HatchedLake721··on EU will mandate labels on authentic-looking AI content starting August 2
Let’s stop labeling cigarettes are bad, because people will start smoking cigars and think they’re safe.

Unlabeled doesn’t mean safe or legit.

HatchedLake721··on EU fines Google €890M for competition breaches over search and apps
> The EU has been fining Google for years to no avail.

Me after a quick research:

2017: €2.42 billion fine for favoring its own comparison shopping service.

Results: huge changes to Google's shopping service.

2018: €4 billion fine over Android-related practices.

Results: Google Play separately from Google Search and Chrome, and manufacturers gained more flexibility over preinstalled apps.

HatchedLake721··on Meta enables ADB on deprecated Portal devices [video]
Or perhaps it's laziness and bad writing not to give courtesy and spell out acronyms the first time it's used.

Makes my blood boil that I have to open ChatGPT, paste the link and ask what the hell is ADB.
HatchedLake721··on MacBook Neo is so popular that Apple doubled production
You make my point
HatchedLake721··on Angular v22
Angular (and e.g. Ember) are the “Rails” of frontend frameworks.

React/Vue/Svelte are view libraries that give you more flexibility.

Angular gives you structure.

For large enterprise apps with many developers, consistency and standardization is often the main reason people choose it.

HatchedLake721··on MacBook Neo is so popular that Apple doubled production
It’s not this websites thinking, it’s every tech person’s thinking.

Apple is an example of great consumer focus vs tech requests of “but I want to run Kubernetes on my iPad it’s powerful enough”.

That’s thanks to Steve Jobs. iPhone was a #1 smartphone for a decade without ever mentioning the RAM or CPU MHz in the announcements or marketing material. Even if there was less RAM or worse specs than the Snapdragon at the time, iPhone was still faster and sold more.

This philosophy is still at the core of Apple.

I wish more companies worked this way, but I don’t know anyone even close.

HatchedLake721··on Sites and role specific plugins in Codex
I’m not so sure. Focus still matters.

Will OpenAI with dozens of “verticals” be as good as a vertical focused SaaS?

They can ship a CRM/iPaaS/tables, but will they be better than Salesforce/Zapier/Airtable?

I don’t think so, I think it’ll just end up as bloat.

HatchedLake721··on Understand Anything – Graphs that teach the codebase
Please, add a light mode. I bounced because I don't want to squint my eyes through this AI generated landing page with unreadable #8a8578 text on black background
HatchedLake721··on Ember.js 7.0
Ember is not Backbone or Marionette, both of them are stagnant. Ember’s actively maintained and improved with 6 week release cycles and LTS versions.

Ember on frontend is what Rails is on backend: less fashionable, opinionated, mature, and still useful when you value long-term app consistency over ecosystem hype and new JS framework of the month.

HatchedLake721··on Ember.js 7.0
We had the same issue hiring 8 years ago in the UK.

Since then I realized I’ll never require a react/vue/angular/ember/svelte/etc experience, just go for good JavaScript developers with frontend experience, framework doesn’t matter.

Took them a week or two to understand the Ember patterns that’s it.

I think we overcomplicate, all these frameworks are just slightly different ways how to build web apps, the core patterns are the same. Anyone experienced can pick any of these frameworks in matter of days or weeks.

Same on the backend, great if you’ve have experience with any of the express/hapi/koa/nest/fastify/hono, but if you don’t have experience with the one we use, it’s still fine. Hire good engineers, not good “framework” engineers.

HatchedLake721··on Node.js 26.0.0 (Now with Temporal)
/s ? Bun is not yet (ever?) compatible with Node. I'm sure if Node JS could trim the fat with breaking changes they'd be fast too
