Its a challenge to make things easy to use - whilst keeping them secure enough. The fact that all I need is a PNR to cancel your flight is insane

I think if you added a third argument of how many people don't actually care...the numbers would be surprisingly high!
That being said, whoever did build this simulation did pretty well :D

I agree with this! I think its great that you're trying to ask people for advice but honestly you want to maximise your learning from your potential customers themselves! The book 'The Lean Startup' mentions "faster learning loops" where you try to build something as fast as possible, find out whats wrong, iterate. - Book summary here: https://tdevroome.medium.com/book-summary-the-lean-startup-2...

Wouldn't it be easier if you could just have one software that by default maps certain actions to existing keyboard shortcuts...something like a one to one conversion?

This is so much fun! Brings me back to the old days where I used to spend hours on Facebook's Tetris Battle, except the sand makes it feel like a cheat code lol

What a great way to 'inspire' not just the women in Afghanistan, but women everywhere that are finding ways to break into tech!

To be honest alot of my reply was directed at the first part of it, but to answer the second part....unfortunately I don't think you'll see that 'apathy' towards issues that the Gen X / Millenials were fighting for. If anything, my generation finds new ways to get hurt about things that actually make us stronger as working career driven individuals. People want remote work, but also benefits, but competitive pay, and the list goes on

As a Gen Z I can vouch for this statement. There are so many times where I just look at what alot of my peers spend their time doing and I think I'm so out of place...Where is the work ethic?? the desire to improve.
However I can also say that there are always some good apples in the midst of the bad ones and that we aren't all that bad!

I've had days where I come to the office, go on a bunch of zoom meetings, and leave. At that point why force in-person attendance??

Why is it that the Mumbai Indians always fails to get many of the "big names" in the auction compared to the other teams? Or is it just the fact that they trust their coaching skills a whole lot more (I mean Piyush seems like a different beast this year).

Re:What's the Difference Between Empathy, Sympathy, and Compassion?

But don't you feel that sometimes Sympathy has alot of negative connotations associated to it when compared to Empathy? (Which in turn puts you in a position of dis-alignment)

To be honest, I think the level of effort that Star Wars (and ig now Disney) has put in to really expand the universe (and add more details to the same story with series' like Bad Batch or Kenobi) can be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of the true fans. Especially when compared to Marvel that basically runs the same characters / stories again in different universes as an excuse for lack of detailed writing....
