Or you could say it the other way around: Even leading scientists are susceptible to letting emotions get the best of them and double-down defending their personal investments into…

Same happened to me on Gumroad. I ended up with 5 or so before I had to contact customer support to merge them all.

Some people rightfully want to see what the engineering effort and roadmap is gonna be before becoming invested in it, since there's always a cost. Simple aesthetic changes and cod…

It's so you don't need an exact term, you can search for a synonym or something "similar" in concept. So more like a search engine than just a Ctrl+F in a file for a string of toke…

Learned a lesson that you only have to "spend" (forgo) $250 to cause that company $14m in losses (that you could have prevented)

Indeed the choice for me as recent as 1-2 years ago was still SVN vs Perforce. Despite only having ever worked with Git

I liked the one Pennsylvania bill introduced where subscription services have to email you that they're about to charge you again. Throws a wrench into the "was hoping you forgot a…

Well-written comment. I would love to read an extended version of this with examples, pictures, etc. as a blog post / youtube video.

Thanks. A lot of good stuff here that may go overlooked.

As with any business/product, consumers are also free to say what they think to the business, other users, competitors, and anyone else.

They are great because you can find so many problems at much lower cost earlier. And communication across domain and skill levels. Maybe their unpopularity among developers stems f…

"If you define a MAIN function, any parameters you give it will be automatically turned into CLI flags." This is actually cool

Also some apps, like the old Zynga social games, would hold you hostage, you had to approve everything (at once, not granular like it is today) to use or even install. It's been a …

Is that like Astro?

What would be the right tool for an entertaining highly interactive and animated (game-like, but still mostly text based) thing then? Used to be Java applets and Flash. Now is "web…

It feels bad to "waste" the work that could have otherwise gone into highly-paid billable hours, or at least charity work on other repos that get more use.

The thing about economics is that it's physics, with a time delay. We are seeing the time-delayed reaction to over-extension into the cloud play out, not instantly but in the downt…

I like that it's this way so we can easily compete with these dysfunctional companies. Don't fix them :)

Also you can argue that the (original) filename itself is part of the metadata. It's useful to have what it was originally called when referencing elsewhere. So where to put this d…
