Is it "the Metaverse", is it "XR", is it machine learning? No. There's cool stuff to be done in all of these fields... but the problems normal people need solving are not as large as capital's desire for tech to eat the world again.Permalink Look on archive.org

It has already been eaten, please go away and make some better batteries. (capital does not like this answer because making better batteries turns out to be quite hard, and eating the world turned out to be quite easy)Permalink Look on archive.org

@GalaxyKate a very practical tip: instead of adding another boolean field to combine with the first one, turn it into an enum instead and explicitly list out the states the thing can be in.Permalink Look on archive.org

@GalaxyKate also, that most architecture questions are about where the state lives, and what thing should own it. there are lots of different answers here, but some good rules of thumb are: - as few places as possible - as close as where it's used as possible - explicit, rather than implicitPermalink Look on archive.org
