Revolut needs a way to proactively notify users when their cards aren’t working. It’s so frustrating having to go to Reddit just to find out that Revolut is down.

Unless it materially moves the needle, it’s a waste of the company’s resources. On paper, Atlas Browser and Sora seemed to have greater potential than this and yet, they’ve been discontinued.

Seems like another “product” that will be killed in 6 months, but is good for the IPO so they can say they solved law.

Application developers generally don’t support outdated or unsupported OS versions. It’s only a matter of time before updates stop being released or apps start to break.

Apple killed support for three generations of Apple Watch hardware with its latest OS update: Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, and the original Apple Watch Ultra.
So much for its commitment to the environment, perfectly capable hardware is being sent to the bin.
There's literally no new features on the watch. Adding in AI nonsense.

The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (formerly the BT Young Scientist) is Ireland's biggest school science competition, held every year in Dublin.
The winners are often kids whose parents happen to be experts in some domain.
There are certainly some genuinely bright kids in the mix, but it feels a bit unfair on those who don't have parents "helping" them.

"When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them. This isn't hard, it isn't cruel. It's the basic logic of self-preservation."

"Policy at 37signals is that employees .... The difference is subtle but important; the former is how to treat responsible, capable adults"
"Openly expressing frustration or discontent with company decisions creates a negative atmosphere and undermines team morale."
A little ironic, given that roughly a third of the company reportedly resigned in the past.
I won’t be taking management advice from them, it may work if you drink the Kool-Aid, but it otherwise seems to be their way or the door.
"Values written on a page do not define culture, but the behaviors of the people within the organization do"
The same company that says politics don’t belong at work has DHH using its company blog to comment on Tommy Robinson’s march.

"Therefore, we’re asking everyone, including Jason and me, to refrain from using our company Basecamp or HEY to discuss societal politics at work effective immediately."

Regarding your link I'd question any blog post written by a CTO. This is just fodder for their next job.
"Productivity is the efficiency with which resources (like time, labor, and capital) are converted into useful goods and services"
So they increased productivity "number of PRs". Shipping more does not guarantee shipping better or more impactful features. Many orgs are constrained by product decisions, not engineering speed.
If there was so much value to unlock through AI then why did Intercom/Fin sell to Salesforce?

I’m using Eve Blinds. They integrate really well with HomeKit. They’re a bit on the pricey side, but the setup is straightforward and they’ve been very reliable for me.

It’s the same broken promise every year. All I want is for Siri to set an alarm and open my blinds. That’s enough for me. Makes you wonder how much money Apple has poured into Siri over the years.
