>> He could have refused the second ride. You can refuse transport or medical care at any time as long as you are able to make rational decisions.
Disagreed. Someone who is cogent and not intoxicated and not a stroke victim can't always make the best choices. Your decision making can be compromised by I dunno the fucking pain of a broken toe bone.
Seeking help should not be interpreted as a sign of weakness and made into a maze where only the most rational can escape with minimal bills. The longer we leave this cognitive dissonance where the land of the free roughly translates to land of the free to get fucked we are going to continue to have instability.
Secretaries weren't invited to one on ones and interviews generally. This was something for only the highest places employees and not say something an IC would be used to.
>> Any limitations on smartphones are either ergonomic or entirely artificial.
Wanted to add here they are also fixable. Most phones can be used with a keyboard, monitor and mouse. Reading from a phone or tablet on a beach beats doing so on a laptop! Most of all people continue to create improved tools for voice recognition.
Please take my comments as friendly suggestions in your pull request. I am not intending to shoot you down friend.
I don't think you should avoid sharing it in any forum. Like I said it seems like a reasonable idea but I would just suggest being very I suppose blunt in 2026 because people skim and won't read things thoroughly. I would preface the article with "this is not battle tested"
Lest someone be frustrated when their stream aligned team accidentally exposes your whole company's email addresses on their new web app that whoops they forgot put it behind a login.
I like the topic and I think orgs are struggling with the question:
What do our teams look like now?
But I have some big concerns with your approach here. This post is written like an authoritative summary but you admit it's not been seen working. Why is there so much untested conjecture presented as best practice here? If you had tested it you would realize this proposal is not possible in most orgs. Their "platform" will not be extensive enough to prevent misshaps by teams comprised of non engineers.
While it is driving new hardware costs up remember you can run Linux on a potato and just wait it out. My pixel 8a is a phenomenal computer if ignore the hype monster.
I've never worked on android/iOS and I know very little about sensors. I'm trying to learn through this experiment. If I can get rid of Strava and some other apps along the way with a simpler core that would be fun.
I too was and wanted to only blame communication overload. Especially with work the hardest thing in ai times seems to be the overload of stuff/shit to read that is too easy to write.
The reality is I agree with the op and I see the loss of reasoning power in myself. I've been using native Emacs on android for a bit and finally have gotten serious about config for it. I got lazy and had Claude do some of it. Which was great untill things don't work because there's not going to be my crazy ask in the data. It was painful for me to sit down and think through my configuration and the problem but I did it.
I am absolutely torn on the technology still two years after adopting it.
I assume it's something like mine. I want a phone I can dock and use as a desktop with a monitor and mouse/keyboard. That is just a phone when undocked.
We have reactive UIs and desktop mode on android. It's getting very close. I am not certain on the previous commentors reasons but I detest the many device game. A 500 dollar pixel 10a is a great computer and I would rather not buy another machine if I dont have to.
I mean I don't think some sort of "access control" within the editor is going to really address this. People edit sensitive text in their code editor and no matter what that is going to be available to most useful extensions. Even if you don't lose a credential or get some arbitrary script running to mine crypto on your machine you could have an extension function as a key logger and exfil code you really think is valuable.
Not trolling here but these things are by design cesspools ready for compromise. Any fully open ecosystem where contributions are not strictly reviewed is open to this problem. If you don't like it, don't use editor extensions and use a well audited editor.
If you want to use extensions or node packages or pypi packages without doing a detailed review you're accumulating technical debt. You're assuming a risk in order to ship rapidly. You can either pay that down at some point under control, or bear the interest when it comes due.
Just some fun I had this morning buying a song before work. I use amazon music as you can still just pay money and get MP3/etc files. I camp a lot so offline music is something I'm "into" I guess.
Not sure when this issue began but it's probably a regression in the last month or two, I've downloaded albums earlier this year.
Not trying to say AI is the culprit just pointing out that quality in our industry is just going down the shitter fast. I did try it with no extensions turned on. Realistically the cause could be safari, I didn't bother opening chrome.
