Another idea: Quite often when I see a tool that isn't useful to me immediately, but might be in the future, I like to follow them on a social media channel like Twitter. This way I get reminded of the occasional update in the future,

There's a certain amount of "just the way it's done now" to the NPM dependency topic. A bit like how with the .NET ecosystem everything has turned into many dependent Nuget packages whereas before it was all integrated i

IMO the current SPA vogue is overkill for basic CRUD requirements like you have described, particularly if it's a business-oriented product. Unless you are planning to build something that is very consumer-focused with high levels of i

I like this a lot, as a unique selling proposition. The improvements you made to your site based on this also look good. By identifying this market segment, you can tailor your advertising more sharply, which will hopefully make it more eff

I had a quick look at your app's web page. Seems like a quality tool that could indeed be useful for people. My approach would be to do some traditional web-based paid promotion marketing along the lines of Google Ads and via Twitter.

Interesting advice. I have attempted to do so in my position, motivated by a desire for career change, but eventually find I lack the wherewithal to give adequate attention to both the PO-related and technically-related responsibilities sim

Lovely. Thank you for sharing these =)

That seems quite appropriate, given the loom-based origins of computing :)

Literally seeing the bits in your original article was a revelatory experience. Sometimes things are easier to understand when looking at earlier, historical technology. That linked article is also excellent. So exciting to see a visual ana

It warmed my heart to see Paint Shop Pro mentioned. I always found this a much more approachable general-purpose editor than Photoshop. These days I tend to use GIMP for pixel editing, personally, which works well enough.

Have had good and bad interviews. The good ones are where the team is friendly and polite, and ask reasonable questions (if you don't get them right, then it's objectively on you due to lack of preparation or knowledge, no harm do

A big beef a lot of users had (myself included) was that those menus were so convoluted it was difficult to find the appropriate option for a given scenario. Made worse by the modal nature of the UX: upon clicking an option which was deeply

Agreed. Steve Jobs once expounded the notion of 'discoverability' with the Macintosh UI - in particular the use of drop-down menus - which was a response to the keyboard shortcut-heavy applications of the IBM ecosystem. A lot has

Very interesting insights here - thank you. I think you could write an extended version of this post as a very engaging blog article (maybe with some example screenshots), if you were ever so inclined :)

I have this issue occasionally in Zoom breakout rooms. Leave Room? Leave Meeting? A moment's absent mindedness can result in an embarrassing exit from the entire call. This comes down to terminology, and also context. I feel there shou

Cool idea. Reminds me a lot of the earlier Thinkpads which had legendary swappability of components between models. For example, it was trivial for me to swap the superior keyboard on my T60 for the one on my T500. Not seeing anything about

While I don't think it's quite that bad, it does remind me of how Steve slimlined the Mac product line almost immediately upon his return.

Congratulations! It's a wonderful resource, and great to see it make it's way into library-form.

Wholesome, and tangible results to boot. A great role model of 'growth mindset' for other people who are interested in technology.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing :) I think anything created from scratch like this has value from an artistic standpoint. Good luck with your future endevours!

That sounds interesting to me. Did you ever end up posting the code of your engine anywhere? I think others would find the fruits of your labour useful.

Modern MBAs (at least the one I'm doing) very much take care to focus on factors beyond solely profit. Examples are the concepts of business sustainability and the different levels of maturity organisations can occupy within that, and

From experience, you may need to get hold of an older, more specific version of StuffIt to achieve successful extraction. 6.5 should work, IIRC.

As others have said, increase the size of your text / OS DPI scaling value. If you're reading a web page or coding, use the CTRL+mouse wheel shortcut to quickly zoom in and out to suit your viewing preference at any given time. I
