My weekend side project is done! I wanted to gain some experience working with leaderboards and recharts so I made a simple reaction time game for the kids. Now, I just need some data to populate the leaderboards. It's set to last no more than 60s per game and allows you to track

I asked a couple people in a position to know what percentage of top Democrats privately think Biden should drop out of the race, and their answers were 75% and 80%. I don't see how any campaign recovers from that.

An unbelievable amount of talent is tied up in go-nowhere startups that had strong initial raises and are entering their third+ year without traction. Founder time, employee time, VC time all being consumed when they should just close it down now and go do better things.

Becoming an early startup employee has become a hard thing to rationalize recently. My whole life career has been in startups outside of two corporate situations. Watching your equity as the 1st and 2nd employee disappear sucks while knowing others cashed out before you.

If you're an ambitious engineering student and you're wondering what to work on to advance your career, you're asking the wrong question. Work on whatever you're most excited about; if you're ambitious, your excitement will outweigh the hotness of the field you choose.

If you start with a system whose design has been compromised to make it run efficiently, you'll get to do excitingly complicated things to compensate. Many of your contemporaries will be impressed, but no one in the future will care.

Loving spatial audio on Apple TV. I may feel like a nerd wearing headphones while watching a movie and eventually walking to the bathroom to realize this but it hits different.
