Re:Leaving Tech on Monday October 19, 2026 @10:13PM (#50160534)
One day a deer friend, and brilliant engineer, called me. He asked if he could come see me at my office in San Francisco. Surprised at what this could be I simply said yes. He arrived, we chatted. He showed me his plane ticket. He quit his job that day, and that evening he was flying abroad to become a monk. Haven't talked with him in a decade. Hope he is doing well!

They would benefit from a HackerNews-esque karma system.

Re:Waymo announces Miami as its next ride hailing city on Thursday December 05, 2024 @03:51PM (#42332612)
Why do I feel like a regulator would immediately file a suit for $1B+ if Waymo did this?

Pretty incredible that Rails World 2024 sold out in ~20min.

So, you’re telling me Twitter engineering was over staffed…
Ahh yea, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of crime, violence, decay and grift by those enabling it.

A person can be both ‘rich’ and want better for the community they choose to be part of.

Re:What Comes After Zoom? on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @12:30PM (#37051593)
Agreed.

Also, who thought it would be a great product improvement to update as you are launching a call?

In addition, a few more things that suck about Zoom:

- No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen

- When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.

1 click on/ 1 click off. Just be simple!

Re:Maker's schedule, Manager's schedule (2009) on Saturday June 24, 2023 @09:41AM (#36458616)
The article suggests that makers tend to take on ambitious projects that take large blocks of time to complete. This is objectively true; even today. Most of what is built is ambitious or takes large chunks of time.

Editing some text or repositioning a button or something trivial is 30-min and does not require thought, but most everything is not this. Most everything involves large chunks of time and interrupting this chunk is certainly a disaster.

Re:Maker's schedule, Manager's schedule (2009) on Saturday June 24, 2023 @09:37AM (#36458579)
Most meetings can be done async with a few bullet points. So much time wasted on idle talk that is not productive.

- both a maker and manager

Gemini (earn) posts new Master Loan Agreement with Genesis

As part of our recovery efforts, we have entered into a new Master Loan Agreement (MLA) with Genesis. The only difference between the old MLA and new MLA is the dispute resolution provision. We have determined that a different arbitration forum — National Arbitration and Mediation — can better streamline the resolution of any potential dispute so that we can maximize our efforts to achieve a...

Re:Wells Fargo to Pay $3.7B for Mistreating Customers on Tuesday December 20, 2022 @10:59PM (#34076474)
When is Wells Fargo not mistreating customers? I feel like every few years it's another Wells Fargo story.
Incredible timing

Re:Remix web framework aquired by Shopify on Monday October 31, 2022 @12:16PM (#33407916)
FWIW: Tobi mentioned that if he had to do it all over again, he would still build the admin and business logic of Shopify in Ruby on Rails, but would probably build their liquid rendering in Rust or something like it

Re:Tailwind CSS v3.2: revisiting my “feature creep” warning on Saturday October 22, 2022 @12:14PM (#33299555)
Upvoted.

OP seems to miss the point that most everyone - or at least everyone I know - that uses Tailwind already knows CSS to a large degree. In addition, everyone I work with would rather spend time writing code than messing around with CSS and trying to name classes (great point you make, and I fully agree)

For the low price is just $89, you can sit in a seat in the quiet section.
