I'm also an Apple Vision Pro owner. I don't see it as a flop and here's why: The first Macintosh was, inflation adjusted, double the price of the Apple Vision Pro, and they shipped…

I’m 51 and I’m healthier than I was 20 years ago because I improved my nutrition and started moving my body on a regular basis. I go to the doctor about once a year for a physical …

One of my co-workers is trying to use one of Microsoft's low/no code platforms to do something with CRM and it's taking her months. I could've built something with code in signific…

When I first started, I was rarely hungry in the classical sense. Instead, I knew I was hungry because I would suddenly get tired. When I ate, my energy almost immediately returned…
