Just wanted to say: what a gorgeous icon, and such a Mac-ass app design. Feels like the heyday of OS X, which for me was undoubtedly between 2006-2012. Delicious Library, Toast, Tr…

https://ft.io — mostly blogging about product management.

God I hope there's enough engagement on this tweet that they actually do it. I don’t really understand why or how it’s happening, but my HP LaserJet printer connects to Wi-Fi less …

Until today, my only awareness of the term “gutta percha” was as a type of golf ball, as noted in the article. I’ve always assumed it was someone’s name, or else a nickname for a d…

When I first built my current site, it was fully unstyled like Chris', but as I started making little tweaks, they snowballed into a proper design. I couldn't help but add more of …

This is inspiring. Over a decade of commitment to the task itself, diligent blogging of the whole experience, and a website design that brings me back to my favorite time on the we…

8pt Tahoma is the GOAT and I miss it desperately. I remember vividly when Windows (XP I think?) introduced a new kind of font smoothing that messed with the look of those fonts. In…

I generate the Bookmarks [1] section of my static site from the public bookmarks in my Pinboard account. Since I host with Netlify, I've written a lightweight Netlify function that…

What an incredible achievement. Huge congratulations to the team at SpaceX! Still have chills. Anyone know whether the fire toward the bottom of the booster during/after the catch …

Other than continuously copying files to new media every so often, are there reliable digital mechanisms for long-term storage (say, 50 years)?

That hasn’t always been true! I remember with great displeasure the bad old days of creating a 3x3 table for every container and jamming a rounded corner gif into each of the four …

Cool YouTube video, but: my kingdom for a screenshot! Product looks amazing. I use Divvy but will definitely try out AeroSpace. Great name too.

Christian isn’t charging enough! This could easily be $10 or more. I still grumble every time I use the Reddit app. RIP Apollo.

Magic what? Nobody outside of a very small, niche bubble has any idea what that is. I'm in the bubble and had to look it up.

I was once an Apple Certified Technical Consultant, mostly doing managed services-type work for small businesses in NYC but would sometimes get the call to go to someone's house, u…

Longtime PM as well, and I strongly agree. PMs should have lots of surface area —- ideally, an entire product (or more). PMs should also be a lot more focused on the business’ goal…

+1 for What the Dormouse Said. Truly fantastic.

Question for the electrical/audio engineers in the crowd: could I get similar results by simply yanking the capsule out of my Yeti and soldering in the capsule shown in the video?

My Blue Yeti doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as his homemade mic. The build quality is also really impressive. What a range of skills.

Well cheers then, and good luck. :) This is insanely cool!

My kingdom for a video! Anyone have a clip of a homebrew demo (or game!) made with this engine?

Key thing I learned too late in life: don’t be too hard on yourself when you have those less productive days. It’s just part of the cycle.

I knew exactly what this website would look like just by reading the title. Absolutely perfect. Form elevated to content.

This is very poor reporting indeed. BI claims this spreadsheet "gives us our best look yet at how much the tech giant is paying" despite the data being entirely self-reported by em…
