They mostly help with centralising UI concerns. I’d imagine your camera app has less of that type of code and more code related to the respective camera APIs, which those framework…

It's cute but are there any actual nerds left in big tech leadership? Of the magnificent seven we basically only have Jensen Huang left as a technical leader and maybe you can coun…

Yes, it's a leadership failure and probably time to go, it only gets worse. In my experience. It's a vicious cycle where, as velocity slows, inexperienced leadership gets more and …

Yeah I think they all shed under heavy load as part of some scaling strategy.

In most trading advice, cutting loses as soon as possible and as emotionlessly as possible is emphasised heavily. It's also physiologically one of the hardest parts for people to d…

I don't shoot 120, only 35mm. But I thought you could get away with a high end flatbed scanner for 120 negatives?

In general it's a bit of a closed box, it's not that easy to work with and to me felt unreliable and difficult to debug. Running migrations can be easily forgotten and this needs t…

The developer fee is a business expense for anyone publishing software as an entity on the App Store. This is the same as any other expense someone might require for their professi…

Just a heads up from someone who's gone down iCloud sync path before. Make sure you're aware of the tradeoffs before relying on it for your app. It has a lot of downsides that aren…

Had a coworker paste an error log from a repo I maintain in Slack with an LLM summary of the log, three dot points which were written quite clearly in the log if he’d bothered to r…

There's no incentive for them to do so, so they won't.

There's a lot to unpack here but to me your comment sort of contradicts itself. You're saying these things are in their infancy and therefore not able to produce code at the standa…

You can do over 100k if you freelance but it's risky to be a freelancer in a lot of ways in Germany. Salaries in Berlin and Munich are approaching 100k or over for leadership roles…

> (e.g. marketing radium water to cure what ails ya)? Sounds like something the current US health secretary might actually like.

Yeah, also the CI queues start to get longer towards the end of the EU day as the Americans start their day.

The problem of meeting demand is in industrial use and residential heating, both of which aren’t typically electrified in Germany. The problem has more to do with an active war and…

I also do this quite a lot but pair it with an automated test to repeatedly trigger the breakpoint with different values and round out the tests and code accordingly.

> A good way to partition the complainers into serious and unserious groups is to ask for a written plan This can be good but I've seen it weaponized before by an incompetent cto t…

Don’t most of these services have config options to protect against doing this? I haven’t used most of these services but it running up a bill during traffic spikes but not going d…

> xCode with built-in live rebuild preview simulator You couldn't have picked a slower, more buggy, opaque feature to highlight here. Its useful for UI work when it works properly …

Not the OP but Monodraw predates SwiftUI by quite a while. On top of that SwiftUI is pretty bad on macOS.

Anytype responds poorly to feedback and bug reports from users, they send LLM slop back for any feedback or bug reports sent to them.

I don't spend anytime post-processing or editing apart from occasional cropping. Film gives me a better baseline for that than digital does, at least for what I want and I just pre…

I think the UX is good and could imagine it being applied well to a much better research tool.
