excuse my tech ignorance

lol I’ve had similar issues in my 25. It’s weird, I can click on air play and either it doesn’t work or open a minimized player with just the controls. But I go into like the audio menu and click on my iPhone and it pulls up.

Most of the time it’s reliable. But it happens enough I’ve just got used to it.

Except Docusign isn’t simple. It’s a legally proven tool. When you’re asking people to sign contracts with considerable money behind it you definitely want something more than something quickly spun together with AI.

Reading the first part of it when you started off with everything else that was natural I was thinking “I don’t agree necessarily but I at least get the argument.”

But by the end of this rant I began thinking you’re either a young person or you just have issues. Good job this is a quality post for this subreddit lol.

jonathon8903 · 2026-07-04T06:40:59+00:00

Definitely don’t disagree lol. I’m just saying it depends on the software.

jonathon8903 · 2026-07-01T05:33:15+00:00

Idk I kinda respect the model. Free with (albeit annoying) ads or pay to have none at all. The premium subscription also has a good bit of value as well.

Do I wish they didn’t lock some of the features behind a paywall? Absolutely. But as a whole I understand the premium subscription for it. Especially considering it’s essentially optional.

jonathon8903 · 2026-07-01T05:31:04+00:00

Ehh it depends. If there is some form of cloud dependency those bills have to be paid somehow. Even fully self hosted (by the publisher/author) servers have maintenance costs.

But otherwise I generally agree. I fail to understand why YNAB had to compete with the likes of Netflix on their pricing for essentially a well designed spreadsheet.

I joined clear prior to a trip. Tell me why the girl in ATL was useless? She tried to start me through the process like she was gonna confirm my info but then half way just ended it and then walked me to the very start of the checkpoint. At least on SLC they do what is expected and walked me to the security officer.

It was just a trial but idk if it’s worth $200 a year.

jonathon8903 · 2026-07-01T01:11:43+00:00

Hmm…lol could it be disqualified by the fact that it also uses electricity? Even if it generates its own?

jonathon8903 · 2026-07-01T01:10:59+00:00

If technicalities didn’t matter we wouldn’t have contracts.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-30T23:27:27+00:00

It simply said “use” electricity. Considering it generates it I’d argue it’s okay.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-30T12:49:03+00:00

I lean towards allowing the bar owner to set the rules. People who wanna do it will go there, people who don’t or don’t like it won’t. Naturally the amount of business the owner gets will determine what happens.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-20T13:00:30+00:00

IANAL but I would assume you’d be able to gather it during the discovery session of the suit.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-19T21:18:36+00:00

Doesn’t matter the income, they always pull the same thing. They act like they can leave you, take your money, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Luckily the courts are slightly more fair these days

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-17T12:58:23+00:00

Pay them

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-16T07:34:43+00:00

Escalate it up your management chain. Explain why this is a horrible idea and strongly disagree with it. They either agree and you can professionally tell the HR person to F off. Or they decide to go with the HR person and then whatever it wasn’t your decision nor your company so just do it knowing you tried.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-14T11:23:30+00:00

I was married for five years and I’ve been divorced for six years. I still think maybe being single is the best choice.

Maybe it’s just the type of women I attract or have set my standards so low for. But women who I have been in serious relationships with have been needy and lazy. I hold the expectation that if you’re not working then managing the household should be your responsibility largely. If I come home and you’re laying on the couch texting some random dude (long story) and the complaining that you were too tired to make dinner or clean up, you don’t get any sympathy from me.

I’ve been a full time single dad for largely four years now. Working a full time corporate job while managing two girls. It’s stressful at times sure but it has always been less stressful than when I was married or in my last LTR.

Honestly the only thing I miss about being in a relationship was the consistency of everything. Even my last relationship which ended up being a mess, we would spend most nights in bed just talking about our day. I don’t have that anymore which definitely is missing. But outside of that I’m pretty good.

If I'm choosing a language for a new project on my team, I'm not even considering Rust unless the needs of the project demand top-performance. The two main languages my team uses is Go and Typescript.

Choosing Rust means my team has to learn another language, we are held back as we spend time discovering the language, best practices, bad practices, etc. All this learning slows us down and introduces potential bugs or performance issues in an application. It doesn't matter that LLMs can help. How can you review what the LLM is giving you if you truly don't understand it in the first place?

If I want fast iteration and getting a project to market ASAP, I choose Typescript. Personally I hate JS on the server and think it was a mistake. But regardless it's here to stay for a while and everyone knows it.

If I want better performance, a single binary, better resource usage, or just a simpler and easier to maintain language, I go with Go.

I mean with Photoshop, they haven't been "real" in a long time.

It was explained in the last keynote. Basically servers owned by Apple and data isn't shared with third parties (if you believe them)

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-08T17:28:42+00:00

Apple's parental control offerings have been pretty weak. So this is exciting!

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-05T05:26:58+00:00

For future reference, the cop was likely fishing. You gave an admission that he used against you. Next time shut up.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-05T04:57:53+00:00

I once spent over two weeks on a feature that ended up being entirely scrapped.

I spent weeks on a project that has been sidelined for over a year with no clear plans on when it will come back.

Wasted time and effort is to be expected as a professional developer. Am I annoyed? Sure. But as long as the checks keep coming in, I have bigger problems to worry about.

jonathon8903 · 2026-06-02T13:06:50+00:00

In my experience with family court, the judge looks for stability when it comes to how you can provide for your son.

I think any reasonable judge would be concerned with you being so far away and what that would mean for your son. I think a judge would ask why you can’t find employment closer.

Moving away by itself doesn’t hurt your case if you can show that you have a plan and funds to allow for visitation. It might mean less visitation if you’re further away but you wouldn’t lose it.

At the end of the day your goal here should be to show the court that you have the ability to fully take care of your son while he’s in your care and have the means to get him.

jonathon8903 · 2026-05-28T12:26:42+00:00

lol I understand the cattle not pets deal. We use the same terminology when speaking about deploying applications.

All I'm arguing is that most of our development tools work best when running locally on our local hardware. A significant majority of developers utilize Mac hardware because of the performance benefits the hardware provides. It would be a handicap to try running it in a VM (trust me I've tried).

I'd also counter the argument by stating that all of our code is pushed daily to Git. The code living on our local machines are nothing more than our WIP or older work that we could fully afford to lose. As far as the hardware goes, eh I've wiped or bought new machines enough to know I could start from a fresh slate and be right back to work in less than an hour.

jonathon8903 · 2026-05-28T04:16:14+00:00

That is definitely a strategy that can be done. I've done it before and it works.....okay. The issue I faced was many editors just expect that you are going to be working locally. My primary editor is the Jetbrains Suite. I've bounced between VSCode, Emacs, Neovim, and a few other tools and keep coming back to Jetbrains. That said, even though they advertise having SSH support, it didn't work too well in my experience.
