I have never heard of this site but find it confusing that there is no information on the date this was started or which administration they are referring to.
man honestly all this stuff pisses me off but I'm just trying to survive over here in my own life. Got friends from all over but no one is really ready to put their life on the line. Like, most disagree with Trump's agenda, many find it offensive, but bottom line is staying healthy, finding work, paying bills, taking care of ppl immediately around you is more important.
Truth is, lots of Americans are really divorced from the reality undocumented immigrants are facing right now. Lots of immigrants from 10-15+ years ago aren't worried if they are law abiding (anecdotal). The online rhetoric rly doesn't match daily life in my most places aside from the active hotbeds.
I question this every single day. Constantly the argument arises that if I played politics and ass-kissed, I might receive more opportunities to create bigger impact to help people / entertain people / provide some valuable service or product. Yet it feels painful to have to self-promote (even if framing it as "documentation of your work").
It is akin to musicianship in a sense. How many of the absolutely, obscenely, most talented musicians have you come across in completely obscured settings? At the pub, the hole-in-the-wall jazz club in a C-tier city, deep on the internet with 13 plays on SoundCloud. But we all know that pop music doesn't necessarily reward technical musicianship.
As a fan of pictograms in general and very much a visual learner, I don't mind Tahoe icons or menu icons in general. By default I look to those first and then the text, it works for me.
That said, Apple's Liquid Glass is really poor UI. It works okay on my Macbook but feel like it's basically broken a couple features of my second gen iPhone SE, which is kind of untenable imo. Apple also clearly seems to design for larger devices now, which I get but... am I any less of a customer because I use an older device? why should I be de-prioritized?
Lastly, speaking of UI/UX - this blog's website was really bad! Ironic that a blog on UI/UX would have bubbles floating down the screen interfering with text readability and no way to turn them off!
Im also starting to slowly suffer as a fellow iPhone SE enjoyer. Every month another app or website has some UI update that doesnt take the SE screen size into account and is either awkward to use or sometimes impossible because they dont allow scrolling.
I am a full-stack dev that does a lot of front-end work and I can't even comprehend not checking every possible screensize when designing my app lol it's so easy to both test and design for all screen sizes now. I don't get why this is a struggle for some site or apps.
idk man, I work at a big consultant company and all I'm hearing is dozens of people coming out of their project teams like, "yea im dying to work with AI, all we're doing is talking about with clients"
It's like everyone knows it is super cool but nobody has really cracked the code for what it's economic value truly, truly is yet
My personal POV is that I've been coding from scratch when coding for creativity. It has been wildly refreshing to go back to handwriting some cool little HTML/CSS/jQuery(sometimes) static websites.
From a professional & learning standpoint? Some good points in this thread:
- Realizing I still need to code from scratch when setting up initial architecture/directory stuff like kryptoyagi said. GitHub Copilot fails at this constantly (or I suck with it)
- cpach is right... I'd guess that a >50% majority of software devs worldwide are barely using AI lol. I graduated CS not even 10 years ago and like 7 out of 8 of my friends dont want to use it (or are working on old-ass repos/govt repos)
- aslansahn is spot on, I feel like this has been the most efficient approach. Plan everything out, have it go one-by-one for you, step in manually once in awhile to course correct if necessary
tysons is a good example as well. I always think the development of the DC metro is some of the most impressive in the sense of 'cities' popping up along the train lines.
I haven't travelled the entire country but I've never seen anything quite like Silver Spring, Bethesda, or as you say, Reston. Super interesting.
