Working in a park is amazing. You are still enjoying the ambience/vibe, but yeah, you're also writing a blog post or whatever. For me, that doesn't distract from the park or the productivity. They both enhance each other.
Same with a coffee shop -- this is why coffee shops have wifi passwords, because many people in there are on the internet, soaking up the ambience/vibe.
The people who signed off on this name a) do a lot of drugs or b) didn't notice because they have never come anywhere near weed
There’s a bit of religion happening in both directions. iOS has, objectively, fewer problems than Android in these regards and part of that are the policies.
It’s just not as popular to as many people.
We know that "thought diversity" on a team, which can take many forms, has a short term drawback (team gelling doesn't go as fast) and long term advantages (more ideas, better ideas, better resilience, etc etc).
Read up.
The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did <my sports team> do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.
* Sam goes to MS * Sam stays at OpenAI * Sam starts his own thing
His own thing feels super unlikely because he’s said he’d go to MS.
Staying at OpenAI feels super likely since the staff revolted. 50%? 75%?
Going to MS seems likely but maybe slightly less so. 25%? 50%?

(All said in jest)
For example, Elon Musk was smart enough to do some things … then he crashed and burned with Twitter because it’s about people and politics. He could not have done a worse job, despite being “smart.”
Or are you using it as an expression that means “this strikes me as dumb?”
Because yeah, you don’t get it, which is fine if you want to learn. There’s a reason a bunch of people think this is a big deal. Listen to what they have to say.
But no, it was a good post and the cultural expectation to keep things shorter and more buttoned up has some real downsides.
I would have written this with more punch, but, well, see above.
No, it’s just a bad idea because few people want it, and even if you did want it, you can, and even then it open a up issues of battery life, reliability, etc. we can barely get actual software makers to care about personal websites, let alone normal people. And then we want to argue people should be able to host on their phones? Good gravy.
* Instagram makes you log in after swiping a few screens
* Twitter used to do the same thing, probably not anymore
The argument isn't rss versus not rss, or logged in versus logged out. I'm arguing that sprinkling your media across multiple sites is a harder experience for readers than centralising it in one.
I have my own contribution to this conversation but I want to explain it in a big splashy blog post.
Bingo! We’ve been iterating on our story for a year, and the “let’s refer to Learnable Programming” angle felt like a huge breakthrough.
So glad it resonated with you, thanks for letting us know!
