They spoke directly at op and you responded for some reason. Op made an iOS only app and that’s most likely why they referred to them as ‘an apple guy’.

Nobody was saying “everyone who owns a Mac Mini” or “everyone who ever has published an iOS app” is ‘an Apple guy’.

Not Tweakers!!

Seriously though. I don’t know what’s best. Taking everything down or not.. I just run a small time SaaS.

I personally started to differentiate between “agent(ically) assisted development” (AAD if you will) and “vibe coding”

The former is professionals using a tool to get shit done, the latter is hobbyists rambling stuff together that works for their one happy flow, so to speak.

This sounds like a former CEO I used to work with. Huddled an entire team into a meeting g bc he wanted an update, proceeded to talk through 80% of the meeting time.

End result: someone was appointed to send an email with the update.

If you look at the monitor, the Shopify logo fits between the thumb and index finger, I suppose that's the only small thing about Shopify, lol.

All joking aside, I don't think most of us consider Shopify as a small company. I personally hope that Tailwind stays around after this acquisition. I was there when Shopify bought Remix and that project is as good as dead in the water now.

Wasn’t that the promise of crypto currency? To have programmable, digital money?

Interesting. I would not think of age when someone requests “cleaner and more polished”. My mind translates that to “nicer UI”

Your eyes are still looking at an object (roughly?) 10cm away from your face: the screens. Your eyes are not adjusting focus. Any focus (or blur) you see in VR is simulated depth.

So yes, the issue is indeed the distance where your eyes are focussing, caused by the fact that they're constantly focussing on something very close to your face.

My optician told me its like stretching your arm while holding something heavy. At first that's no problem. But eventually your muscles will start burning and you can't hold it and even when you relax your arm it still hurts if you held it for too long.

As far as I'm aware there are no VR headsets yet that adjust the live generated depth vision based on the diaphragm of your eyes. That would be wild.

Why. This is again thinking from solely a profit perspective and revenue for shareholders. Users don’t want extra half-assed crap just because the company can scrape a little more revenue this way.

They do one thing great apparently. I know many people that cannot be convinced to switch away from Dropbox.

A happy company culture sounds like an excellent result from a great leader.

If stock owners want more ROI come do the work instead of setting demands. (i know that’s unfortunately not how the world works).

Exactly. Looking at it, it could be any generic unknown Chinese EV brand.

So you’re telling me I should sand my carbon fiber wing foil mast and wing with 1000-1500 grid sand paper for better gliding results?

I’m fairly new to the sport and never heard of this yet.

This is the main reason I’m not using Gemini for work. Google won’t let me pay for it. I pay for just about every AI service under the sun but Google needs to refuse my card, account, location or a combination of these.

But they happily take my money for a couple of Workspce accounts.
