Brad Frost on \”full-stack developers\”
Brad Frost: The term “full-stack developer” implies that a developer is equally adept at both frontend code and backend code, but I’ve never in my personal experience witnessed anyone who truly fits that description. In many of the descriptions I’ve seen it goes even further than that. Sometimes full-stack developer refers to someone who can also […]

_DavidSmith on the Apple Watch Series 3
_DavidSmith: While I’ll have to live with it for a few weeks to see if it really pans out, imagining a future where my iPhone is no longer a ‘must carry’ device is remarkable. This is why I’m ordering one. As I said I would.

Dan Kimbrough reviews the Samsung Galaxy Note8
Dan Kimbrough seems to love his Note8. However, he did offer this one caveat: The one big let down I have is the speaker. It’s weak and poorly located. There’s only one speaker for media playback. At the bottom, to the right of the charging port. If you’re left handed, that’s probably where your pinky […]

Tom Dale: \”Compilers are the new frameworks\”
Tom Dale, Senior Staff Software Engineer at LinkedIn and co-creator of Ember.js, in a post where he argues that compilers are the new web frameworks: Native code tends to have the luxury of not really caring about file size—a small 40MB iOS app would get you laughed out of the room on the web. And […]

Repost: Mike Rundle on Twitter re: the iPhone X notch

Python is blowing up
David Robinson, not The Admiral, for Stack Overflow: We recently explored how wealthy countries (those defined as high-income by the World Bank) tend to visit a different set of technologies than the rest of the world. Among the largest differences we saw was in the programming language Python. When we focus on high-income countries, the […]

Wishes for Apple’s Fall Media Event

Mobile blogging goals (audio)
Recorded September 10, 2017 Starting with this audio bit I’m making a few changes. I’m ditching the episode numbers. My audio bits are not a podcast, they aren’t really episodes, and keeping track of the numbers is just more work. I will, however, denote in the title that this is an audio post. I’m also […]

Implement Webmentions or don’t. Allow comments or don’t. Tweak the design to within an inch of its life or don’t. Publish long posts or […]

A unique color for every address in the world
A recent, yet-to-be-announced client project had me designing a mobile app interface that dealt a lot with showing locations and events that are happening at certain locations (how is that for vague? sorry). While I utilized the brand’s colors to represent certain sections of the app I wanted the app to have tons of colors […]

Chris Lovie-Tyler on supporting different building blocks of the IndieWeb
Chris Lovie-Tyler, from the other side of our planet: After reading a handful of Colin Devroe’s posts (links at the bottom), I’ve made a few decisions. I’m glad my posts, in which I was just thinking out loud and forming my own opinions on these matters, helped him to form his. I believe everyone should […]

Repost: Emily Lakdawalla on Voyager’s 40th Anniversary
👉 Emily Lakdawalla on The Planetary Society blog: The fact that both Voyager spacecraft are still functioning and doing science, 40 years after their launches, is reason for optimism. We can build robust, adaptable machines capable of surviving unpredicted storms and responding to new discoveries. We can build them, launch them, and stably operate them for […]

Colin Trevorrow out as Star Wars Episode IX Director
Bryan Bishop reporting for The Verge: Lucasfilm’s creative process has been a bit of a mess lately.
