I'm a fullstack web developer with management, design, and product expertise, now with 11+ years experience writing code full-time. I've worked on lots of interesting and successful projects over the years in exciting spaces, from fintech and AI to academia, e-commerce, medtech, and the music industry, across various tech stacks. I bring a heavy appetite for problems to solve and a unique approach/flair for creating compelling products.
To be totally candid, I'm coming off a year spent driving 2 early-stage startups (principally one I've cofounded) toward profitability and traction; a thrilling, difficult, exhausting, humbling, and worthwhile thing. Now I'm turning my sights toward my next role, ideally doing that which I respectfully submit I do best: turning dreams, wireframes, and DB diagrams into battle-tested and beautiful apps and other deliverables for all sorts of audiences. I'm open to new stacks, new product spaces, new market opportunities, and new ideas. Feel free to contact me if you think we might be a good fit.
I share your pain. Luckily there are great apps out there (I use IconChamp[1]) that let you take full control of any given extension's associated icon, among other cool things. If your point is more purely about Apple's stance, then I extend a hearty "hear hear".
Folowing Jony's departure, Apple did introduce a new mbp design that removed the Touch Bar-- but has also sold an updated version of the 13" model, which still includes it, for some time
Howdy HN! I'm a frontend dev of 8 years, with excellent design chops, refined soft skills, and a take-no-prisoners approach to getting amazing things accomplished.
I normally don't post things that sound so self-aggrandizing, but I suppose advertising myself as a commodity among those in the know is the place to do it: I've been referred to as a 10x engineer by developers with multiple times more experience than myself, I have led teams to great success in accomplishing tight deadline'd feature rollouts, in rewriting old webapps using modern best practices, and at each of my prior roles I have gone the extra mile (or several as the case may be) to drive productivity, increase code quality, and better team cohesion.

Makes sense to me. I'm a now 7 year vegetarian and I've tried somewhere between most and all of the meatless options I've encountered in restaurants and at grocery stores. I eat probably 15-20 meals a week based around meatless burgers, bacon, chicken, steak, sausage, etc.
In that time (well, 2020-present) we've gone from having Beyond burgers constantly in the fridge + inclusion in a meal every few days, and seeking out restaurants that have them, to completely avoiding them. I cannot tell if the flavor has actually changed or my family has become too accustomed to alternatives-- Impossible is king to us and I'll happily take Gardein or even Boca options over Beyond now, althought I'll happily take a Beyond patty over the average black bean burger, my original standard, back before the Brave New Meatless Times (black beans feature heavily in my diet still, but not on bread :).
It's worth noting their sausage- and chicken-type products are really quite excellent. But the standard bearer, the burger patty, doesn't compete these days, IMO.
Me too. I expect though that there'd be lots of breaking changes around existing CSS having, for instance,`background-image: url(https://somedomain.abc/somefile.png)`, as quotes are optional in URL values
> The base model truck has a 110 kWh suite of batteries and seemingly will start at $40k (unclear if that’s before or after the $7500 expected federal rebate).
During the live presentation, I believe it was indicated the sub $40k price tag is before the rebate.
All good points, though I'll say, when I added the music, there was no mistaking what I expected to see as far as Artist name, Genre, etc. I expected that my music would remain as I had provided it.
Once that expectation was betrayed, my collection's relationship with iTunes (now Apple Music) wholly changed. No longer could it be a slouching-toward-immaculate pet project of mine to maintain and grow and detail the music I love, because I could wake up the next day to Apple having literally replaced songs I myself had ripped and added to my library years ago, with these alternate, sometimes censored or even live versions. I can't easily hear the version of Bob's "No Woman No Cry" I grew up listening to and loving, because Apple replaced that with some studio version it guessed I had when tasked with playing the song at my request, 2+ computers and several years deep into trusting Apple with my collection.
This is a symptom of their larger problem with maintaining and overreaching when it comes to metadata. I've had scenarios where an album of music I manually added to my library (as MP3s) has had its metadata mutilated to the point where the songs were spread across several incomplete albums (differing releases of the same album) each incomplete, including some songs becoming standalone tracks from compilation albums I had never heard of. They won't just _leave it alone_.
