I like the idea of sprints as a simple “here’s my goal this week” sort of thing. Much more structure than that and it feels oppressive, less than that and it feels amorphous beyond the goals of a day.

Meta specifically aimed threads away from being a news app too, so that itch may never get scratched if it had anything to do with news/politics.

I've started by attending city council meetings virtually. Soon, I want to start going to meetings, especially ones around urbanism. I recently moved to one of the few walkable/bikeable areas of my city (of course this is the olde

ClimateTown, along with Not Just Bikes, City Beautiful, City Nerd, and the like give me hope that the message is getting out. That being said, the more I watch these videos/listen to their podcasts the more I understand that city plann

I've been rocking this same device for a while now and it's revived my apple fanboyness just a little. The hardware itself gets an A+ from me. What I really want from Apple at this point is better UX on MacOS. Stage Manager is an

The doors have been open for quite some time now for someone to build Flash Done Right. Some have tried. But they never catch on.

As a web dev who’s made good money, yes yes and yes. We often get too hung up on the technology when most of the websites in the whole world fall into a category well served by sites like squarespace.

I guess I don’t? Are you referring to the framework comment? Next.js is a great example of a react _framework_. It’s opinionated, it provides tools to make a fully-fledged website. If you just drop react into a site with a script tag, you g

React isn’t complicated. It’s not even considered a framework, it’s better described as a library! It’s a great way to templatize your code. Is it the only way? No. Do you even need to templatize your code? No.

The fact that Flutter is tied to Google is a huge reason in my eyes to not trust that it will survive long-term. I agree with others saying native is the way to go.

As someone who just started web dev management in my mid-20s, it's hard. It's hard to do _right_. It requires being able to support, build rapport, guiding but not nitpicking or micro-managing, etc. And it requires being able to w

I remember learning and using OOP in computer science classes and then going to apply it to a game I was working on. I object-ified everything! It felt like it all just made sense. Then I ran the game. And it crawled at 15fps and I wondered

I recently went in to do an exchange of a band I bought bundled with a watch and had to help the person helping me because their system didn’t understand it was a bundle and therefore had to be rung up differently. Same deal with them treat

> I’m saying paying them more isn’t going to fix the problems. I fundamentally disagree. How can we expect teachers living paycheck to paycheck to educate kids well? They have no emergency fund. They're one medical emergency away fr

The poverty line is about 15k for a single person in the US. For a family of 3, that line is about 25k. The poverty line is also widely criticized for being too low, so yes. It's hard. If you're not a single person willing to live

Take Nevada as an example. Entry Level Teacher salary in Nevada is $43,316 as of June 26, 2023, but the range typically falls between $36,172 and $52,827. Imagine living on 36k per year before taxes. Imagine making that much, being not only

Toyota staying silent has been the status quo for the automaker when it comes to EVs. Toyota makes highly reliable cars and has a great reputation in the US for doing so. But they've flubbed the EV revolution so hard it's difficul

Totally agree. I've known startup owners who were all-in on their companies. All-in to a degree that they sacrificed time with their family and friends regularly just to grow the business. I always wonder what the end goal is there. Ok

Depends on how much you save. I'm aiming for the option of retirement at 50. For most of the world, that's a very early retirement age. Anything before 65 can essentially be considered early retirement. You don't need to be 3

I mean this can be achieved with a high salary job and good savings (in a lower COL area of course).

I agree to some degree. A local business that says “bakery” is fine in my eyes. It’s the crazy billboard and flashy signs that should go away.

That dismissal held some water until we hit a point where batteries were cheap enough, high capacity enough, and there were enough chargers. We’re still just at the beginning. In 10 years it’ll all be much better

We do this at my job. Do you have any good articles that describe clearly why this is bad? On the surface I assume it’s because you need to load all the js, create the dom, and then apply css in that order instead of just having a separate
