Explainability isn’t an internal concern. It’s user experience.

How incremental convenience turns working systems into fragile ones

Why speed without explainability turns into technical debt.

If your ingestion pipeline assumes the happy path, your analytics are already lying.

If we keep plowing over farmland to build suburbs where will the farming get done?

They pay more in the Bay area. Once you get out of the Bay area the pay goes down. Facebook even said if you telecommute they'll take into consideration where you live and pay you based on that.

And if you look at the class disparity we have in the United States, the middle class is almost completely gone now.

My mom is the same way, she has really bad anxiety and things just really bother her or she obsesses over them.

I know on iOS you can just block any calls from contacts that are not in your list. It's pretty easy. My phone just won't ring. They'll be sent to voice mail instead. In my voice mail greeting, it says that I won't listen to the voice mail, and if they're trying to get in touch with me, hang up and text me.

I'm a big fan of kitboga, he's got a twitch and youtube channel. The scammers constantly ask for gift cards. It's amazing to listen to, especially when you think about the vulnerable segments of our population who fall for these scams.

There's websites where you can buy "used" gift cards and I wonder how many of these are cards from scammers that are now turning them over for cash.

I much prefer driving over sitting in traffic. One thing I noticed with Waze is that it would route me way out in the middle of nowhere to my location vs sitting in traffic. It was kind of interesting to see some of these back roads, I'll admit. I did learn some good alternate routes that I would sometimes just use on my own because I knew the freeway was going to be a parking lot.

I mostly use apple maps now with car play which is fine. After we moved my commute went from ~20-45 minutes to ~12 minutes so Waze really isn't a necessity anymore. :/
