There have been a few check-in threads the past couple of years; it's still crazy to me that my professional career started with a couple offline html saves of KINEX's torque script tutorials on the scattered space forums at a labor day party I brought a laptop to as a kid. Whatever the opposite is of falling down the alt-right pipeline--I hope I'm in that 30%?

With what Microsoft is doing with new Teams and their WebView2 runtime--is that still cross-platform? I actually didn't mind that upgrade--the upgrade from Outlook to new Outlook was really good too.

If an app doesn't explicitly benefit from device-level APIs such as biometrics or Face ID, I don't see why I should download it. Reddit specifically is a huge loving nag, sometimes even mandating you download the app and make an account.

The bloated apps I feel are crazy, for multi-platform apps, there used to just be one runtime installed per system, but now apps are packaging their own runtimes. The base install for a .NET MAUI app is like 150 MB because it has to ship a portable version of the .NET runtime with it.

I'll admit I like the way Swift handles nullability, and Apple's cryptography library definitely outpaces Android, but if I wanted to develop an Apple app for one of my own personal projects, it would have a cost-to-entry of like 2000$ since you can only develop Apple apps on Apple devices, and you require a /subscription/ to do even some basic development tasks...
how can you love ruby on rails. have you used it
real
the proliferation of electronjs and every program pretending to be a standalone application but actually being a glorified version of chromium or webkit
computers may be faster but you should still aim to have optimized code damnit
That's the program manager special sauce right there lmao

Microsoft claims to have server and client side SCIM support, but their server-side support documentation involves "developing an endpoint for the client to consume." They can't keep getting away with this...

I'll start with my two favorite:
  • Company x deprecates their thick client for a web app, if customer is lucky, they get an Electron app
  • App with no help docs implements a help chatbot that is just OpenAI

Nope; you can change names in rebuilt, but not in retail.

I want to get into a non-junior software engineering role, release one of my personal projects, and start making contributions on at least one open source solution on GitHub.
