Flexible work arrangements don’t slow down our work.
Understaffing, shifting priorities, constant layoffs, stagnant wages and lack of follow-through from management on projects - these factors slow Google workers down every day.

Time pressure creates lasting damage even in the best of projects — can’t go against the project management triangle

Tech gave me everything I have
Its capacity to lift people into abundance is incredible and there is nothing like it
We must make that into prosperity for everyone
"I realized tech is this thing that can bring people out of whatever situation they're in and often into prosperity. And that's what I want for everyone."

This is what programming should be like, with immediate feedback you your edits. Similar to painting or working with clay.
(Instead, so many of us just write code hoping it’ll do what we want, to the best of our efforts. Then slowly build, test and deploy before we get answers.)

I see so many tweets about agile, epics, scrums, story points, etc. and none of it matters. We didn’t use any of that to ship the best products years ago at Apple.

When making a case for cross platform alignment being cheaper, it’s important to understand *why* it’s positioned as cheaper. More often than not, it’s because entire classes of long-tail features aren’t being considered (usually accessibility related, often UX related).

“[Apple] shall allow and provide the readily accessible means for users […] to install third-party Apps or App Stores through means other than its App Store”
HELL yeah — just a matter of time until I can distribute Delta without ridiculous workarounds 🙏 xitter.cf/Techmeme/status/142552…

Should mental privacy be a human right?
@yusterafa thinks it should be.
His Columbia @neuro_rights Initiative is working on a set of #NeuroEthics principles that create human rights to help guide us through XR + neuro-technologies.

Introducing Plot Components - a new way to build HTML pages using a very SwiftUI-like API 🚀
I've been working on this for over a year, and it's already being used to render Swift by Sundell. Fully documented, tested, and ready for production - enjoy! 😀

Setting a random background color is a great way to detect an accidental SwiftUI loop. The tricky part is understanding what triggers the loop tho.

Good questions for Release Notes:
- Who is the target audience?
- What changed in this release? Why? 🤔
- How does the change impact the user? 🔑
- Is the tl;dr clear? 🙂
tl;dr: "Loads faster with fewer crashes"
Detail: "Added list virtualization. Reduced OOMs by 20%" etc.

An entire marketplace should not be guided by how much a company can get away with without backlash. Please listen to your developers Apple — both big and small — and realize changes need to happen, or else you’ll just keep hurting those who love you most :( – at McManus, Culver City

AltStore’s primary goal is to demonstrate what is possible for the platform when Apple doesn’t act as a gatekeeper. We *love* developing for iOS — all we want is to build the best apps possible 🙂
Replying to @rileytestut @altstoreio
This is important. @AltStore proves that there are viable business models to fund free software development that are against Apple’s App Store rules.
