I'm literally repeating words and phrases from the talk.

Please point out my - baseless assertions - gratuitous blanket personal attacks Right now it looks like that's what you're doing, because I don't see that in my comment. Did you wa…

Lol - pointing out the elephant in the room really bugged someone

Awesome talk. Especially connecting how leaving an entrenched mindset behind applies both to architecture and to diversity in our communities. And that our meritocracies are not as…

Yeah while I think one of the hardest parts if a software developer's job (working at multiple levels of abstraction), that's literally the job. You're translating between the busi…

This says it's very either or, and I think misses the point of a lot of nocode tools. One of the best measures of tools is their composability. Can you use this for what it's good …

On small (mobile) devices, reddit is ridiculously aggressive about moving you to their app. Why? The randomly shown modal where you have to tap carefully to continue in browser is …

I could make the reverse argument: bad frontend programmers who dont use the facilities available to separate concerns create unmaintainable spaghetti when good backend programmers…

Why not firefox on mobile? Been using it for months and about as hapoy with it as firefox on desktop

Why would a tech solution change matters? I mean yeah having it all in one place helps, but it's all out there already. What else is needed to make.it actually work?

How do we feel about this with regard to net neutrality? Are we ok with the blocking they choose to do here because we agree with them ethically in this case?

There's no question sails can move today's cargo volume. But the shape of the ships doesn't lend itself to sail power. I think these sails are specific to supporting other power. A…

I don't think it's necessarily two fundamentally different personalities (unless I have multiple...which I might...) I grew up taking things apart, and I loved the courses where we…
