Love this idea, very useful.

Couple little bugs/notes I noticed: The position titles are appearing twice, and my google seems to think this page is written in Slovak? And keeps offering to translate it...

Thanks for creating!

Hamburgers 10 years ago

I agree, it seems to me most people would only want to use one or a small selection of these, so it would be much more useful to have the ability to easily grab a hamburger's code individually.

I think this article leaves out a major question of whether or not people feel like being social. Some people like talking to people when they have a problem or question, some people have a strong resistance to explaining their problem on the spot to a stranger.

Why does the percentage of dropouts from an online class matter? Do the issues raised in this article really need to be addressed? There are still so many people benefiting from successfully completing these courses, and learning new information. Do the people who don't, or who try and then give up, really affect the value of the opportunity online education brings?

I agree, I think this has been happening for several years now. Pop culture fascination with AI has come and gone in waves and I don't believe this wave signals any significant change in the imminence of AI. Seems RS is just grasping for another eye-grabbing story as usual.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an emphasis on creating better dashboard. One of the biggest hang-ups I experience as a user is it's too difficult to find and keep windows open for every team that I'm on that has it's own slack address. If I could sign in once and see all of the teams I'm on in one place I would be much more inclined to keep a slack tab open in my browser all the time.

You point out one of my HUGEST frustrations, "either an app takes EVERYTHING they ask for, and noone tells you how exactly they used those capabilities (no api log, no nothing), or you can't use the app". I hate this aspect of OAuth and am so desperate for a simple solution. But I sincerely doubt one is coming-- at least not for a while...

Love the idea of this app! I agree there is a lot of value in the meditation behind just writing and leaving some of the critical thinking/content editing for later. One thought though: Perhaps there could be an option to include a spellcheck/type-o error counter to encourage more thoughtful and deliberate writing, especially with auto-correct taking over everywhere. I find it quite easy to continue moving my fingers mindlessly, but if this tool could be used as a way to be even just a little more careful about which keys your fingers are hitting it's applications could go a long way.

Hackathon Be Gone 10 years ago

Couldn't agree more with so many of the views expressed in this. I felt the same way after participating in the LinkedIn DevelopHer Hackathon last August. I came home and was so physically ill from sleep deprivation, eating nothing but oreos, drinking soda for the caffeine, etc.. that I was out for another 2 days. I don't know if I've ever felt as sick as I did after that hackathon, and it was all elective abuse to my body.
