I like javascript. It’s lightweight and very flexible. No other language has async built in at such a fundamental level. It’s incredibly easy to throw anonymous functions around. It’s destructuring is incredibly powerful. JavaScript code is

I used to get angry all the time. Really angry. One day my counselor said to me “listen, here’s what I want you to do. When you’re starting to feel angry, just ask yourself ‘does this really matter?’. If it matters, go ahead get angry. If i

Ugh. This person is kinda suggesting that companies should have some noble higher purpose. Companies are entities for making money for investors and employees and maybe having fun doing it. The irony is this person is suggesting companies s

There are perfectly good alternatives to google. Letting them go would not be such a bad thing. People assume google is unique and irreplaceable. It’s not.

Apples podcast iOS app is one if the worst apps I’ve used. I’ve stuck with it since forever but dropped it recently. It’s slow and buggy and crashes and wastes disk space. Apples going to have to do better than that if it wants to play in

To put it in perspective, if the furthest distance man has travelled from the earth is the moon, and we represent that as 1 inch, then the closest star is about 200km / 125 miles away. In such a scale, Voyager has travelled 80 feet.
