    I know Apple has a reputation for good UX but I think it's carry over from a different era and it's trending down. I bought my kid an iPad for Christmas and set up parental control…

    I'd love to read this article but the website is cancer. I keep clicking dismiss on mobile and it takes me to another website.

    Hard agree, from practical experience also. One thing will push you towards shadow dom (slots, for example) then ten things will push you back towards light dom. I don't exactly un…

    Maybe with a shitty boss and a complacent environment. Help them not squint at it and make a gut decision. Why not instead ensure the objective of the report is clear, there's a me…

    If it helps, it's not for you. Execs can't do this themselves because they don't have the information they need, and are trying to be predictable and compete in a market. So think …

    Or building things that help retain current customers vs acquire new customers so sales has something to sell. The bigger problem as I've seen it is engineers that don't see themse…

    Upper funnel/lower funnel, depending. And don't forget the future employees that take notice of a culture that would allow for such an exercise. To me, it communicates good product…

    You're making a lot of statements across all your comments that are not backed up and easily disproven, and you double down with more of the same so it's not particularly valuable …

    Chicken and the egg. You can't really make people not want cars without better alternatives, which requires investments that aren't being made. I want a car, because I need a car. …

    What is it? I opened it up but it kinda throws you right in. Lots of recordings about being lonely. Is that what it's for, or was that some kind of prompt? Is it a mental health pl…

    I mean to refer to centralization as a spectrum so I don't intend to say centralization means one option. What I mean by comparing music streaming to movie streaming is that for al…

    There are two options: a one time cost to remove ads ($20), or Sync Ultra which is recurring.

    Hm, okay. I appreciate the dialog, just trying to understand the perspective and I think I do (still disagree, but that's okay). I thought maybe you'd go in the direction of laws o…

    Curious how you would prefer this be resolved? Or are you just saying you would have made different decisions and it's fine that Sync is doing what Sync is doing?

    You might not be wrong but I wouldn't mind seeing some actual data on the topic (admittedly have not looked). Google feels like a cheap example since their non-ads business model i…
