I was literally just talking about this the other day—every app on my Mac that gives me trouble is from Apple (Music, Podcasts, Keynote). And don’t even get me started on the declining UX quality in iOS. It feels like the cracks are really starting to show now. I know Apple’s developer quality has been on a downward trend for a while, but at this point, it’s impossible to ignore.

For me blogging acts as a function to learn about something. If I want to understand a particular subject (albeit a small one), I’ll write about it. Do some research on the matter, think over what I am trying to answer, and at the end I always feel more knowledgeable about that particular subject point. Another factor is that it improves my writing, which in turns helps expression which too is very valuable. Sure not many people read it, but honestly putting on some music and just tapping away on something interesting is quite therapeutic.

'"every line a hard-fought battle" style that really makes you understand why and how something works'

I totally agree with this and I really like that way of wording it.

I agree and it's a real shame, we used to spearhead some of the most initiative companies in technology (Acorn, Arm, Sinclair, Sage, Deepmind). Now it's just a shadow, while places like Silicon Valley or Stockholm have jetted ahead the UK just sort of stagnated - it's kind of embarrassing.

That's truly amazing! I knew you could do a lot with PDF but that not to this extent.

Here is the UK it is very common, I must get 4-5 a week and I am also very cautious about who I give my number to.

This is the exact thing I keep telling people. It's all well and good saying human made content will still be around, but it will be covered in a tidal wave of cheaply generated AI hogwash.

Wow, oddly enough that kind of sounds quite fun.

I'm not sure what others are saying, I re-watched Ghost in the Shell again recently and I had forgotten just how brilliant it is. There is something pure about it that you just don't find in modern anime, something that really resonated.

That's a great analogy, I'm now going to have to read this book.

This is a great analogy.

That's a great picture, it reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy XV.

That is so cool!

He's an extremely smart guy, so I'm not that surprised.

Not seen it on groceries, but I know Uniqlo use this same method and it's fantastic.

Not sure about at the time, but I have had the opportunity to record onto one of the tape machines they used (they had multiple) and the studio had paid around £30,000 for it.

This is really awesome, I love the way you integrated the live camera feeds.

Absolutely agree, I've seen far too many companies spend far too much time working out the infrastructural relationships of microservices. Spending very little time working on the actual applications needs itself.

Just from my own perspective and in speaking with recruiters (UK), I've never seen the job market this bad before. I have 20+ years’ experience, Harvard, senior leadership positions, and long tenures at reputable places. Yet I don't hear anything back from applications I put out (and these are senior positions).

I think one huge factor at play is the move to remote work, before you would compete with the people in your area who had to physically be able to turn up to a location to interview. What has happened is the opening of the gates to anyone in the world being able to apply to that same job, so you now have 500+ applications for roles that would have previously gotten 20. There’s only so much headspace one can give to that quantity of applicants so I suspect the first 25 get a look in and the others go in the bin.

I couldn't agree more.
