The original intent is what my understanding was and why I don’t upvote reposts across multiple communities.

Just a few moments ago I upvoted a post that I didn’t “like” because the discourse on it was so good.

…There’s definitely stuff I still hate-downvote tho 😈

Still up to the site itself to decide what is “violating content”. This puts a chilling effect on upvoting and gets Reddit one step further from what it once was.

Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.

Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.

In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

One of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.

Bloody hell - I’m encouraged by this because it means that Apple’s encryption actually frustrates governments, but anyone using iCloud for storage or backups is pwned.

Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.

And the bugs were (usually) reliable, so if you found a workaround on your own or just avoided causing the bug, you would get a consistent experience.

Now it feels like each deployment ends up breaking something new.

Yeah, the convenience of everyone having internet has shortened development cycles and meant everything is shipped with less testing and is available for constant rework/improvement.

It’s really nice sometimes to admire early software because of how cobbled-together it was and would still work well-enough.

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.

You may be joking, but as long as you’re actually good at what you do, being a dickhead can be a winning strategy.

I’ve never been able to do it myself, but know many who have.

Great perspective and approach. If someone like you even has a modicum of emotional intelligence, they’d be one of the best leads I’ve ever seen.

This. Blocking communities you find annoying is the better solution.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing

The scalability is my concern too. It took me like 8 days after I signed up before I got my login to Loops.

Gotta say I really like it, though

Enjoyed this :D

There’s gonna be a Goonie’s style movie about this in a few years…

…And they didn’t care about that last part until recently…

I’m interested in it regardless of the length of an article, right?

For you, maybe, but not for me. I literally didn’t read your whole comment that I’m replying to right now because it was too long.

My attention is conditional.

Chemical weapon, maybe.
