How can we collectively fix apps/websites that are so poorly built that they take 10 minutes and 100 taps on your smartphone just to do something that could have been done in a minute? Companies put out an app/website as the only

I've come to realize this: we are all raising money more than we admit. Whether it's from venture capital or donations to fund non-profits, money is more political than I realized because it's all about the idea of value, whi

The Bitwarden chrome extension just randomly stopped working for me the other day. This is after years of working flawlessly. I had to remove the extension and add it back to get it working...What a shame. Hosting a password manager isn&#x2

yes. I think EdTech can be helpful for learning; but having immediate access to the rest of the internet at the same time negated whatever benefit EdTech would have had. I think that's why all the data from the EdTech companies shows a

To clarify: Talk of going from iPads to Chromebooks. Because kids view the iPads as a toy to play games on.

"know the role and place your software fits in" yes! Probably one of the most important lessons of my career. As a junior dev starting out, I had no idea how my software fit into the company's product let alone into the entir

Substack has been a welcome alternative in this space as well. It reminds me of my experience on web blogs back in the 2000s. A real sense of community and substance.

Most parents I've met understand the internet can be a dangerous place for children but aren't sure what to do about it. Some avoid it altogether, but most give up and resign themselves to whatever happens. What I wanted most was

Hang in there. Yes it is possible; I do it every day. I also do iOS and my current setup is: Cursor + Claude Opus 4.5. You still need to think about how you would solve the problem as an engineer and break down the task into a right-sized

The basis of community is sacrifice. It must be. If it is all about me and only what I want, then I am alone. In any coming together, giving up some personal desires or preferences must inevitably happen. For in choosing to gather, we are c

This is a good question. Many of us work out of blind habit or to support a lifestyle we didn't consciously choose. Asking this question can lead to freedom, no matter how much money you have and no matter whether you work or not, beca
