It's not just obvious - it's disgusting. And that matters more than you think. - Claude

SpaceX blasting up and dropping right back where it started feels appropos.

I own it and played it. It's good, very pretty, but highly repetitive. It's one 40km track, two trains, and most of the scenery is the same. It is one step above a Unreal Engine te…

I've actually embraced the asynchronous element of AI programming in my personal projects. Playing Star Citizen? There's pockets of 5 minutes all over the place traveling from A to…

You'd be shocked at how easy Supabase makes these things. You can describe your data needs and it'll use AI to generate the table and RLS policies. You can even go a step further a…

I wonder if this benefits Framework because users can order with little or no RAM, and upgrade a later date?

Ah damn it, we invented Jira

Getting strong original iMac vibes as well, with a similar market opportunity. The chromebook / education space is awful, and a well built (and stylish) competitor can do serious b…

> It's unclear why January's security update for Windows 11 has been so disastrous. Whatever the reason, Microsoft needs to step back and reevaluate how it developers Windows, as t…

After owning a product, I've developed a lot of sympathy for the people outside of engineering who have to put up with us. Engineers love to push back on estimates, believing that …

At $500 for a large screen and CPU/GPU, my first concern would be power. This is a small company, so it's not realistic to expect iPad performance. I'm curious what the underlying …

There's plenty of games where either the setup is tedious, or some of the rules create confusion. Game of the year "Wingspan" confused everyone in my group the first time we played…

First he had to wait for the other engineers to update product on their Jira tickets.

> Gen Z don't use devices with knobs and buttons anymore, therefore we should all design our interface elements to look like nothing in particular? Knobs work as a tactile interfac…

If you're looking for more nuanced conversation here in the comments, don't bother. The title is correct, a basic brother laser printer is all you need.

I do love a site that does it's own thing with design. We've become so lazy with Medium, it's nice to see someone having fun with their presentation.

It's not font-color 3e3, it's font-red-300. That's an important distinction, because the second one respects the design system your art team spent a lot of time establishing. By us…

> We do not offer stock or options or equity in the traditional sense. Instead, we offer a crypto token. Found the catch.

I owned a couple, with peak Pebble being the Pebble Round. It was the only smartwatch I owned that understood it was a watch meant to be worn on the wrist, and not a portal into a …

Shockingly easy to get to though. LIRR to Jamaica, then AirTrain. Usually faster than a car, and more predictable than taking the A (which you have to be careful to choose the righ…

Some kind of Metro (that runs) North?

It was an important lesson for me to learn. I read "Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday, which covered a lot of these thoughts, and helped me understand why I worked. What happened l…

I'd say that's a bit nihilist. There are certainly companies I've worked for (and now work for) where there is genuine care for the individual baked into the culture, though it doe…
