There's an insistence that we feel bad for small business owners, that we offer up the underpaid labour of the marginalized to subsidize a small business owner's desire to own a company, to set his own hours, follow his passion.
I don't care about that. Not more than fair wages.

Anti- #15andFairness ppl simultaneously tweet at me "don't like min wage? Get a better job! Education! Bootstraps!"
&
"The poor small businesses owner. What is he to do?"
... maybe he should go get one of these great jobs instead of insisting on his dream of owning a hobby store?

Ok, there's a lot of salty randos in my mentions telling me I obviously don't understand basic economics.
I'll explain again:
The minimum wage increase means at most $20 per worker per 8hr shift.
If your profit margin is $20 per worker per day, you run a terrible business.

The more we min-max phone performance - the more we ride the edge of what's possible in a phone-sized power and thermal envelope - the more users are going to see the physics underneath. We've significantly shrunk the buffer that hides these things in order to get better perf.

One of the hardest things when close to shipping something is leaving the well-tested thing alone, even though you’d love to cram in some more polish or features at the last minute.

Maybe I should write up an article about this. Auto-layout tip for nibs that support the X without resorting to code:
Use multiple constraints with priority, so it’s always >= margin from the bottom (high priority), and also always == bottom of the safe area (medium priority). This will work on any device. Collapses margin on X.
(I hope I explained it clearly, it is a bit tricky.)

Quickly kill apps on the iPhone X: enter multitasking, tap and hold to show the close icons, but ignore those! Instead, keep your finger down and fling up to kill. You can keep flinging other apps too.

The CAD-USD exchange rate has made prices of US goods crazy in Canada for the least few years. Canadians earning CAD get the short end. nitter.catsarch.com/stroughtonsmith/status…

CHECK THIS BOX. Use your tab key constantly to move between controls. Learn ^a, ^e, ^f, ^b, alt-BS in text boxes. mobile.twitter.com/searls/st…
Also, re: #1, the vast majority of devs I pair with on macOS have never checked this box. Please link this toot and yell "CHECK THIS BOX"

iOS 11 removes app switching via a hard swipe from the left edge. I use that all the time and prefer it to double tapping home. Oh well!

As CTO my primary responsibility is to stop myself from rewriting all of the legacy systems alone in a manic fury.

Maybe pragmatism earns more money than silly disputes over who *must* be able configure their editor to display 6 space indents to do work.
