An altimeter or GPS elevation readings and a peak finding algorithm might be more reliable.

> I could give two shits about the "public health crisis". People have agency, they can choose what to do with their lives and their money and I'm okay with the reaping and sowing lining up together.

"I could give two shits about the "public health crisis".

Have you thought about this for longer than a fraction of a second? Hope you don't bother to use any of our public education, health care, or other support systems.

Addiction to drugs, alcohol, and gambling is expensive for all of us in Canada.

> Wayne Gretzky is dead to me because of his support of these ads.

This is just the latest in a long line of shit "The Great One" has done to be an embarrassment to Canada.

This can easily just be gentle ribbing where the juggler and "critic" are familiar/friendly enough that the juggler understands the dude respects his juggling skills and knows the critic is just making friendly banter when he sees him making more frequent drops.

Great book. I really enjoyed the audiobook version which is narrated by the author.

The cadence and wording sure reads like AI to me. OP, personally I find this really off putting and does not make me want to learn more about your app.

> Software has been transitioning from a craft into an industrial process for the last two decades or so

This seems like a good insight and it feels true to me as well.

My guess is the absolute number of people who treat it like a "craft" is higher than 20 years ago, but as a fraction of all developers it has shrunk dramatically.

I assumed it was AI too

"All of this happened over text—not an organized workflow system, but good enough to handle a weekend’s worth of work, one weekend at a time. For a moment, the business worked. In reality, this was the easy part."

And

"The logo was the Boston Celtics logo. The problem? It’s not a minimal, modern logo; it’s a detailed, hand-drawn image from 1946."

have a pretty AI like cadence.

edit: No shade to OP....I'm glad it's not AI, but I'm sad my default is assuming AI now :/

House was also a wonderful read. In many ways I enjoyed it more than SoaNM due to the parallels with software development but in a completely different domain. Building a house is remarkably similar to building an application.

His whole catalogue is fantastic really. Definitely a favourite author of mine.

> a job that wasn't that hard to begin with

The more experience I get the harder the job seems tbh
