I have the same reaction with the "YouTube face" thumbnails.

I debate this in my head way to much & from each & every perspective. Counter argument - if what you say is true, we will have a lot more custom & personalized software and the tec…

Can't speak for this product but disabling a lot of the animations, gradients, shadows & visual effects has made Windows 11 run significantly better on the computers I have it on. …

If memory serves me right, the 2024 Energy Geek Out episode touched on this topic. https://www.dotnetrocks.com/details/1931 If I recall they touched on how US oil drilling companie…

Google has been getting this push back for the last 15 years. (That makes me feel old to remember it) Google Knowledge Graph (that sidebar they show) was hated by publishers, espec…

Cloudflare has been talking about this for a while albeit slightly different than your take - https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/

Risks, risks & risks.. That's my #1 priority on communicating estimates. Overall this is a nice short summary on the topic. The one thing I would add that I found very helpful on l…

I preferred lists as the only usable way to use Twitter, even before the takeover. I like how Bluesky has improved the functionality of your own feeds & being able to share them. I…

Thank you for making us all feel very old. Slight aside on the original post: * Microsoft did just fight off a huge government battle on Activision. I believe they lost a battle on…

To be fair they're not a great comparison. VS Code starts out as a lightweight code editor & via extensions you can turn it into more of an IDE but it'll take a lot of customizatio…

VS Code is really good at certain things but it struggles on larger projects & doesn't have near the advanced features. It's a very good choice though for a lot of projects. It's a…

As a paying subscriber I love this move for the .NET community. As a .NET dev for many years, I've noticed there have been periods of time where either Visual Studio or Rider was f…

Made me think of this old joke that's been on HackerNews, Reddit, etc for years: The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official langua…

Congratulations to Cloudflare! Stepping up as the Newegg of the 2020s! Proud to be a customer.

Underrated comment & stated beautifully. If you want a "diverse" team, having both kinds of above stated people on the team is crucial. The above mentioned A players can't do the s…

A very common modern setup is PostgreSQL, C#/.NET, Linux & using JetBrains Rider for the IDE. You don't have to go all in Microsoft to use C#, F# or .NET. Also .NET has been about …

I love how much better listening to books with AI has become. Have you done any attempts at multiple narrators telling a story? Microsoft's Azure has a great tool for doing this bu…

You might be interested in this cool app that Microsoft made that I don't think I've seen anyone talk about anywhere called Speech Studio. https://speech.microsoft.com/ I don't rec…

It's a race & unlike other bubble tech this one has proven itself to even the most conservative of people. Yes there will be tons of terrible use cases & companies built on bad AI …
