I took a shit

I just completed a high-impact, end-to-end internal optimization process. It’s all about streamlining the system, letting go of what no longer serves the mission, and making room for the next big deliverable. Grateful for the opportunity to decompress and refocus on the core objectives. #Efficiency #ProcessImprovement #GrowthMindset

I tried that and gave up. Get ready to spend a lot of moeny, sensors and devices are still very expensive compared to the ZB counterparts. Most Matter devices go with Wifi rather than Thread which makes your wifi network implode if you plan on installing a large number of them. For that reason I decided to go with what's cheap and works today, which is Zigbee.

To me the advantanges comes when you use some sort of query builder. You can pass your list in code rather than having to write the SQL.

I'm using mjml-react which gives me:

- proper i18n with any react i18n library

- js to create complicated emails

- nicer component reuse story.

- syntax highlighting and completion when used with Typescript

- can be integrated with other nice js tools like Storybook for seeing all emails in one place and play with their props.

How is that useless?

When I got my Apple Watch I was really disappointed at Spotify for not having streaming, then I learned that Apple kept the APIs private and only Apple Music allowed streaming.

When finally Apple relased the feature for third parties, Spotify was really slow at implementing it. What should have been a couple months max took like a year or so...

I would really like to know who is responsible here.

This December I used Google maps for a ~2hour car drive. The selected route sent me through mountain pass with lots of curves. Being below -10 degrees I didn't think it was the best alternative so I decided to look at the map myself.

There was an alternative that used mostly highways and decent roads that only took 10 more minutes.

I still don't understand why the curvy road was the default option.

Why should we? You can do that if that's what you want. I prefer using Spotify because I can listen new and random artists without knowing their names and explicitly buying their music. Spotify provides me with a service I'm happy to pay for and I'm happy they take a cut from.

The new breed of delivery services (Uber Eats, Glovo, etc.) don't give a damn about preferences - they'll offer delivery services for your restaurant whether you want them or not; they won't even ask you for permission.

This is no longer true with Glovo. I've seen restaurants in the Glovo app that do their own delivery. The app shows it to explain why there's no tracking of the riders for example. Or why they can't give you an accurate estimate.
