I used to be all in on Jekyll. Now all I use is Astro + Tailwind + Claude, and it’s magic. No need for a theme with this combination.

I don’t disagree. But nobody should be surprised by everything that’s happening right now. Most people justified their vote by saying he’s either joking or it won’t happen to me or…

There’s not a lot the opposition can do. Elections have consequences and now people are gonna have to live with it. People stayed home or decided to vote against their own interest…

In the past I’ve been hesitant about Obsidian, but I tried this with my hugo site (hosted on AWS Amplify) and I’m liking the workflow. I like the fact that it creates a vault for m…

I don't disagree with you. Especially the native development limitations. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here. You just have to adjust your expectations and learn to…

Thanks!! I'm usually making this decision because I'm an older developer. I'd rather try making it on my own than having 25 year old manager micromanaging me. At this point, I'd ra…

I agree with Precision and Probability. I’m a cyclist so I care about the window of time that I’m planning to ride. I use Apollo Weather to plan my weekly bike rides. https://apps.…

I went with WeatherKit because it was easy to use. TBH I never paid too much attention to the accuracy since I care more about the big picture. I’ve used many weather apps since I …

I cycle close to 100 miles per week and a having a good Weather app makes a huge difference for planning my rides. I developed https://apolloweather.com/ after Apple announced it w…

This might be a bit of a stretch but I believe native mobile apps is what triggered complexity in web apps. The bar was raised and users were expecting performance and experience e…

What are your users saying? Especially mobile users. Are they expecting a native experience? Engineering decisions that sacrifice user experience usually don’t have a happy ending.…

I agree with the fact that it's very unlikely that I can develop a mechanical system that would beat algorithmic trading. The good news is that I don't have to. That's why I'm a di…

I'm more interested in their pricing structure. Knowing Amazon, will we see something in the line of $0.25 per repo plus bandwidth.

The only important indicator on a chart is price, and volume in some cases to confirm price. But all decisions need to be based on price action. Chart analysis is just a tool to re…

I think 40 lines of code for a controller is overkill. The goal is to make them manageable without sacrificing readability. In my opinion the data source and the delegates should b…

Copy/Paste is OK as long as you understand the code. If the code is elegant and you know what's happening there's no need to change it. I would argue that the problem is not the co…

It's official. Facebook is the new Yahoo. Buying a lot of companies at ridiculously extreme premiums.
