The best is when the microwave is still perfectly capable of functioning, but the membrane keypad starts to go bad and then you can't actually use the microwave anymore.

Want to repair just that part because it's the most unreliable and most likely to break? Well LG only sells the entire door as a replacement part and it's $200 despite the fact that the original microwave costs $400.

Is this a just a real product release post, themed as an April fool's prank? I found the whole thing to be extremely confusing.

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, the idea of pinebuds makes perfect sense considering some of the other devices they've created.

On the other hand, some of the language they used, such as how they mentioned browsing the apple store as R&D, makes this kinda seem like a joke.

I'm not sure if you've ever dabbled in HTML email development but I would definitely not recommend it as a starting point for learning basic HTML.

I think the entire point of this project is show people that they can make a website without having to be afraid of having the type of experience you just described.

If you just use HTML, then the words that you choose to write will be the words that everyone will read.

Any "pixel placement" is optional and shouldn't be a detering factor.

For the core services? Definitely. But do we really know that some 3rd party API which doesn't fail gracefully isn't causing this?

I think there's a universe where there is no overlap between engineers/PMs who work on the actual DB product and website/content marketing site.

The marketing space is filled with all kinds of "plug and play" SaaS providers which offer detailed customer journey data and sometimes it's just straight up easier to add an "accept all" consent banner than to try and allow for hot loading specific 3rd party libraries based on customized consent options.

Is it the right thing to do? In my opinion, no. But I can also understand a situation where decisions were made on marketing tech before understanding the technical privacy implications. And then the implementation is handled by a team (potentially much smaller) that does not work on the actual product.

Maybe it's different for me since I'm on mobile but I was really bothered by the huge left margin that didn't match the size of the right margin

Just wanted to say that I've been wanting something like Lunar for quite some time but didn't know it existed. It looks amazing! I'm going to try it out and will happily pay for it if it ends up working well.

My take away was that the author doesn't necessarily claim to have all the answers here. It's more of a list of general guidance that is reverse engineered from the type of behavior the she observed was definitely unsuccessful.
