I don't think the tech advances these companies made were irrevocably tied to the anti-competition practices. If anything, if we made it easier and cheaper for anyone to build on top of the things already existing, we…
I am dubious about the actual value of feedback given just to trade. You want feedback coming from people looking to actually use and/or pay, not from people who also have something to sell of their own.
Hmmm I'm not aware if the word 'custom' applies to resolvers - to an extent, you're always going to write them out as such for optimal benefit, can't imagine a non-custom one if that's what you meant. > What’s the…

A lot of the sentiment coming from non-gql people in this thread start with: "gql is impossible to X, Y, Z" which is immediately untrue by inference if you base it from how well existing companies in the wild have…
I agree, but ICs winging it have less potential negative impact compared to managers winging it.
Exactly, what merit is there to putting a manager that pushes failure onto the team? Might as well have the team itself report to senior management if one is too eager to get out of the way.
With the right team/leader, there'd be room for your inputs on the matter. Even if you find yourself in a not-so-good team setup, I'd argue there's still merit in letting your opinion be known, regardless of whether you…
> Using "clever" as a criticism is implicitly an ad personam argument, passing value judgement on the person who wrote it ("Oh, they must have written it to show off") instead of an argument about the code itself. I…
The fun, intellectually stimulating part definitely takes a back seat in priority over keeping the lights on for customers/colleagues most of the time, except in personal/weekend projects.
See, this will just cause additional communication overhead for the maintainers, too. And for what benefit, just to accommodate the behavior we see here?
I would suggest you also look at the criticisms about the book you mentioned, Why We Sleep. I'd take the book's conclusions with caution.

This is really valid criticism which not only Naval is guilty, but most of the other intellectual personas on Twitter too. I've always been interested not just in the ideas per se (which are often useful, no doubt) but…

I mean, that's standard fare these days, but going on YT with an ad blocker just to ensure a smooth, immersive music listening experience seems so... roundabout. Also, I prefer to keep the ad blockers off when I'm on…
Asking the same questions, and some more: I like the idea, and the app looks cool. I just wish there was a way to just get the audio streams from these channels and have the video constantly looping be embedded into the…
I beg to disagree. The OP should have picked a better example since they were making a sweeping generalization. If it was so, that Chrome has been turned to IE, then he'd be able to find more examples to support it.…
I've had some recent success at confronting these incidents by finding some secondary purpose or source of fun in the activity. For example, there's a company-wide report I'm in charge of curating every week. I've been…
Your comment was really interesting to read. Do you think you can unpack it a little more for someone like me who sits on top of a much higher level of abstraction?
Fair enough. A lot of these features actually just aim to engage these people and are not straightforwardly informing them of their attractiveness to the market, because that makes money apparently. I agree that it's…
