Maybe I’m being pedantic but bodybuilders don’t generally “lift insane weights” or do bursts of maximal effort. That sounds more like powerlifting. Bodybuilders prioritize gaining muscle size, which is not equivalent to gaining muscular strength.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the problems on “trends in UX design.” It’s more the lack of UX design.

Not sure if this counts as “going back” but I have been managing a legacy project that is built like this for the past year or two. I hated it at first, but now I’m starting to appreciate it. My approach is to try to put as much as possible in php, but for parts of the page that are going to be manipulated by js/jquery, just have php pass the data as json and build that portion of the dom on the front end.

Actually not true. All addicts develop lifestyles around their addictions. Alcoholics often have many social connections that involve alcohol, what they do for fun involves alcohol, etc. A successful recovery typically involves changing this lifestyle to make the problem behaviors easier to avoid.

“Hobby apps” are social networks. Just because some social networks try for mass appeal with generic features like microblogs and photos doesn’t mean that other social networks with very specific features like GPS logging of bike rides are not.

This highlights the perils of using a free platform for business purposes. They owe you nothing and can change how things run/policies overnight and without warning. Luckily in this case, LinkedIn only brought in about 4% of their clients, but some businesses are fully reliant on free services like Facebook.

My thought is the exact opposite. AI can handle predictable situations fine, but the 20% of situations which are unpredictable require a general intelligence that can understand context that current AI technology (or possibly any AI technology) just doesn’t possess. There will always be situations that training doesn’t cover.
