- Replying to @ulricmussetThere is an actual reason that nobody seems to mention here and it has to do with SMS pricing: - In the late 90s SMS became very popular in Europe and elsewhere while nobody in the US texted - It was also expensive - US mobile operators made it free cause nobody was using it -
- As a web developer this is one of the happiest announcements in a while: Google Search ended support for IE11 in its main product 🎉 (you can still search but will get a fallback experience). I'm mostly posting this so you can send it to your boss 😛. We did the Math. It is time.
- Since this went very viral: I'm not actually a super human coder. It's automation and the shades of green represent me actually doing work. I don't know why GitHub doesn't filter the automated actions for this graph. It clearly can distinguish them in the API/UI. Vercel uses avercel cto btw how is this even possible @cramforce
- Wells Fargo charges $15 for an incoming wire transfer because, as everyone knows, that is how much a database transaction costs if you use Oracle with more than 2 cores.
- Y'all realize that the GitHub contribution graph can be trivially "hacked" by a cron job, right? Right? I have made maybe 50 or 100 "real" contributions this year, but my account updates the vercel.com sitemap.xml file every 30 minutes.
You're job hunting in 2023 with this kind of Github profile ? Most newbies don't even understand how much work it'll take to actually succeed at this tech thin. - Simultaneous walk out in 8 Google offices across entire US in support of #NoBanNoWall happening now. #GooglersUnite
- Yesterday I overheard "Easy-to-replace systems tend to get replaced with hard-to-replace systems." and now I can't stop thinking about whether this is just a restatement of the second law of thermodynamics in terms of systems design.
- I told ChatGPT that I'm a CTO and now it dumbs down all the answers to technical questions so I can understand them
- Awesome, my dad's car has a GDPR popup every time you turn it on
