Eh, in this economy I think it's fine to request contribution, either material or monetary. Also once every two months or so is pretty decent, cheers to you

Good thing it supports swipe then

I welcome this kind of innovation in mobile UX. It's absolutely refreshing!

This format probably resonates with somebody. But I learned how to write outlines in school and that has worked for me.

I really enjoyed this read, as I am starting to grapple with some of this now. Do you have any resources for learning more about this stuff and these tradeoffs?

Just latent, never suspected a thing.

I forgot to mention my experience was in the northeastern USA in the 2000s-2010s. I’m happy you got a better standard of care than I did!

I am glad they’re screening for it. I was born to someone who had the virus, but didn’t know I had Hep C myself until I submitted myself to an exceptionally thorough STI testing panel. I say exceptional, because the standard ones I’d done throughout college and early adulthood do not happen to include that particular test. So I feel a bit lucky to have been able to get diagnosed and treated in my mid-20s, before the disease could do much damage.

This article I came across last month on “Framework-agnostic design systems” happens to use this Elena library and I think explains its use case well: https://piccalil.li/blog/framework-agnostic-design-systems-p...

They’re hiring software engineers!

I recently learned whiteboards can also use wet erase markers. This has the benefit of not getting utterly destroyed if you graze it slightly.

I refer to the documentation like my forefathers did. But I do happen to work with a language with good documentation (Elixir).

This attention to detail is what separates the mediocre frontend devs from the rest. How the heck do I improve our hiring process so we get more of you!!!

ACE 4, raised by my grandmother and alcoholic drug addict mother in the projects. I made it out only because my aunt gave me a handmedown PC when I was 13, I lucked out into a magnet high school, and was granted admission with full financial aid into MIT (and was somehow able to graduate in 4 years). Grateful for it every day.

After I birthed my first kid in my early 30s at the start of the pandemic, my struggles with depression and anxiety seemingly vanished.

I've always been very risk averse, so I fear I'll never be able to start a startup or something like that. It's always sounded fun. Now that I'm very stable and well, and ok financially (the house cost way more than I'd like)... it still feels too risky for me to leave my normal job. Maybe I'll try in my 40s...

> Have you personally noticed any downgrade in your experience yet?

Longtime One Medical customer here, it feels the same good experience to me.

I recently watched a documentary[0] about the social media dangers for children. It mostly centers around narratives & interviews from a variety of people young and old, and in my opinion decently avoids trite pearl-clutching over vague assumptions about 'technology' or any particular company. Among other things, I am a bit floored by how much child suicide has increased over the past decades.

At my last conference I got a (unfortunately unbranded so I don't even remember who it's from) spinning top, my toddler loves watching it go!

Having grown up in the bottom decile of poverty in the USA I can believe it. I credit my childhood's stability for much of my success in life. Sure my life, especially at home with my family, was broke, boring, uninspiring, not the least bit enriched... but it was incredibly stable thanks to living in public housing and being on welfare. It's much easier to find your way out if you don't have to process and respond to chaos :)

No one is prohibiting Alice from building the 10-story parking structure. The change is she's no longer required to build it.

This was much nicer for me to digest compared to the original post, thank you for sharing!

Noise canceling wireless earbuds. I’ve had both a Jabra and a Beats… very happy with both. Nice for blocking out noise. No messy cables, can use with any device…

I was skeptical, I liked my corded headphones fine. Just turns out these sound better and are way more useful for me.

I try to push for making websites without JavaScript but nobody wants to because it requires some forethought. TIL Amazon has a functional no-JS version, amazing!

Many apps with moderate interactivity don’t need thousands of lines of JavaScript. And using a backend framework for templating is not mutually exclusive to using a JS build system for helping transpile files and purge CSS and such.

Right on.

Related, the junior FE devs want our web app to be a SPA because they think it’s the only idiomatic way to write reusable components (think a JSX-written React component). Often they’ve never used anything else (so like TFA mentioned, for them it’s not an open choice).

I hate that my job these days has to involve counteracting this notion, probably looking like some weird Luddite in the process, for simply highlighting the same points from TFA.

> React is still a good tool for writing MPAs, if you can get your team to stick to it. But unfortunately, if you aren't careful, React has become an infectious disease and slowly eats your whole frontend, even where it's not necessary and in fact, counterproductive. Pages which initially had a component or two, slowly are completely rendered in React, and when this happens to enough pages, someone starts wondering why your site isn't an SPA.

This started happening to me this year. And all the other senior devs who know better happen to be gone from this project, so I'm alone having to convince these junior engineers (working on a very large non-JS-backend web application mostly with content pages!) that SPAs are not the ultimate solution to all. It's so frustrating.

> business incentives work more strongly against reuse because the higher ups can actually see the work that is being shared

Can you talk more about this one? I think this is getting at something I've seen but have been unable to articulate thus far.

excuse me, what? No, if I need to walk through late at night, I want to be safe. You have some options: - put the bedrooms away from the street - invest in some curtains - live somewhere more pastoral???
