In practice, the prototype stays around forever

“Computers are useless. They can only give you answers”

Good thing they “don’t do evil”….

It’s 2025. The penny has been retired. Can we stop pricing retail gasoline down to the 1/10 of a cent?

Is anyone still fooled by price labels ending in “.99”?

Agile is merely a fad justified by a straw-man argument

Can I get a goth AI assistant?

It’s 2025 and there still isn’t a one-button solution to spam calendar events

The “cumulative” concept is a myth, perpetuated by the modern school system, which is addicted to structure for structure’s sake.

I prefer to think of it as a spiral. As you learn, you pass through different topics as necessary. Then you go around again and see them in greater depth….Rinse, repeat.

Anyone else notice meta-owned social media apps trying harder to get your attention?

I’m getting badges on the app icon (ala “unread count”) for notifications in the app like “this person that you follow posted a picture”

I don’t need to be alerted about ordinary events
