I agree. HN has shaped the person I am. I don't have friends or co-workers that talk about topics such as depression, burnout, and personal growth. The comments posted often serve as a passive mentorship for me. I wish I didn't have to depend on a message board for help, but I'm happy it's here. I want to thank you all for being open and honest and I want to thank Dang personally for making it all work.
I read the article, but I'm still stuck on why Apple is asking for IAP to be included. Is the argument: "Hey, your app works with subscription services. You need to give Apple users the option to purchase via the App Store."
If so, why doesn't Fastmail (from what I can tell) offer IAP? Isn't this the same idea?
Unless I'm mistaken, all three are available on iOS right now. You can reply to a specific message, you can add/remove/leave a group iMessage, and you can name (and emoticon) group chats.
I know this is a low quality comment, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I think this looks incredible. Sleek, professional, private, and packed with utility. Great work.
I am empathetic to the situation but that's a limited view on "skin". Those who are or have loved ones (colleagues, friends, etc) in the high risk categories also have skin in the game. The 783,000 COVID-19 deaths have permanently affected tens of millions of lives.
>Which of course leaves me wondering how long it is before reddit pulls the plug on their API and forces people to use the busted mobile site or their app.
Of course. How will they do it? That's yet to be seen. Instead of pulling the API entirely, I'd bet they simply wont introduce API for new features. This will leave 3rd party apps as inferior while Reddit doesn't have to deal with the backlash of pulling the API entirely. I'd argue this is already occurring.
I don't smoke nor am I Thai and it impacted me. The video made me think about habits I hold and how it might make me feel to see a child imitate them. Maybe it's because I see children as having endless potential and I as having already exhausted mine. Maybe it's because I see children as innocent and I as not.
I check (and respond to) e-mails multiple times a day. I said that in the comment you're replying to. Your replies make it clear that you do not have experience at scale. Replying to e-mails in 2-3 hours is not "someone who doesn't check email" and receiving 200+ e-mails where most could "be 3 - 10 work slack messages" is not effective nor efficient leadership.
I respond to e-mails 2-4 times a day during task transitions. The sender does not anticipate an immediate response so the 1-2 hours delay is OK.
Compare this to Slack which requires constant monitoring where senders anticipate an immediate response. Not to mention the increase in casual "water cooler" conversations.
The find the same people that recommend Slack are the same people that recommend 3-hour meetings. It's procrastination veiled as productivity.
I have scheduled a meeting for EOW. The meeting will be my forum to discuss this issue with the decision makers. Hence, I am looking for suggestions on how to approach what will be a difficult conversation for me.
I think I will do as you suggest: let them know I'm struggling, provide options, and see where it goes. I am to the point where, even if I like this place, I will be looking for another opportunity if it's not resolved.
