Was surprised this comment was this far down. I re-read the YC ask three times to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Dude wrote the whole article based on a misunderstanding.

I wont mention what company, but where I work we've spent about 6 months now with an entire dev team hammering their heads against a wall trying to port our extension to MV3, becau…

I’d like to add RockAuto as a peer to McMaster. It’s auto parts, and somehow uglier than McMaster, but damn if it isn’t the fastest no nonsense website I’ve seen for parts. I can d…

I'm totally fine with good enough if it keeps Google in check

Exactly this

Admitting I'm wrong or that I screwed up, and likewise praising others when they're correct or have ideas I agree with. You would not believe how much smoother everything at work i…

They've yet to master their own 10nm process let alone 7nm. I don't doubt their processes outdo the competitors on actual die shrinkage but they've been having a hell of a time of …

That's more or less what Steam Greenlight was and one reason why I love it even if it goes by a different name now. I can pick up something interesting, play around with it, and th…

I feel like Apple's approach to UI/UX is one half care and consideration for the current user and the rest is "training" for whatever they intend next. The design world at large ga…

Performance and quality is something you can mentor. I work my ass off to make sure my devs have a plan to get better at their craft and learn from others. If they're not doing wel…

I wrote code like a madman and then went into management. I like management, but I understand what the author of this article was getting at. I had an identity crisis early on doin…

This starts out well outlining the problem then ends abruptly with "use this magical third party service to make your problems disappear" with no insight into how it's solving the …

It's more nuanced than that. Nvidia can write the drivers but releasing them without the blessing of Apple blows away any chance of them getting that sweet GPU contract back. Nvidi…

Anyone interested in this kind of local control should check out the Home Assistant project: https://www.home-assistant.io It allows you to corral all these IoT devices through a m…

I love reading about stuff like this. There's something magical about having an inspiration fire so hot you can't put it out without 6 hours of hard coding at an ungodly hour.

Has Intel just outlawed any review website (gaming, enthusiast, etc) from ever posting benchmarks of their CPUs again? I feel like they didn't think this through.

I went to reply to the parent but you just nailed it. Microsoft isn't after your open source project git user here, they're after the multitude of companies that are heavily invest…

There's no real alternative. You buy an iPad or Amazon tablet, and you get either iOS with the App Store or Amazon's weird Android fork and it's Amazon centric ecosystem. Google is…

The weird thing about the notch is that it's really obvious that Apple made a compromise due to constraints. They're likely to do some next level technology investment to get rid o…

I think it was a battle in the sense of "Amazon made Walmart pay a shitload and the Flipkart founders wanted the safest possible route to close because holy shit dat money"

YES. Robbie for construction, Torx and Triple Square for cars. I've never had a problem with those three. Philips, Posi and Hex strip like crazy.

Find a better place to work. I'm not sure what environment you're in but security and privacy would be an extremely valuable superpower on my team.

I've felt imposter syndrome badly before, even while I was climbing ranks and getting excellent reviews. Now I manage developers and, while not a cure, the best I can do is constan…

As someone who worked as a CTO at what I like to call a "zombie" startup I agree with the poster above me, and it hurts just to recollect the history. You can keep this shit up ind…

I'm not sure it's fortunate coincidence, seems like Apple chose this path. As for greed, well, they're a corporation. That's a given. They're driven to profit by their very nature.…
