Many in this community already know the value of framing — thanks to thinkers like Paul Graham, or through direct startup experience. This essay builds on that idea, but pushes it further. It asks: What if framing isn’t just the first step

The thing that amazed me the most with the presentation was that they never showed typing on a virtual keyboard. It seems like you need an actual physical keyboard to do any typing. The keyboard was famously considered a make it or break it

Well, a private message sent via Messenger is not personal data (PII), so is not covered by GDPR. This is a very simple concept that critics of GDPR seems to ignore or get wrong over and over again. It’s not about protecting all data. It’

To further complicate the pancake taxonomy there is also the curiosity of “plättar”. Very small pancakes made in a special frying pan for more festive occasions. Not sure about their origin, but they are very common in Småland in the south

Improved error messages is great. But one area specifically that is in desperate need of some love is the type errors from Dialyzer. They are rarely helpful to identify what is actually wrong in the code. Typically the error message will po

Art schools that teach you visual art and craft is a thing. So I don’t see why it would be impossible to teach the art of building software. We just need to change our methods.

Using curly braces or parentheses to signify blocks of code is the trivial and natural way to implement a parser for a programming language. Doing anything else requires a conscious design decision and some effort and extra complexity. The
