I’m suddenly a big fan of Bob Costas

The only way it makes sense, in my opinion, is to remember that humans are overwhelmingly emotional. We are not rational. Facts don't matter as much as feelings. We use logic to justify/rationalize decisions that were already made based on emotion. It takes a LOT of effort to behave otherwise.

Dude, you gotta fix the content layout shift on your site. It's unbearable.

That’s not much different from offering you “equity”. Just today I had someone offering me 25% equity in their company, which is currently just an idea, as comp. But they “know business and sales” and it’ll be worth millions! They’re good at sales, dammit!! Why can’t I see that?!?!

The core React Native library is amazing, but you need a lot more than that to build a great app. So you reach for community libraries, and that's where it all falls apart. It'll work at first. But 6+ months from now, when you're in dependency mgmt hell, you may wish you hadn't gone that route.

Definitely. Then again - whenever I finish a large immersive game like Assassin’s Creed and watch the credits roll for 30 minutes…

AI stuff. LangChain/LangGraoh. Currently digging into ShadCN, hoping it can be a great alternative to bloated component libraries. LinguiJS for i18n. React Router 7. Vite. MDN’s “Design for Developers” module & related resources.

Good question - it’s a Google powered autocomplete field in a form for capturing job site information, not for the user’s personal address.
We encourage users to select an auto suggestion so we can get GPS coordinates from Google (ie, the “places” library) which is important later on

BTW - my form is for capturing information about a job/project for field-service businesses, whereas Stripe's use case is typically e-commerce checkout (capture shipping/billing info). But still seems like it could be helpful for users who are slightly confused by seeing a single text field. idk
