Thank you for having one of the few reasonable takes on the Vision Pro. People also forget how bleak the iPad app market was for the first year or so. They also forget that VR has …

I think you're appreciating (what I also appreciate) that the chomp, ghost bite sound, and death sounds are all in the same tempo/bpm, so that when things happen it's in "rhythm" I…

Fair point... and maybe more a 'marketing' lesson than a 'persistence' one. None of the previous posts are particularly appealing to me.

Oh. He said "Developer API", not the "Developer API Docs." I believe he meant all of the countless bots and apps and "remindme" etc 3rd party functionality that developers have add…

Confession: I use it constantly. The thought of having to look up how to do absolutely everything makes me wince. I am -genuinely- open to suggestions on how to get over that I jus…

That's SUPER interesting. We should form like Voltron. But also I wonder if that's a meaningful 'heuristic' to use both in analysing ones own performance but also in coaching other…

Oh sure, all the time. But that's always a bit wild-west, since I'm more or less doing it for fun, then my approach is always "Well what do I want to do, emotionally" so it's hard …

Oh. One other thing. I tend to go backwards. UX first. Then API. Then whatever fuels it. If I go the other way around I -inevitably- forget some stuff that is crucial for the front…

Not sure if you care about validation. If not skip to 2. 1. Anybody want it? First I pitch the rough idea to a few paying customers. If they are lukewarm on it I set it aside. If t…

Jason Cohen is one of my favorite people speaking in this space. Here’s a great, actionable, talk he did at the equally informative Rob Walling’s conference. https://youtu.be/otbnC…

I'm somewhat surprised that the PR team here managed to avoid using the word "Russia" a single time. I'm curious what the general consensus is as to why they would do that? I doubt…

I’ve helped a half dozen people with this. One trick is to just keep a notepad by your bed and first, first, first thing try to write down what you remember from your dreams. My su…

I reread my post several times and couldn’t find the section where I suggested that the solution is to “restrict artistic expression” so I stopped reading your post beyond that as …

He’s not obligated to at all.

The number of people complaining about “woke culture” are statistically disproportionately members of groups that are not traditionally insulted in media. Furthermore, this “take” …

"MONTHLY" Every ~3 weeks I print a ~3 week calendar with just 'one word' goals for that day. Double sided. If a project can't be subdivided I just repeat it. M-F of this week was j…

Just saw this on my twitter feed, which gives the impression that the conception date of the children could possibly affect it. https://twitter.com/jenvcampbell/status/138660232283…

It wasn't really always the case. If you scroll back, so to speak, a generation or so, the further and further you get, the less necessary it was to win the trifecta of being Attra…

I agree with you, as far as the dual layers of communication. The general feeling I get is that that's precisely why Pixar is a preferred studio over some of their competitors in t…

I would be curious to see your list of movies, primarily aimed at children, where there are two protagonists who disagree in the beginning and don't end up reconciling in the end. …

Sorry for the late response, I just mean to suggest that it's pretty clear to me that your average software developer reaps the benefits of his work, day to day, on a higher percen…

Not touching the whole heft of the argument, I would like to point out that the original poster didn't compare the difficulty of writing a hit song to a "hit app", he compared a cr…

My hunch is that if this information is used against you, you'd never know. First scenario that comes to mind: The insurance company that gives you an extremely high quote because …

Lately I've been looking for data sets like this. I was hoping to do an analysis of citations, related to race, related to race of arresting officer, all against the backdrop of th…

Because there's not another marketplace where you can, with some effort and very little actual innovation, turn a $5,000 investment into a six (and sometimes seven) figure a year r…
