A super tight mobile os. Search, Maps. Excellent developer tools. Long term vision. This 10+ year android user is disappointed recently.

Sorry babe, they left already. It gets worse before it gets better. At least SF has better geography than Detroit
I'll never forget my time in SF. Like the time I ruined a pair of sneakers stepping in a pile of human sh*t. Or the time I saw a young woman fleeing from a bum chasing her down the sidewalk. Also the spoiled bougie girls arguing over who could more easily talk their way into The Battery. Peak SF was 10 years ago.
I'm pretty sure democracy is just another layer of control in the Matrix

Re:Ask HN: Do you have to use LinkedIn to get hired? on Wednesday January 12, 2022 @09:38AM (#29906820)

Y'all are overthinking this. The answer is "Do Not Identify". Your vax status is between you and your doctor.

There is no spoon. Just a hash of a jpeg of a spoon on a blockchain.

Yet further proof that one man's "insane" is another man's "totally reasonable"
Scrum doesn't matter. Are you working for someone that can do your job better than you? Are you learning new things? If not, go somewhere else.

Cheap, renewable, flexible, durable. You can put nails and screws through it pretty easily. K.I.S.S. Also... cave shortage.

Give it time. Gen Z is ghosting Facebook and the next generation won't want to be able to be tagged in all their embarrassing baby pictures
