I'm now several years out of a career as a web designer and running my own retail business on Shopify and so while I've always had a background in working with devs and having a vague idea of how to plan and spec something, my pre

I don't really see how this isn't just content theft at this point. Pointing at "inspiration sites" and just rewording their content feels pretty scummy at best. At what point are content creators and publishers going to

To be fair, YT Premium is one of the few subscriptions I think is a no-brainer and good value for money. Sometimes when I've forgotten to log in and see what it's like without, it's amazing anyone can watch videos on there. L

HN has become somewhere I visit daily just because of that interesting variety and well moderated content. I'm far from a smart hacker and as a former web designer turned seller of Japanese knives, I just enjoy reading varied and inter

It's been pretty apparent for me that their who focus changed a couple of years ago from "here's some stuff you might enjoy watching" to "here's the stuff we want you to watch" or much like Google ads, &qu

This is the same guy who ran that complete shambles of a vapourware project a few years back to build a smartphone right? This sounds exactly the same in that it's some vanity project under the guise of being indie or privacy focused b
