To be fair, the use of absolutes like "never" is a red flag. If the statement were "code is often not the hardest part", that's certainly plausible and debatable depending on context. The implication that coding is

IMO it's the end of the end of a free Internet. Toxic social media traffic, spam bots, hackers, and AI have taken over the majority of internet traffic a long time ago, thus the beginning of the end passed by as we slept.

I can appreciate how "building social is hard" in 2026, but is trying to be social on the internet still a worthy goal? The world has such problems with isolation and distrust that I'm not sure "online" is the solut

Agreed. Mozilla has problems, but bleeding funds from Google to fund their competition has a satisfaction factor. I'd rather sign a petition to keep the Google daddy fund going until the very end.

> Some argue that it's good to have an independent rendering engine. Here too Firefox plays no role at all. The only counter force to Google's web feature roadmap is Apple/Webkit, not Mozilla. I'd like to understand t

Imagine having someone, anyone, that you felt comfortable sharing your feelings with. Amazing. I've known my best friend for 50 years now, literally since kindergarten. One person. I probably wouldn't talk about my top 5% of priva

Whatever this means, I hope it means less censorship. That's all my feeble brain can focus on here: free speech good, censorship bad. :)

With the massive tide of browsers converting to Chromium under the hood, I wonder how long Apple can hold out. Fingers crossed they keep allocating budget for it.

I'm concerned that if Google ever stopped paying Mozilla to be the default search engine in Firefox, Mozilla would not be able to afford continued development on Firefox.

Not to disagree with you specifically, but this seems a good context to make this point: Maybe I missed the memo that we stopped hating monopolies? Every browser worth considering, except Firefox and Safari, is based on Chromium. Firefox an

Firefox is usually great for me, but with Chromium-based browsers having such a massive market share monopoly I do occasionally find a website that doesn't work properly on Firefox. But, I will stick with Firefox as long as possible.

"What to do instead of Mocking" should be more like "Enhance your use of Mocks with better unit tests and integration tests". The listed complaints sound more like problems with sloppy/lazy coding practices than act

The `security` tool is handy too. I like the ability to store passwords in the `login` Keychain and automate using them in the terminal using `security find-generic-password`. security find-generic-password -gw -l "${keychain_id}

This. I was so confused, like "Korea is not a place; South Korea and North Korea are both places, and are vastly different, so what are you on about?" level of overthinking.

It makes me think (dangerous, I know) ... I find it odd to use the term "self host" when referring to a third-party cloud. It's someone else's servers and network and electric bill, after all. Pedantry aside, yeah that s

npm is currently a security nightmare, so while it provides a ton of useful functionality it also goes to Gitlab's position on the security of Microsoft products.

I stopped watching/reading "the news" years ago, for these reasons: 1) Negativity / Tragedy "sells" better than good news 2) The facts have taken a back seat to sensationalism and celebrity worship and opinion
