How so? Those two together is literally agile; not as I've seen it done, but as it's intended. Learn, iterate, repeat.

I know Apple has a reputation for good UX but I think it's carry over from a different era and it's trending down. I bought my kid an iPad for Christmas and set up parental controls, then could not disable it without another iPad

I'd love to read this article but the website is cancer. I keep clicking dismiss on mobile and it takes me to another website.

Hard agree, from practical experience also. One thing will push you towards shadow dom (slots, for example) then ten things will push you back towards light dom. I don't exactly understand what the spec is aiming to solve with the way

Following "easily defeated" with "teaching everyone" gave me an audible chuckle.

Or use a checkbox and stop trying to make toggles a thing, since they just don't translate to digital as well.

Maybe with a shitty boss and a complacent environment. Help them not squint at it and make a gut decision. Why not instead ensure the objective of the report is clear, there's a meaningful target around which to hinge on a decision, an

If it helps, it's not for you. Execs can't do this themselves because they don't have the information they need, and are trying to be predictable and compete in a market. So think about it as an ELI5 exercise where you'r

Or building things that help retain current customers vs acquire new customers so sales has something to sell. The bigger problem as I've seen it is engineers that don't see themselves as part of the business, either because of th

Upper funnel/lower funnel, depending. And don't forget the future employees that take notice of a culture that would allow for such an exercise. To me, it communicates good product management, roadmaps, and healthy financials to a

You're making a lot of statements across all your comments that are not backed up and easily disproven, and you double down with more of the same so it's not particularly valuable to engage. I think with a little critical thinking

Chicken and the egg. You can't really make people not want cars without better alternatives, which requires investments that aren't being made. I want a car, because I need a car. But put in a few bullet trains and offshoots, a bu

What is it? I opened it up but it kinda throws you right in. Lots of recordings about being lonely. Is that what it's for, or was that some kind of prompt? Is it a mental health platform? Or is it meant to be more general, like a Twitt

Imagine this take on something like an enterprise SLA, that helps me reason about how at an individual level it feels nonsensical but at the parent level there are a bunch of upstream levers available to meet those SLAs.

I mean to refer to centralization as a spectrum so I don't intend to say centralization means one option. What I mean by comparing music streaming to movie streaming is that for all intents and purposes you can feel like your Spotify,

There are two options: a one time cost to remove ads ($20), or Sync Ultra which is recurring.

Hm, okay. I appreciate the dialog, just trying to understand the perspective and I think I do (still disagree, but that's okay). I thought maybe you'd go in the direction of laws or licenses being used to prohibit advertising in c

I understand that is an option, but the way you say he's profiting off free content made it sound like it should be someone's choice other than the developers to dictate how he should or shouldn't monetize. But given your res

I'm certainly not advocating for a single point of failure, but rather a monetized, competitive space that competes on user experience. More akin to music streaming than movie streaming. I think Usenet and forum numbers probably pale i

Curious how you would prefer this be resolved? Or are you just saying you would have made different decisions and it's fine that Sync is doing what Sync is doing?

Seconded Thunder. Sync will be my home but Thunder has been my hold over and has been very, very good.

You might not be wrong but I wouldn't mind seeing some actual data on the topic (admittedly have not looked). Google feels like a cheap example since their non-ads business model is to throw mud at the wall, and the graveyard is full o

My experience also. To your last paragraph, I don't quite gel with the open source nature of so much of the ecosystem. The core framework being open source makes a lot of sense to me, but the instances being essentially volunteers make

On these AI generated playlists I'll actually skip songs even if I like them because I'm just cruising through the list, then might go and save a full album from the band to check out later, in full. So the selected behavior is re

Awesome tool. Always thought about building something like this. One of my thoughts was to take all that data and distill it into a composite "trust" score of some kind, to help make decisions on whether to lean on it or not.
