If you designed the new “liquid glass” iOS UI, I need you to step away from the computer, and then never return.

Saw a quote from one of the designers talking about how they’d spent months on liquid glass to make apps feel “fluid and organic” My dude, I would settle for apps that work properly! Shiny ui isn’t preventing apps feeling “fluid and organic”, it’s that most have all perf and speed of wet cement.

Apples design team has a great opportunity to pull a late-season April Fools trick with this new “liquid glass” UX. Any minute now…

Imagine coming up with a world and aesthetic as stunning as the new #Marathon game. And then absolutely wasting it by making a boring extraction shooter. How disappointing Bungie. youtu.be/fvbEnWLRo1s

I’m going to put seaORM in the bin. What is the point of an ORM, if every single interaction takes more code, is less expressive, and offers fewer guarantees than the straight-sql library it builds on (Sqlx).

AWS Cloudwatch metrics is such a deficient and clunky experience I’m somewhat surprised they even bother with it as a product.

Can someone explain the new Trait upcasting in Rust to me please? I’m too dense to get it from reading the release notes, but there seems to be quite a lot of excitement around it.

We had a game where this happened, it was called “BioShock”. I encourage anyone who thinks this a good idea to go play it and see how it turned out for everyone.

I just read this, and I cannot agree more! > would give my kingdom for an engineering culture in which people figured out how to build good primitives and protocols 🔥🔥 100% yes. It also links Frank McSherry’s COST paper, which might be my fav paper.

Q: How are you sure this solves real problems? "We'll ask customers": - boring - requires talking to people (scary) - less time to do mushrooms "It came to me in a vision": - ✨️✨️✨️ - more believable than whatever Sam Altman is pedalling this week - precognition helps anticipate shareholder whims
