Nothing quite angers me like using an app that recommends to me people that I “should” know.

Which means that person probably allowed the app access to their contacts.

Giving an app access to your contacts is like spreading a venereal disease. Now this app knows who I am connected to, and can probably figure out why and how. That’s more information than I wanted to give them.

Don’t give apps access to your contacts. It’s not just your privacy that’s at stake.

How many engineering orgs are adding "AI accelerated engineering" projects to their 2024 priorities, but not any projects/time dedicated to actually finishing their 200 half-completed migrations and addressing obvious developer experience paper cuts? I bet a lot of them.

But sure, throw another thing onto the pile. That'll help.

The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. Every code tutorial. Every design tutorial. Nobody actually writes out a guide anymore.

It's just "hey guys welcome to my tutorial" and watching 10 minutes of content that mostly isn't relevant...
