We made an Android game whack a mole. I prepared it so far that she only had to make drawing routines and click handling. I always stopped the session soon, as it requires lot of c…

Lovely insight.

"This was an incredibly dumb move, as employees will become “quiet quitters” and lose morale." Suppose you need to cut employment costs. Is this always better than firing staff? - …

How about talking it out with one of the managers. Someone you think you can talk to. Talking can immediately relieve the situation, at least make you feel better that you got it s…

Legion gaming laptops (and I guess all similar) are fast. If they can run games, they can run compiler. At least this is an issue for me, compiling server on my own laptop takes ti…

Vaadin meets all your requirements. It has some templates so you can basically make an app by just commenting stuff out.

Plans are not for reading but for writing. When you write stuff down you think about it = you plan. For others it should be enough that they know you made a plan. Unless they think…

I use as little Apple technology as possible, using frameworks like https://www.electronjs.org/ - to reduce my dependency on Apple. App Store is not unique, it is a platform copied…

This is an essential part of software design today in General. If a part of your system takes time to develope, it should be an instinctive signal to look an alternative. When all …

I am trying to cure myself with a surrogate. The surrogate is Facebook Oculus Quest VR. This might seem funny at first, but there are some advantages: while you stare at the screen…

The comment reminds me of Nokia end times. Everyone said they mastered logistics.

This article is interestingly promotes kinda flawed communist thinking about 'overperforming losers'. Most companies make 'reasonable' profits or even losses. You could say normal …

Rising standards of living seem to have correlation to suppression of religious instinct. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_instinct I had difficulties understanding religi…

They did that at 2015 already? Man... I thought it was a never thing that they got rotten. For digital service/content providers Play-stores are a must-have. For this kind of compa…

Spent last summer building a one room log cabin. In the end I wound up using makita battery powered chainsaw. You can do precision work and quickly too. I did not have any skill be…

This is the other side of the Play-store problem. The other side is the tax. Play store employee can ban your app = destroy your business at any time. The reason can be 'new policy…

"This thread is like a piñata" Cudos for having master class control of the word. My favorite punch bag are play stores, root of all evil. A list of cycling subjects that split opi…

"Besides being a dream for micromanagers, it seems to be more about signalling progress vs. actually making progress." Sounds you would like proof that scrum does not work. Instead…

It's long time ago so I don't remember well, but at least the camera was not fast (I was working with camera stuff at the point so that's what I paid attention to). It was slow, ba…

The point is, that it's not a static situation, but can get worse. I don't know what you are doing, but we are a normal SaaS company. The current situation is that we can pretty mu…

30% is not just for apps but all digital content like Spotify. Now if we see a future where Apple wins and dominates: everyone creating digital content for a living will pay a 30% …

When you put it this way, it makes perfect sense. My first computer C64 came with Basic pre-installed and that's how an eight year old learned to code. I guess the equivalent would…

It looks the consensus here is pretty much that anyone who tried the latest tech understands that we have went beyond a certain point here. Comparing to phones, I think this is the…

Right, this is the network effect behind it. There is never before experienced convenience as you buy your apps, movies, books and songs from one place, which is in your pocket. Th…
