One could argue that their art is also not theirs but it's based on the art they have seen before throughout their life. It makes you reflect on what's really 100% original, as the saying if you want to make an apple pie from scratch...
We have a business that relies on the Twitter API. I don’t mind paying to access the API, but the way they’re handling this makes me want to deprecate support for Twitter entirely. I am only learning about this change from this thread. Even worse, we only have 7 days to react.
This! The most striking thing about many of Musk's changes at Twitter isn't the idea behind the change but the appallingly bad execution. Things get rolled out practically over night with no explanation or warning. Same with the unannounced policy changes a few weeks ago. It's as if he'd not only never run a company, but never even worked at one. It feels like the intern is running the ship.
That's the problem GP means. It's less than a week until it happens, and nobody knows how much it's going to cost, how you convert your free account to a paying account, whether auth is also going to be paid, etc etc
Is this actually confirmed as it doesn't even make sense.
That page mention a free tier of up to 250 requests, it only mentions search, and even though we can't see the content easily, Web Archive is saying that page has been there for the past 5 years... so is that really the future price? Or is it for a Search API that has been priced like that for a long time?
No, even I would consider those sums although I'd prefer not to. Musk's been spitballing '$100/month + your ID' - don't have the link handy but you can just scroll his feed as he treats it like a brain dump.
I'm not that anonymous but I can't say I like the idea of having to provide a copy of my legal identification just to make an API call. Especially considering Twitter's less-than-perfect record on securing PII. What if your published research shows something unfavorable to Twitter (eg a long-term decline in engagement across the platform0 and you start receiving hate mail at your home address?
Yeah, my post was ambiguous - I was wondering why people who followed Islam retained a cultural practice which seems at odds with the religious principles of physical and ritual purity.
In my view, the listed items are one step away from tech debt. They may be the pressures that lead to tech debt, but it's the devs that wrote and shipped the tech debt. I personally have maintained the quality bar of projects so that they ship later than originally scheduled. I may not be popular at the time, but eventually people start to notice that projects that I tech lead do complete (eventually) and run well after they go live with much less follow-on maintenance and support. Performance being built into v1 is one of those things. I'm not talking about an MVP for a startup, but extensions to an already high scale platform.
The ideal is when a team's experience actually matches the project they're assigned. They need to be up to the task.
This requires management to be at least more experienced than the teams they manage and to make good hiring and placement decisions. This is not just number of years in the industry, but the average number of years spent at any single company. They need to have seen the long tail of maintenance in the development lifecycle on projects they were wholly responsible for.
Agreed. I've seen an org that essentially let the devs run the show for picking timelines, technologies, features. It was a disaster. Endless design by committee, no progress, too many abstractions, and on and on it went with developer created problems after being given free reign with only general direction. Of course, this is a management issue at the root, all problems are, aren't they? :)
Creating functional software engineering orgs is hard. Between dysfunctional management, lack of support from other business departments, or problems originating from the devs themselves.
It's pretty easy to feel when it's not working properly and know roughly where the problem lies. But solving it properly is hard stuff.
This is a plausible explanation considering that the drop in market share is not that big. It would be interesting to compare the numbers from the past two years.
We've been using Tailwind for over a year now. We use it with Angular for our web application and with Gatsbyjs/React for our production website. I have nothing but love for Tailwind.
It's almost like they continue to add nothing of value on purpose because it's admission they screwed up - they should have a tablet with macOS by now, including this feature.
In this case, revenue = device sales = popularity.
So you may think that you know more about product management and how to sell devices than Apple but given their experience it's a pretty tall claim.
Because freedom and power comes with tradeoffs. And many of those tradeoffs which come from multiple app stores, code execution etc are pretty unpalatable to most people.
Couldn't agree more! I'd like to add to that the terrible UX. In fact, Salesforce is so terrible that there are dozens of businesses built around just configuring it for you.
