> right now Yes I admit the Silicon MacBooks are pretty good - albeit losing external GPU support and max 4 external monitors. The Intel MacBooks were unusable though. There is suc…

This Intel is my secondary laptop - but give it any kind of non-cricial task and the fan is on max and its practically unusable. I have M3 Max now.

I had a 13 Pro and I thought it was too out-dated which was why my Safari was ridiculously slow, so I bought the 16 Pro...noticed literally zero improvement. Overheats, bugs galore…

Yes!!! Such great news. Apple has really gone to shit. I am confronted by Apple performance and bug pain every hour of my life. I always think: how can someone think this is accept…

If people are willing to buy my product for $100 at most, I will earn $83 pre VAT (20%). If my product costs $73 to make, then I make $10 profit, and the government earns $17. The …

Social media is rapid fire short cuts and videos. Destroys our imagination and creativity. Instant satisfaction. When we imagine things we are exploring a tree of possibilities and…

There is a big opportunity for someone to make a all encompassing blocker. I am yet to find one. I think everyone is struggling with this in some way. Anytime I get setup with a bl…

> "move fast and break stuff" But it makes me wonder how people have time to invent all this shit when they need to move fast. Learning a new stack every 2 years doesn't seem like …

My job would be so easy as long as I can debug and trace things. But modern software engineering doesn't give a shit about debugging. There are just endless layers of abstraction, …

What was the exact moment the fraud began? What should he have done instead?

Just no obvious choice like every other platform.

Easy... $`ls -al` or ls('al') And, transpile shortcut strings on-the-fly to TS code: ls({ all: true, oneEntryPerLine: true, })

We should stop using Bash, and use TypeScript instead. Bash is terrible.

Everyone bought into "immutable" "no side-effects" "one way data flow" as this ultimate goal. But never thought what the tradeoff is. And people get FOMO that they need to use a bi…

Yeh, React is a nightmare. It's too easy to build a tangled, un-performant mess.

> the first, MVP-style, attempt will be using Electron. Good choice. If you want to stick to HTML...WebView2 is suppose to replace it, but it assumes your backend code is .NET or C…

I think the idea of one programming language everywhere has sailed, for a while at least. It looked like JavaScript was going to be able to do it. React and React Native were very …

Exact same experience. Socialization is great but work is a solitary pursuit in an isolated space free from distractions.

I find FaceTime terrible. Takes 10 seconds or more to connect.

Imagine being an Amazon delivery driver. Monitoring to the extreme. Constant boring shit all day. Running up apartment stairs. Then imagine an office worker... It's a world of diff…

My point is its a minor inconvenience compared to a lot the working environments people operate in.

"get the job done" is usually poorly defined.

White collar work is not very measurable.

The biggest issue for Mac users is the placement of the `command` key on the US ANSI keyboards - which is the layout for pretty much all mechanical keyboards. And the missing left …

We are just making our way through every permutation of frontend API at this point.
