@daringfireball “One by one, the objects in our lives opened their eyes, found our faces, and began to need us.”
“Your thermostat has opinions now.”
His RSS product Current:
“Each article has a velocity, a measure of how quickly it ages. Breaking news burns bright for three hours. A daily article stays relevant for eighteen. An essay lingers for three days. An evergreen tutorial might sit in your river for a week.”
Such pretentious BS.
It is junk. His next article is comparing a typewriter with a modern laptop computer and yelling into the sky about being nagged and maintenance.
I am disappointed in this being linked to by daringfireball.
