Re:Jack Ma defends overtime work culture as 'huge blessing' on Monday April 15, 2019 @06:44AM (#19664414)

I've actually thought a lot about China's overtime culture. It's really bad that it pulls people away from their families - Children in China are growing up with a stark absence of their parents. On another hand, China wouldn't be where it is today without it. What do y'all think?

Re:Alibaba Puts SDK Flutter to the Test on Monday April 15, 2019 @05:58AM (#19664231)

Correct me if I'm wrong. But it's possible to mix native with some Flutter + RN for laying out views right? I'm pretty sure that's what Instagram does (mainly in Obj-C but some views are in RN) and Snapchat (Flutter). Doing this would make sense when running apps on both platforms yea?

Re:There's no room for The Idea Guy (2010) on Monday April 15, 2019 @12:04AM (#19663063)

Yea. Another thing I've found is that ideas people tend to see technical ability and ideation ability as mutually exclusive skill. If you're technical and can build a product, you can't possibly come up with good ideas because you're too busy worrying about code.
