Imagine how good it would be if you would have unbolted it from your IDE experience from the beginning.

Convenience frameworks are one of the biggest foot guns I see in android and web. It is promised as a velocity boost, and people stop learning the basics and instead learn the framework; which works mostly, until you have to actually debug something.

Got some of the N1 #Nerf toys for my son's birthday, and I was disappointed to see that these aren't the toys of my childhood. I remember battles behind couch cushions, with foam darts. These are more like real bullets, and they hurt. Maybe I'm just old but, this wasn't the fun I hoped it would be.

These pancake flat sprinter stages are a real slog. #TourdeFrance

I think they should do less of this sort of stages (Stage 3) and more punchy stuff (like Stage 2).

Everyone in the peloton knows its a sprint finish and it's like 180km with very little interest in the race other than the scenery.

Nasty crash, but not really anyone's fault. Just a victim of circumstances.

Classic corporate move to buy out Eurosport for the #TourDeFrance, charge users £30/mo to watch the race, and then kill the ad free stream.

This is why we can't have nice things, these broadcasting conglomerates are allowed to pay millions for exclusive rights, and then have to recoup their costs.

My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts My smartest friends have bananas arguments about LLM coding.

Nice take.

As someone who is/was an AI skeptic, I do think think these systems are useful, just like a text editor is useful for writing code, a tool that combined with judgement and effort. It is not a solution all by itself.

It will completely destroy a lot of developer jobs though.

Rosetta technique is making some progress!! Probably my best one yet. #coffee

Crazy summer thing my wife just pointed out to me as expats living in the UK:

Packages of hot dogs and hot dog buns contain the same amount.

Been working on pouring a Rosetta pattern, making some progress, I think. #coffee

Long overdue, languages should support a variety of development environments.

Brian Chesky Lost His Mind One Night—and Now He's Relaunching Airbnb as an Everything App Airbnb's CEO is spending hundreds of millions to relaunch his travel company as an all-purpose service app. Fitness! Food! Microdermabrasion? A WIRED exclusive.

In my mind, this is exactly the problem with current tech / founder / startup culture.

Airbnb already has its problem to solve, but somehow its not enough. This sort of expand our offering is such typical MBA non-sense.

Execute well. Stop trying to boil the ocean.
