  • Why is android superior then iOS, why, and how is it safer then iOS

    It isn’t superior or safer. Whatever you did to your phone to install spyware will not project you any bette by using android.

    I’m not even sure what you could have installed that would break out of the app sandbox. It’s likely to I have some device management profile installed, but even that seems unlikely. It’s also possible your phone compromised but that’s typically requires a state level attack.

    I’m actually leaning towards drug use or carbon monoxide poisoning. Yeah, it is that weird and you sound that paranoid.


  • Microsoft and Nvidia are investing but they are both positioned to gain a return on investment by cloud hosting and hardware sales respectively.

    Apple dropping out indicates they saw behind the curtain, did the math and realized they can create their own platform for less.

    There is no path to profitability for them. Unlike other recent billion dollar tech companies there are no human workers to squeeze. Hardware doesn’t work for less than minimum wattage.




  • I have a family plan but it’s not for any reason other than my children use it and I can afford to pay to reduce their ad exposure. We live in a swing state so they were previously bombarded with political advertising.

    The way I see it, I swapped the Netflix account for a YouTube account because that’s what the kids favor now. If they move on, I will drop it immediately. If the price goes up then I am very likely to drop it. It’s already overpriced for what it is.


  • A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

    The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

    I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

    The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

    There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.
