This thread is replete with ad hominems, mind reading, and speculation ("admit it, Musk's bid for Twitter was to unmuzzle Trump". No proof offered though). I'm okay with Musk. If you're not, fine. Why the need to co

This is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the milk" does recurring correctly and is very low fric

Totally share the love regarding container tabs. I don't, however, like how the UI/UX is implemented. In particular, the management of containers -- why do I have to dig so deeply to add new containers? Also, as a color-blind per

I've worked on several (poorly designed) systems where the SSN is used as a primary key. In itself, the SSN is not for identification, but as a primary key, it is used to aggregate tons of data about a person. Just think of the scores
