This is why I stay at a company that’s 100% remote even though I’m sacrificing many thousands of dollars a year in additional income. I just can’t go back for so many reasons. But the most frustrating one in my opinion is exactly what you s

Interesting! I wish Apple would expand on "Assistive Access" mode. - https://support.apple.com/guide/assistive-access-iphone/set-... They made this for people with cognitive disabilities, but it also wo

YES. I love the examples here. The best one to me is the row background color transition on hover. It's painful, it feels like the UI is sluggish, when it reality it was someone going a little too hard on animation for no reason. Too o

I recently hired a senior who left their previous company in large part due to them not hiring juniors. A huge part of being a senior is supporting the growth of junior/mid-level engineers. I agree, I think any company that stops hirin

Did you read the article? What is your answer to the points the author makes around flaky tests/changing business requirements/too many tests confirming the same functionality and taking too long to run?

As someone who's converted (unintentionally) a few people from Windows to Mac machines, I will say for most people there's less barriers these days. Lots of people use these machines as glorified Chromebooks anyway. So it really c

I’ve interviewed dozens of people and while I rarely do system design questions and our process isn’t nearly as check-all-the-boxes, it’s funny how accurate your comment still is. Near the later stages especially, politics starts coming in.

Since when is 5k a couple? Volvo is selling these while companies like Tesla are cough asleep at the wheel. I think the article mentioned 140 Tesla semis sold.

I agree with those saying this feels like a step back toward skeuomorphic design for Apple. I personally think it looks nice visually, but I do have some concerns: - Accessibility. I don't see good examples in their promotional videos

While shortcuts are cool, I think the vast majority of people never use them and don’t even know what they are. Normies want to download an app and let it ride.

The fact that they left these packages public on GitHub.. guys you do know you can make things private right? Just shows how dumb these people are honestly

It's funny, this post just got flagged. The shift from past popularity to apparent suppression is interesting, but without concrete proof, it remains speculation. Still, the frustration about opaque moderation resonates with me.

Agreed. There is no secret sauce. Some people are good at painting a nice picture of their life for others but sometimes they struggle the most. If you are trying to do more and do it better I think most people would be shocked how much con

Oh interesting! The original article linked in the post really skips over all of those details and makes it seem like he sold the company for 250 million

If you think the luddites were attacking the hardware because they were afraid of technology you’re mistaken. Please read the article I linked, it explains how the luddites’ motives are completely misunderstood by most people. This misunder

Again I really hope you read about the luddites rather than draw conclusions from surface-level observations of them. Not only were they essentially one of the first organized labor protestors, they also protested against the poor quality o

I've hired a couple of quality developers from bootcamps. Especially if you're looking to hire Junior devs, I highly recommend keeping an open mind about these bootcamps if you're a hiring manager. I went to a 4-yr university

Very sad, just a reminder that success doesn’t translate to happiness. The podcasts that came out of HSW.com have heavily influenced my life. Especially Stuff You Should Know (still a top 20 podcast but no longer owned by How stuff works. I

This is already extremely common. For example, my TV uses some sort of Roku-branded OS. They literally have ads on the home screen when you first turn on the TV. It's something I've struggled to work around, and eventually gave up

Ultimately what you’re doing is scalable for most use cases. You can even horizontally scale that setup on the fly to mimicking what you would get from using next in a serverless environment.

I'm one of those millions of people that joined Bluesky in the past couple of weeks. It's.. great. At least the feed I have feels very early-2010s internet before all the hate and weirdness. This may go away as others join but it
