You seem to be heavily involved in the PWABuilder website. Can you explain why the PWA needs to register a pushManager? I'd like to publish my app without setting up push notifications.

I actually had just read this blog post prior to posting my comment. There's a lot of good insight on HOW to publish but I didn't see any compelling evidence on WHY to publish (specific traffic numbers, etc).

What's the sense in publishing your PWA in the Play Store? Chrome already prompts the user if they'd like to install a PWA shortcut when you visit the site. I ask because it costs $25 and while I have a lot of time on my hands I&#

I've been saying this for years and suffice it to say it has been a career-limiting move for me. If any new developers are reading this be warned that these are considered dangerous ideas. Know your audience before sharing controversia

It would be nice if the results were anonymized so that people can voluntarily explain their high estimate. This is useful in highly politicized environments in which managers make fun of and pressure individual people for voting higher.

Even if you spend as little as possible and intend to leave an inheritance, you still must wonder how much you can safely withdraw from your investments, no? Simply wanting a particular outcome is seldom sufficient to make it so.

Networthify is missing quite a few features. Namely social security, pensions, annuities, taxes, capital depletion. It makes you internalize everything in your head in real, after-tax terms as if inflation and taxes don't exist. Nesteg

Can't believe this is almost a decade old. I recently tried explaining this concept during an interview and got a lot of strange looks. Most devs (even senior) were taught von Neumann architecture and assume all memory is shared. This

I'm testing the site right now on my girlfriend's iPhone 7, iOS 13.3.1, Safari. All systems are go. Can you tell me more about your phone?

It's funny you mention FI Calc. We're actually collaborating together to implement my strategy into his calculator. Here's the PR: https://github.com/jamesplease/fi-calc/pull/197 I totally unde

I'm a big fan of that series, mostly because we agree on just about everything. Especially how people tend to get carried away with 'the 4% rule', which is more than a rule-of-thumb than anything. The thing that's most d

cfiresim runs simulations. I'm more interested in solving for a specific outcome. I looked into adding my withdrawal strategy to their code but that project has been dead for years.

I'm not quite ready to open source this project just yet as I believe I possess some trade secret-level intellectual property. I might be wrong about that, so if anyone can find a calculator that can do what my calculators can do then
