This doesn't feel like the same category.

The product itself is augmented human: specific concrete human design choices and changes, using the machine to toil. It's not "I will black magic this for you, blow you away on a one shot, and utterly fail to be useful in real life". It's more "you do the you part, machine types up the diffs."

Philosophically, I both believe in this approach, and, find it goes much further in the real world, as if mastery matters over median-ocrity.

The submission itself here is clearly not the product submission template explosion on reddit and here in the OpenClaw boom. The product concept and use feel human designed as well, although the site selling it is clearly template or design gen.


$99 to correctly implement toil from design direction is irrelevant to a web designer earning for shipping designed web

// words chosen carefully, each doing work


How does this site's home page not have a "what this looks like" anywhere?

Seven years... Where's yours?

// If there is an example and I can't find it, might as well not be there.

// If you won't show yours, why would I show mine?


On the contrary, commit your code to your GitHub repo, triggering Xcode cloud build to take it from there, build, test, deploy to TestFlight or store.

Found a bug while backpacking Sardinia? Edit the GitHub repo source on your phone, commit... hey, new build shipped.

See the App Store Connect mode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode-cloud/


As I said, instead of providing tools, Apple locks you into a shitty GUI application. Thank you for giving another example.

> triggering Xcode cloud build

So my options are a 40gb compilation runtime, or a cloud build that bills me by the hour to avoid the 40gb compilation runtime.

You gotta hand it to Apple, any other audience would just call this "enshittification" and be done with it.


Ergonomics studies back in the day demonstrated amber beats green. Our shop spent extra for amber CRTs over green.

On MacOS Terminal, edit the Homebrew profile and set Text and Bold Text to Apple color Orange, consider setting Selection to Apple color Green and Cursor to Block, Blink, and Apple color Yellow.


You can use the +label method on M365 work accounts, like first.last+label@workdomain.com

Outlook rules match on them too, for rules.


All companies know this and it is trivial to strrip the +label from the address automatically.

If you are using +labels on your addresses and think you are being clever enough to spot companies that sell your data, I can tell you I have personally seen companies use code to strip these labels before selling profiled data.


Insecure is a curious word as it entangles with what is or isn't known, more than informs about design.

A different way to put it is GCP architecture has made different tradeoffs. For example favoring operability over confidentiality*, or scalability over integrity.

This makes sense from its mono-tenant engineering origins. Those were the right calls. Google exported SRE not SecEng.

Frankly, for most cloud customers, it's what they need.

* Take this break glass process. It arguably shouldn't be possible. If clients need their CSP to be "NSL proof", unable to leak corporate info responding to a national security letter (or any less obligatory rationale) without the corporation knowing, GCP is not their cloud. CSPs mostly consider it more difficult than it's worth to design a cloud offering that can be proven unable to provide a client's data. On the contrary, customers yell if CSP can't restore lost data, like Apple users yell if Apple can't restore iCloud. iCloud Advanced Security is what happens when you build clients the choice -- witness the warnings.

Support drives design choices, not security.


Hate to break it to ya, you picked an emerging hyperscaler:

https://www.sdxcentral.com/news/cloudflare-has-the-edge-in-h...


i guess the difference is i chose my hyperscalers à la carte instead of getting the all-in-one bundle. at least when cloudflare breaks something i can still ssh into my linode and debug it directly

Linode is also owned by Akamai...

Or they did, but they needed/wanted to do something else more.

That's usually based on either (a) more perspective, or (b) lack of foundational depth.


Maybe they didn’t have sufficient visibility at the ground level to make proper decisions.

Texture was incredible.

Apple News remained fantastic until renewal of agreements when publishers demanded rights to insert additional ads.

Apple can't not have premium sources in there, so...
