companies. Even more so: While a powerful (democratic) government can be controlled by voters, powerful monopolistic companies can't if the government is weak. Now I get the issue with a over-regulatin

Amazon really became a dumpster fire of knock-off products over the years. Just in my circle of friends we had knock-off Marshall and Apple headphones, as well as knock-off Lenovo power adapters. I lost trust in any of the products sold on

Is the project manager called too? Or is it just the developer who gets pressured in delivery and then pressured in maintenance, basically at the very low end of the food chain?

That is exactly what I mean. If a developer increases the major version with a serious update on features, redesign, ... It would be nice to be able to offer these for an update-price, cheaper for existing customers but normal prices for ne

One thing missing, deeply missing is priced updates. This would enable developers to earn continuously by maintaining and improve their apps. It would also reduce the incentive to produce throw-away apps. Lately it would it make less needed

Is it just me or do other people also read the name as `chaos`? I guess with k8s one hard part is to get it well-configured up and running and the other to maintain it and adjust to the project's needs. But seems the project tries to i

I wholeheartedly agree. The documentation is sparse and 3rd party tutorials have to be recent. That's why I still hold back for adoption. Paul Hudson has really good material but I wish I could just leave a tab open with the official d

So not much changed in the last 10 years. I envy the possibility in some parts of the world (mostly Silicon Valley) to sell dreams to investors. I'm also glad not all parts of the world a that hype driven but still, I got so many ideas
