    As another Canadian (who is living in the US and working in tech), this is just naive on so many levels. Firstly, unicorn valuations does not necessarily mean innovation. There is …

    I've used Retool and absolutely love it. It's a godsend for folks like me who want to create quick internal tools without delving into frontend frameworks and code. It's very drag-…

    Lookup Marvis app. It's an Apple Music replacement UI meant for heavy album listeners, really improved my everyday music listening experience

    Look up SongShift app, might be of some use. I was able to successfully migrate my playlists out of Spotify and into AppleMusic seamlessly.

    So we're just going to pretend that Season 5 of The Wire never happened? Because that story sure stuck out like a sore thumb. My point is, all shows have their ups and downs. Sopra…

    You're not wrong about things as they stand. However, you do conveniently leave out that it was the US toppling the Shah of Iran that resulted in a religious wave taking over the w…

    I recently read there that someone waited 9 months to go through Google's hiring process. That's a LOOOONG time to be waiting around for one job offer, it's ridiculous! Tech hiring…

    Is Apple Music really crap? Their UI isn't the slickest but their service, audio quality, and music catalog is top notch. And unlike their Swedish counterparts, they aren't trying …

    I bought an Apple Watch and Powerbeats Pro headphones just for my morning walks/runs. When it works, it works like a charm and gives me the perfect start to the day. Bluetooth and …
