@DanielGlejzner It was always broken, it only became more visible with AI.

Software hiring has become absurd. At work, you’re expected to use AI to offload manual coding and move faster. Then, to get your next contract, you’re asked to code from memory with no assistance. Pass the interview - and you’re expected to use AI again. It has never been this broken.

@Philo01 Unfortunately these kind of things are common with competitors. I think it just proves that you made something better, and they are desperate.

Good news! The review was removed by Shopify! And guess what? I just discovered that the person who left the 1-star review launched an app that does the exact same thing. Since mine is free at the moment, he's probably frustrated by that 😅
Philo Hermans@Philo01

I'm getting tired of Shopify's broken review system. I launched a new app. It's very niche, with only two competitors, and mine is free for the time being. A merchant left a review after not having used my app. They don't reply to emails, and the phone number listed on their website is fake and associated with a random person who doesn't even know their number is listed there. Two minutes... How is someone even eligible to leave a review or rating after two minutes? @tobi @harleyf @liam_at_shopify can we please get some good news here? Various issues (fake 5-star reviews, reviews not related to the app, competition buying fake 1-star reviews) have been mentioned a lot over the past few weeks, and I still don't see any official statement from Shopify. I think many app developers are more than willing to jump on a call and share their experience and ideas on how to improve the system.

@FinanceFilosoof Ik ben gestopt met FIRE. Is het echt de moeite om zuinig te doen en je suf te werken in je beste jaren, om veel geld te hebben als je oud en moe bent? Ik denk het niet.

Een van de interessante dingen aan FIRE (financially independent , retire early) vond ik altijd hoe het een tegenreactie was op de overvloed en de burn-outcultuur van het kapitalisme. Maar dat Fire uiteindelijk toch het kapitalisme gebruikt om je uit die negatieve situatie te krijgen. Als je eindeloze spullen hebt die je kan kopen, schulden hebt om dit te financieren en de overtuiging dat productiviteit gelijkstaat aan eigenwaarde en status, dan wil je als mens blijven consumeren. Maar net door te consumeren maak je jezelf afhankelijk van het systeem waardoor je constant al je tijd moet omzetten in geld en dus je vrijheid verliest. En dan ben je nooit tijdsonafhankelijk. Als je dan fire gebruikt om jezelf in een positie te brengen dat je afstand kunt nemen van overbodige bezittingen, verplichtingen en zelfs relaties, creëer je ruimte voor wat echt waardevol is. Vrijheid, betekenis en innerlijke rust. En dan kom je uit bij het minimalisme en het Stoïcisme van Epictetus, Seneca en Marcus Aurelius. Of het Boeddhisme waar loskomen van verlangen en hechting gezien wordt als bron van lijden. Fire is eigenlijk van oorsprong een reactie tegen grote negatieve effecten van het kapitalisme, maar gebruikt dat kapitalisme dan wel als een wapen om zich ertegen te beschermen. En dat vind ik prachtig. Wat filosofische mijmeringen op een maandagochtend

Been using @Logitech MX Masters for the past few years and the quality is absolute trash I've had 5 so far. EVERY SINGLE ONE breaks after ~6 months of use with the EXACT SAME ISSUE (the left click stops working). Any good alternative to this junkware? The #1 things I need are the ability to horizontal scroll, all the buttons (eg, to easily move between desktops, as well as being able to swap between devices easily.

@DanielLockyer It became quickly clear to me that GraphQL would be a temporary hype like micro-services. These over-engineered solutions always sounds great on paper but rarely work in the real world.

@simonhamp I've worked in dozens of Scrum teams. In every team, we go through the theater of estimating stories, and then, during the retrospective, we wonder why we didn't make it. It's killing my brain cells.

Or just don't estimate at all In software, estimates are theatre that only exist to provide a feeling of control for folks who truly lack it If something is important enough to work on right now, run towards it
Taylor Otwell@taylorotwell

If you’re estimating any new project, your default should be to assume it can be done in 1 day until proven otherwise. I literally don’t care what it is. I don’t care if it’s building an airplane. Why would you *start* with anything longer than that?

🍌 Got so lazy to order stuff on UberEats that I asked Claude Code to do it Very easy, it just installs Playwright and then you login once to UberEats on web (the iOS app is also just a web wrapper, nice) Then you can just say "order bananas" and it does it!
