Apple's support is top in the industry. And it's not even that great, it's but everyone else's support is just that bad. Easily worth the extra money alone.

I found that "not interested" didn't work for me, that I had to explicitly state what I was interested in and only then did my suggestions become relevant. It will at times revert to slop and then I have to go through the p

| AI is orders of magnitude more useful and transformative than Facebook was in 2005 It better be, it's taken over 40000x the funding. The question is not whether AI is useful, the question is whether it's useful enough relative

With regard to Etsy, hand-made crafts don't scale so a VC-backed startup around them was never going to be able to resist this. Only hope would be a highly moderated and curated Craigslist-style website that was happy to pay the bills,

Understanding memory and using a debugger is hard but I'll take that over telling an AI my grandma will die if it does something wrong.

I use AI as a rubber duck to research my options, sanity-check my code before a PR, and give me a heads up on potential pain points going forward. But I still write my own code. If I'm going to be responsible for it, I'm going to

My question is why use AI to output javascript or python? Why not output everything in C and ASM for 500x performance? Why use high level languages meant to be easier for humans? Why not go right to the metal? If anyone's ever tried th

Which is why I'm more comfortable using AI as an editor/reviewer than as a writer. I'll write the code, it can help me explore options, find potential problems and suggest tests, but I'll write the code.

Could be speed/efficiency was the wrong dimension to optimize for and its leading the industry down a bad path. An LLM helps most with surface area. It expands the breadth of possibilities a developer can operate on.

Right, don't add complexity until you have to.

When building out a new app or site, start with the simplest solution like the html-only autofilters first, then add complex behavior later. It's good to know these things exist so there are alternatives to reaching for a fat react com

Of course. But people also have high uptime servers with long-running processes they barely touch.

I got the right answer but it was so easy I went in with doubt I had done it right. Which I understand is my issue to work on, but if I were interviewing, I'd ask candidates to verbalize or write out their thought process to get a sens

The Space Jam website from 1996 still renders perfectly almost 30 years later. https://www.spacejam.com/1996/ Those (document.layers and document.all) were both vendor-specific, neither were part of the w3c. I don&#x27

Dare to dream and be bold. Seriously, start a project and use only the standards. You'll be surprised how good the experience can be.

I love it. I've had a hard time convincing clients it's the best way to go but any side projects recently and going forward will always start with this frontend stack and no more until fully necessary.

No, because layers of abstraction come at a cost and we have created a temple to the clouds piled with abstractions. Any option to simplify processes and remove abstractions should be taken or at least strongly considered. Code written for

They could have better ergonomics and I hope a successor that does comes out but they're really not that bad.

I haven't run into any steps that require one, there's always alternatives. Do you have anything specific in mind?

I'm a fan of anything that allows me to build with javascript that doesn't require a build step. Modern HTML/CSS with Web Components and JSDoc is underrated. Not for everyone but should be more in the running for a modern fro

Everyone's suggestions feel designed to frustrate me. Instructions on how to cajole and plead that seem more astrology than engineering. This is the pattern I settled on about a year ago. I use it as a rubber-duck / conversation p
