I think this is a pretty important perspective to hear if you are a developer. It was mentioned somewhere else here today about the craftsman vs the producer. This is a example of goals and authorship in the face of shortcuts and extended

Nice work - the map UI is smooth and easy, sites are surprisingly accurate for single scenes. Can you partner with another database to really bulk this up? Possibly even grow it a little more with crowd-sourcing with verification. More n

That reminds me of "coding" in my Roaring Spring No.20165. Which is to say, my notebook. It was great for when I didn't have access to a computer. I remember the feeling of how cool it looked along side cartoons of monster

Years...until a period of extreme stress came along. Came and went for a couple of years (along with a host of other stress induced fun) and now it's gone again.

The thrill of hunting sound is unlike anything else. Maybe 20 years ago I used a software synth to match the sound I had from tinitus. It magically erased my tinitus, making me feel like I was somehow a walking video game. Pew pew - alie

Just like working with Ai on dev projects is like working along side a really smart but drunk buddy, an Ai CEO is like being guided by a coked up business coach. In the end, with Ai where it is, I think it could maintain a company already

I'm reading /Amusing Ourselves To Death/ by Neil Postman, trying to figure out how the lessons of TV might inform the lessons of social media and specifically extreme brevity of discourse is having on society. Acker's t

That's a totally legit answer! I've heard that from quite a few friends. My personality (or something) nags me too much to do so, but I get it.

Frank and earnest question about using a company when you think they aren't a net benefit to society, especially when there are other options. I too have my reasons for thinking Goog, Amzn, and others are not good. I just don't

You got it - a very little joke. I was going to double down on a dirty chai joke, but I felt it would be inauthentic.

100% agree. It's a fun name, but it ends up begging the comparison. The look and feel of it was an instant download for me. It's actually exactly what I want and even tried / failed to build on my own for years. I'll

I've had several clients bought up by PE over the years. Usually just after my work with them refactoring for growth. It's fascinating to me to read about them having anything not go their way. Every deal was so clean and effic

Sisyphus was a stone carver. I use that idea in my game Bouldering. The joy of wearing out these stones until they are small enough to carry in a pouch - the size of marbles. Only to be given another boulder. For free. And, he gets to

There's also https://anonradio.net which is less about hacking and more just hackers with music to share. It's classic SDF-based fun.
