How ironic that Daring Fireball, with its eternally drab background color and microscopic font size, is endeavoring to criticize Apple's icons. No doubt Apple's icons have worsened, but Daring Fireball is throwing rocks from its

I'd be willing to bet that 95% of my "followers" on Twitter are bots. So I get near-zero engagement, or engagement that is worth zero.

I hope what you describe will eventually be true for me, but so far the purported benefit of not jumping around isn't being realized. After 5 weeks of using Tailwind every day, I still have to switch between my file and the Tailwin

My kids watch everything with closed captioning on (ages 10 and 7)! I think now I know why, and it's my fault: I used to always tell them to turn the dang volume down. I guess then they couldn't hear the dialogue, so they figured

I used Dgraph as the primary data store in a production app for over a year. I really enjoyed thinking of our model in terms of a graph, and finding creative ways to query what we needed. The biggest pain point for me was the query language

Part of the problem is that ordinary users have no clue just how much the app actually costs to develop and maintain. And how could they? I worked on Socrative for several years (similar to Quizlet), and we had backlash when we introduced a

This explanation resonates with me. I first saw Ryan Dahl's talk about his Node.js regrets[0] during the early days of the pandemic. I thought I'd be eager to try Deno when it became more mature, but I still haven't tried it.
