@thomasfuchs right, it’s an unadulterated nightmare.

Maybe the Apple/Patreon thing finally gets us enough momentum for a cross-industry “You Don’t Need an App for That” campaign?

@twipped cc @mattly has some ideas maybe? :)

@thomasfuchs right next to…

@thomasfuchs of course you do 😘

@pmonks @mattly everybody always wants to become the only intermediary between a thing that a lot of people want and only a few can make.

Fun fact, I was recently in a conversation where wanted to count all the bubble-hypes to make a separate point and I couldn’t for the life of me remember the metaverse. That’s how great that went 😅

@mattly macOS lets you do that :)

@jascha 3% weniger irgendwas und es „bricht direkt ein“.

So the #CrowdStrike CEO has done this before? in 2010?! At McAfee?!! 😳

@mattly @polotek just realising this is conway’s law striking yet again.

@ironchamber @darius @polotek as I said, I know how we got here :)

@mattly @polotek yup, native used to be better at this but no more

@polotek no idea, but blocking the UI until all async things are done is also not great if those aren’t guaranteed to resolve fast.

@polotek native apps suffer the same fwiw. Terrible database access can be done anywhere ;D

hot take: having dozens of UI components go through a placeholder/loading/populated state progression on an individual timeline makes for a terrible user experience.

This includes most modern web and native things. I know how we got here, but the flickerfest needs to be a transitional period and I’m not seeing a way out. 🔥

I know he’s buds with Don Knuth, but he also can’t be reached via e-mail.

Adding Figma to the list of hostile software that I need to tweak before I can allow it to be used at work.

Counting the days until they retract the on-by-default option because of their corporate buyers.

@ryanc …when the sun is highest? ;D — I assume you have flexible pricing and night power is cheap?
