As is my long habit, I am signing out of social media for Lent. I’ll (presumably!) be back after Easter Sunday. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with the Collect for Ash Wednesday—one of my favorite of the Collects of the whole Christian year. Grace and peace to all of you.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Apple shouldn’t need to *trick* people into installing Tahoe, and yet its Settings > General > Software Update UI seems intent on doing just that.

Astonishing to me—though at this point it shouldn’t be—that there’s still no way to filter to unread comments on Google Docs. Just unbelievably user-hostile design.

Our tsgo adoption at Vanta has been pretty high-impact. Everything is so, so much faster now.

A very quick weekend read:

Some thoughts on software engineering and particularly the role of a software engineering *leader* in the industry. https://v5.chriskrycho.com/notes/three-theses-and-their-implications-about-software-engineering/
Three Theses and Their Implications About Software Engineering — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho

As a friend and I were discussing the industry at large.

Still over here doing a mix of paper and digital bullet journaling–lite, because I find it *so* helpful in actually helping me get things done. But why? https://v5.chriskrycho.com/notes/the-unreasonable-effectiveneess-of-writing-down-goals/
The (Unreasonable?) Effectiveneess of Writing Down Goals — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho

I try to do this every day, and I find it astonishing how much it helps me.

Apropos of a product announcement I just saw go by: folks, using Tauri and web views does not make you more of a “Native App” compared to something using Electron. That is not what “native” means in the context of apps.

Long-time Mac-aficionados over here just dying of this lack of comprehension. 😭

Quite surprised to hear that Native Instruments is insolvent. The private equity acquisition doesn’t seem to have gone well. The centralization (acquiring iZotope, etc.) was bad, too. I’d really love to see us get out of this cycle! But it’s obviously going to be a messy few years ahead /w LLMs etc.

Tell me you were a Windows app first and are don’t know what things are on the Mac without telling me.

(It’s the *Menu* Bar.)
