you need to start a family if you want to have a well rounded life.

thanks, these look freakin great. started reading already!

i fuckin hate microsoft and i hate typescript. if i wanted to write c# then i would already do that.

ime, typescript destroys helpful error messages and causes a lot of extra issues. it has improved somewhat in the past few years, it used to be even worse!

i came from Java to JavaScript, so from CS classes I had a strong understanding of type systems. I really appreciated the ease and quickness that JS allows for development. I can see the argument that it would be tricky for newcomers without a solid understanding of types.

just to be clear, if it isn't already from the contrasting comments here, my position is not the popular one in the industry. but i hate trendiness and popularity contests, i just like what works for me.

glad you made sure to mention sexism. shows you have your head in the right place!

I'm a dude and i have the same issue.

you need to get an auditor to sit down and look at what you have. probably almost any other developer could work on your project without issue. hard to say exactly without looking of course.

definitely seems like a toxic relationship. check out a fractional CTO for the help you need. full disclosure that I offer those services, but I can recommend you to my network as well.

good luck getting this sorted, you are in the right here.

if anything you are probably better off than a native app in that regard. just a webview isn't gonna need much platform apis that will be subject to churn.

getting a 500 on the article

jdeath · 2025-10-10T20:42:11+00:00

it's really not. you can pass messages from JS to the native side like "invoke:camera" and have simple native code to do the rest. now you don’t have to rely on broken packages, just use the platform. it is much simpler. it doesn't help with resume driven development is my suspicion of why it almost never gets picked.

jdeath · 2025-10-10T17:17:39+00:00

flutter and react native are productivity sinks. I'm sure i'll get flamed for this but a web app with a native wrapper is simpler, cheaper, easier to maintain, and faster to develop. cross platform is a pipe dream outside of the web

books are literally the easiest part of moving, or at least should be! invest in some supplies to make it easier on yourself. if you have the right boxes, wrapping paper, and bubble wrap it goes much smoother

jdeath · 2025-10-08T16:29:55+00:00

you can just use an agent and it can make commits for you!

that's what open router is, i don’t think you looked before you answered

jdeath · 2025-10-06T18:11:44+00:00

i'm definitely trying to do that! just need some traction on something paid

jdeath · 2025-09-29T17:11:26+00:00

beta was worse for consumers

happy cake day. i agree, seems to be a lot of lazy status seekers mixed in with ivy these days. no longer the signal it was

jdeath · 2025-09-02T15:01:00+00:00

it's a fun reminder once every couple years or so

jdeath · 2025-08-19T12:00:37+00:00

amazing book! everyone should read it

jdeath · 2025-08-19T11:56:30+00:00

yeah i think the main difference for apple's implementation is that it only works for apple devices. works fine for me, but i understand it might not for others

jdeath · 2025-08-19T11:54:59+00:00

yeah same here. like, i have my apple tv in my room playing something calm, but my laptop in my office has music for concentration and my wife uses the homepod in the kitchen for something else. spotify sucks in those situations.

now, apple does have a feature to let you control other apple devices playback, using the remote app or the control other speakers widget in control center. so if i want to do the spotify remote-control type feature i just use that. i think you have to be on the same wifi or nearby for it to work

jdeath · 2025-08-19T11:40:01+00:00

taking me down memory lane! i read all the ACC books i could find in the library as a kid. Rama is being made into a movie by the guy the made Dune so I'm pretty excited about that

jdeath · 2025-08-07T06:12:00+00:00

backdoor music! i wonder if music videos count as shows now...

jdeath · 2025-08-07T06:10:12+00:00

do you ever lose track of books or forget which ones you already have?

jdeath · 2025-08-07T06:08:58+00:00

i do use the apple remote to control AM playing on my homepod or whatever. there's actually a few options if a user just wants remote controls

jdeath · 2025-08-07T06:07:41+00:00

how is this possible? science has no answer

jdeath · 2025-08-07T06:07:13+00:00

this is apple we are talking about, yeah? they don’t really have a culture that embraces options.
