A single individual should not be able to override a set of core committees in a public open source project. Fork WP, and cut Mullenweg out of the loop.

Teams have been building services like this for ~20 years. They very rarely stick. I agree that it’s still too hard, but the market has historically been too small. It’s at-best a …

Terraform/OpenTofu provider which provides functionality as Data Sources (for older Terraform), Provider Functions (for OpenTofu and newer Terraform), and as a Go library (for an i…

Unless I personally gave you my work email address, you can f*k right the hell off. Buying a list of email addresses off the internet that has mine in it is top-tier shady.

1. If you have $800 to spend on an emotional support robot — OR you’re dumb enough to spend $800 on an emotional support robot, I don’t see this as a big loss. 2. Never spend money…

People hate Windows, but won’t stop using it. Everyone gets to make their own decisions, I suppose, but let’s all tell the truth about what’s happening here.

Ones that are highly complex but poorly documented.

I used to own an API service at work, where we worked hard to ensure that the documentation was of a very high quality. When I got promoted and moved to a new team, I'd warned my m…

So much this.

As a founding, but former, member of the SDK team: can confirm.

I’m not going to answer the question as-asked because its core premise is flawed. Instead of looking to disable 2FA, look to speed-up providing 2FA codes. Most passwords managers s…

This is what Google’s and Apple’s (and Nintendo’s, and Microsoft’s, and Sony’s) cut covers. They built the platform, the system, provide straightforward billing, provide the “shopp…

As an aside, can you explain to me why Cloud9 has never worked correctly in Safari? The cursor positioning in text has been messed up for as long as I can remember. AWS has never f…

This.

Same here. I think what I realized is that coding is not a thing . Rather, it is a tool which enables you to do other things . About 13 years in, I pivoted in two interesting ways.…

> In my opinion (others will disagree), the vast majority of CS concepts are not very useful for most software developers. I don't think you should feel bad about that. I consider …

I’m a dual citizen of Canada and the US. But I also know that if there’s a language selector, and I see the British flag, I know it’s gonna get me English. Perfection is impossible…

False equivalence. A better example would be having the confederate flag. Except that the confederacy being dissolved is already a decided issue at the national level. (Also most A…
