to justify taking the time now

Thank you! Yeah I always feel that I'm lame for not pushing through hahaha, the thing is at first I wanted to explore and enjoy the country more than sit down and learn. And now that I've realized I can get by with the basics, and I've met lot of Japanese friends with great English so it's hard

Thank you for sharing your experience! Two weeks from now will be my first japanniversary and the part about learning Japanese was extremely relatable 😅

I laughed when reading the disclaimer "don't use it to create a competitor". I think people use Linear for the extremely refined experience and interface. Even if someone copied the sync engine, that's not where it's at.

looks absolutely incredible

Living in Tokyo, it's a bit sad because shop-wise Google Maps is still ahead. A lot of shops don't exist or don't have accurate opening / closing time on Apple Maps. I wish I could use it because it looks so much better but yeah

They look insane!

I thought this one was interesting

100% agreed. The only subscriptions I pay are indie apps.

this and the compose button honestly, I'm more of a reader / replier so I barely write posts and having this gigantic button permanently overlayed over my feed is annoying

Abstraction debt? Gen 2 invented a tool to abstract away the difficult process, but still had a very good understanding of it. Gen 3 never had the understanding of the foundation, only the abstraction. They need to learn data-oriented programming.

I've always hated this one because I always visualize memory horizontally as an array instead of vertically

I've played through the pico8 version so many times, excited for the launch!

The key is to start virtually every request with "GPT" and it will bypass Siri

Ooh thanks for that I will definitely get Bluesnooze. Even when closed my MacBook can mess with my earphones.

and thing #2 that has always bothered me is this behaviour when drawing shapes. Sketch does it different than what Illustrator got me used to. I use shift a lot when drawing vector shapes, so having to click AND press backspace which is on the other end of the keyboard is super exhausting.

being able to create complex shapes like this and selectively fill parts of it without playing with several layers and boolean operations
