Plus Shopify and GitHub must drive most development of Rails so it’s basically an in-house dependency to some extent. I know that’s simplifying things.

Users care they just don’t know why many modern websites are bad websites. Every website is now an app whether that actually makes it better UX or not.

In some countries what you read may be sensitive info for many people.

Touch screens and gestures for one thing.

Time Machine + SuperDuper! clone + Backblaze + Arq (to S3 Glacier). I'm ready for meteors, bring it on.

I have to fly or take a ferry to get to an Apple Store. There isn't one on Vancouver Island. So it's great when you can get to one, but if you can't the support is not so good.

Please put dates on things that are published. It can be important information for readers. Leaving off dates is frustrating and doesn't make the content any fresher in any way.

I have the fastest upload available in my area (5 Mbps) and my initial backup may have taken a month or two for something to the tune of 900 GB. You certainly don't need 1 Gbps to backup remotely but 500 Kbps might not be quite enough.

It's a crummy pattern. broccoli.js FTW!

Colloquially they are synonyms. Especially amongst people who don't make software. It's not derogatory and not worth getting bent out of shape about.

That's the distinction I make anyway. I've seen coders at some workplaces. It's a dreary job and I would never do it.
