honestly, who even comes up with these graphics?! More importantly, who looks at it and approves this?

This looks great, will definitely check it out!

I'm working on an app that I use to track my sets/reps. I've added in a trends screen (both for muscle groups and for individual exercises) to check on if I'm actually progressively overloading on a consistent basis. I'm currently adding an AI wrapper around the data to figure out better insights about certain exercises, what I'm missing, etc.

The funny part about this is I travelled all over Mexico and most locals told me that they are scared to travel to the US because there's a high chance they'll be shot. Call it personal experience, but I've felt MUCH safer in CDMX than in any major US city.

This is just depressing to look at from a European perspective....

Another way of looking at this is hiring Technical product managers, aka, folks who have moved to product management from software engineering. This automatically means you have engineers and product managers talking the same language from day one and you don't have to package tech debt as "value propositions". Being software engineers themselves, the PMs at our company usually have a good understanding of when to move slow now (to move fast later), when it's acceptable to apply band aid fixes to keep the ship moving forward or when it's "everything is on fire, this needs a complete rewrite!" time

You pretty much summed up managers that have most of their employees on H1-B in the US. I know multiple managers that offload most of the work to the Asian immigrants on the H1-B visa, have them work 10+ hours a day and know that they can get them to do anything they want, because if they don't, they are scared that they can get fired and have to leave the country. I know multiple friends who silently work on weekends to potentially avoid being fired and leave the country!

I used to have the 5th generation iPod nano that had the scroll wheel and looked like this and I would buy it just for the nostalgia!

This, exactly this. I know so many people who are "above average" developers that I would love to work with because they are nice, collaborative people that are a joy to work with. The biggest problems we've faced are with these so called "10x developers", who do get stuff done, but are a total pain in the a* to deal with!

This probably will never happen, but if they let me run MacOS on the iPad, I'd buy it in a hearbeat.

Agreed. From personal experience, I can tell you that cutting out carbs in favour of protein actually made me lose muscle mass! Once I got my carbs and fats up and averaged around 1g of protein per pound of body weight, I was able to grow and maintain muscle much more effectively. Plus, I did not feel tired all the time, which I most certainly did when I cut out carbs!

I would love to show this to my colleagues, but sadly we don't talk about bruno (/s)

Haha sick reference.

I'm completely agree with this. The people who like to dig deeper usually find structural issues that help you organise your tech debt and keep it maintainable. The other ones usually keep the ship moving forward and the product team happy, applying band-aid fixes where necessary. The key is to ensure that they are talking to each other!

Now they've stopped supporting PWAs in Europe - dark times for web indeed...

As someone who works out regularly and tries my best to have healthy meals, one underrated benefit from caffiene (especially coffee) is that it helps me suppress my diet and fast for much longer! I have a couple of coffees in the morning and it helps me fast till 1pm!

does my kid count?

brr.fyi is quickly turning into my favourite blog!

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE - Location: Bengaluru, India UI/UX designer with extensive knowledge of Figma/Adobe (experience in SEO/Marketing as well) - willing to relocate: YES - Availability: 20-40 hours per week - Email: kasturirangantm@gmail.com

I'm Nikhil, and I know Figma like the back of my hand. I also have marketing/SEO experience and am in the process of switching to UI/UX. Please feel free to reach out to talk about my experience, my portfolio, etc.

Be honest: How many folks here expected this to be an article about our software (hamburger / dropdown) menus?

I agree with both your sentiments actually. A lot of the times, I do not like going to the gym on certain days. Like Friday morning leg days - I do not like it to this day. But I go anyway - why? Because friday 7 am is leg training day and it's like a habit/ritual at this point. I guess that's the aspect of discipline I like. Similar with moving away from my home office at 7pm. I have just trained myself to not go in there after 7pm, resisting the urge to check Slack or anything. I'll get a call if anything blows up, so it's become a habit at this point to not even glance over to my home office after 7pm

me, hmu

took me back to when I binge watched "the Mentalist" where Jane (the lead) explains pretty much the same thing. What an incredible show that was.

Are you sure it's not just Twitter giving them the headache?

I'm still waiting for the day something trumps Source Code Pro for me...

wow it's almost like if u pay people to stay at home at an equivalent 20$/hr, they wont go to jobs and work for 15$ an hour. Who would have thought?

Hands down, Airpods Pro. (fyi, already deeply vested into the apple eco-system, so it was a no brainer), but the quality is just superb.

Clickbait title, but I agree with the emotion of building websites/webapps for phones with much less processing power. However, one thing I would like to stress on is how people like me who love the smaller iphones are presented with horrible experiences. Take a look at this: https://lwgmnz.me/2021/03/20/nobody-designs-for-small-iphone...

Yeah I get where you are coming from. The system is completely broken, no doubts there. I still think Biden a better bet than Trump though

What I dont get is how polarized the states currently is. It's either black or white. Red or Blue. Dems or Republicans. I tend to lean a little to the left myself, but people need perspective. Biden is inheriting a mess, but what I liked was in his initial speech when he said "I dont care if you voted for me or not, I'll be your president". That sparks some hope and I hope it goes to unify the country
