We'll agree to disagree on that one. Feels more like a CEO trying to absolve himself of the human cost of a strictly business decision. Instead, he should own that business decisio…

> First, the people who work at Patreon are special, beautiful humans, through and through. If you're calling me "special" and "beautiful" and removing my ability to pay my mortgag…

This is so weird. I was in the process of trying to build something almost identical! Congrats, and good luck! I'll have to buy one now.

A lot of the replies to this are, predicably, disappointing. For what its worth, I entirely agree. AI is good at a lot of things, but it genuinely sucks at anything that requires r…

I don't know why XCode gets the hate it does. It's a solid IDE which I've used for years with only minimal issues. It's certainly no more or less buggy than anything JetBrains rele…

A year-long restructure, where over 1000 people could lose their jobs is beyond disgusting. There's zero justification for it. Ever.

Nice, this is very cool!

Using the Ryanair website makes me feel icky. The whole thing feels like you have to be constantly on guard not to get tricked - and I'm relatively wise to these things. I dread to…

Absolutely get in the bin with this ridiculous take from a newspaper with a vested interest in getting people back in to expensive office real estate. Juniors cost more to train, t…

Wait, I'm paying and I still get targeted ads shown to me? But I do get "super reactions"? Come on.

One of the best things I've read this year. Also one of the worst things I've read this year, actually. But also, I enjoyed reading it.

I _think_ it's the best we have right now, right? Excellent UX research speaks for itself, there's just not much of it. As an industry, we've done a realllllly good job of devaluin…

This is a distillation of what we used to (still do?) teach junior SWEs. "You are not the customer for the thing we're making, nor have you ever been. You don't know what they want…

My sister made rhythm game Otto's Galactic Groove so you should totally check that out: https://play.date/games/ottos-galactic-groove/

Ok, ok, if you give me $16M I'll do it faster.

> "Can I tell you one more thing from your X,Y,Z results which is most doctors miss ? " That's actually gross and would result in an immediate delete from me.

Oh man, I'm so entirely sick of this. Why are billionaires so allergic to using capital letters at the start of sentences? You're laying people off, it just shows how little you ac…

> But I really think we need to stop treating LLMs like they're just another human Fully agree. Seeing humans so eager to devalue human-to-human contact by conversing with an LLM a…

Turns out you're not buying the storage and compute required to store your video. Google can afford that regardless of whether you pay. They're licensing your own video back to you…

So I choose an entirely chronological one, containing only that content created by my close friends and family. Except, I'll never be given that choice.

In reality, us thinkers will have to find other things to think about. Maybe not right now, but in the not-too-distant future we'll have to find other things that make us think and…

I guess it depends on which spaces they're banned from. Before Facebook, online communities were bulletin boards and chat rooms. They weren't hyper-addictive social media platforms…

Get in the habit of tapping "Don't Allow" when apps ask for notification privileges. You don't need them. Open the app when you want to.

Being a nuisance is not illegal. In the eyes of the law, someone being a nuisance is, indeed, innocent - and to say so is not dishonest.
