The whole point of adopting this hard-charging management style was to get employees to innovate faster and catch up to competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the all-consuming battle over AI. Instead, Meta has been falling farther and farther behind.

Falling behind in what exactly? The race to the bottom?

Hmm I transferred a lot of my stuff from GitHub to GitLab a while ago mainly because of the free private repos. Was thinking about moving fully off GitHub but glad I waited 🙃 Still going to do it but gotta figure out which providers actually have their heads somewhere other than up their ass

You don’t even need to check in .gradle to a repo, I always have that gitignored. And gradle projects should specify commands to build from CLI rather than having you download an IDE. Android Studio gives you a nice run button but it’s just invoking ./gradlew installDebug under the hood

I thought you could still install apps from other app stores if you just enabled the setting and wait a cooldown period like 1 day? Maybe they changed the policy though not sure

Gambling seems to me like one of the most destructive addictions out there. If you have money you can pretty much consume as much drugs as you want and still have money. Gambling is the one addiction that scales with your income and can leave pretty much anyone homeless no matter where you start from. It’s terrible

I’m also a mobile app dev and at my workplace they’re having non-mobile devs submit code to my codebases totally vibed with no understanding behind it. It’s absolutely causing problems, especially for me, who is one of the only lines of defense keeping stuff even remotely maintainable.

So yes basically you’re right. If people only used it to learn and do initial code review passes and other reasonable things we’d be totally fine. But that’s unfortunately not the reality 🙈

That’s crazy, how is that even legal? You should have to deliver someone’s W-2 either to their physical address or provided email address.

I do! And also got my dad to switch to it this year 🙌

It’s always been good, and in the past few years they have been adding scanning for various documents, the lack of which was my only complaint about it before.

DisplayFusion for monitor backgrounds. Bought a license like 15+ years ago and it’s still getting updates 🕺

Depends on the state/law. Also from the blog

It can get worse. New York’s proposed Senate Bill S8102A requires adults to prove they’re adults to use a computer, exercise bike, smart watch, or car if the device is internet enabled with app ecosystems. The bill explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General. Practical methods for a bill of such extreme breadth would require, in many instances, providing private information to a third-party just to use a computer at all. Privacy disappears.
