This is something I've gone through and started to think about and eventually try and help others with. Working with mulitlingual people I noticed a tendency to use negative words "disabled" instead of "enabled" which always made code have !disabled everywhere. Tried the enum approach as well; Love focused writings like this to distill a lot of information into an easy to read form. the new concept for me is the `with` as in to apply functionality by extending a `with` class (this is inside an angular project). Also using types for values so when passing a value in for methods you don't get a blank true/false you get a human readable thing which is useful for debugging and building. Only care about optimizations later if it will ever matter.

I'm given pause every time I come across an article from this site; the detail and "playful" nature of the content is so good.

In Canada you can't call yourself an engineer unless you have some kind of association behind it; the title holds meaning including partially accountability. Something that is lacking in the tech world. I'm not saying I want to live in that world but also I worked hard for the knowledge I have starting in the IE days of web dev; it was hard earned experience making things work across the web without loosing performance. The idea that we have developers out there now getting paid higher than me that are clueless on how auth works, how the browser works, why css and browsers maintain backwards comparability for a reason.. well it's sad; but good for them I guess?

The behaviours of developers as well being beholden to their managers rather than the craft; meaning not saying No we will not move forward without proper unit tests, or pushing back when business demands quick corner cutting solutions.

Anyway, decades of bitterness. I wish we had associations to uphold some level of accountability on developers as much as protect developers. I think things would be a lot more expensive and slow if we did that though.

Fundamentally I agree with your take, not just on dev side but just the web/dev/produce' a culture of not giving a shit.

You should try using it, using react is mad in 2026 for me.

I never understood the problem with the rxjs, its a challenge to learn for those not used to the pattern but its very nice.

Regardless signals is also fine, we have ways now to interop between rxjs to signal for those looking for it:

https://angular.dev/api/core/rxjs-interop/toSignal

Personally the http client workflow is fine. Usually lives in a service and exposes the needed values in any form we want.

People may like it; I do not. But who cares?

I appreciate the way this information is brought up and the points being made. I feel it brings a context to the Bills conversation that's hard to touch on. It makes it easier to understand on a social/technical level that's challenging. It's easy to shrug off "loosing privacy is bad, but bad guys are bad too" argument.

Pedantic comment: There is no such thing as an Apple iWatch; they finally did it right and named a product without `i` in front. Just Apple Watch. My guess is the level of detail the "signals" can be seen is what matters. Apple Watch is good for some things but its not constant its only checking in from time to time to get a reading. Purpose built device probably has higher details (faster polling or something) than a small thing on your wrist.

What if tickets where given with devices; the device would hold the hash value of the facial recognition and zero data would be stored outside of the device. have open 3rd party reviews of these processes and made public so we keep our world safe but without the bullshit excuse that "privacy has to be given up for security".

I believe you, It think I'm also the same; however for me at least, I feel like I can "think" of what something looks like. This is hard to explain since its very "personal" way its easier to say "i can see a square" nope I can't see anything but I can "think" of a square.

The whole imagine a ball in your mind. Now tell me what colour it is. No idea you tell me :D I can pretend and make up a color or go with what my gut tells me which is the most common color my brain was probably trained on.(red). but in reality I don't see any ball.

I've done this around the same time and agree. Now google is used as a service (Firebase for example). The only thing I haven't been able to effectively shake off is their Calendar. I know lots of other options are available the issue is connectivity with others.
