In most of Europe Android is the dominant platform as well. Only very few demographics have IOS as dominant platform. So it is a very reasonable business-choice to start off with an Android app.

I would, however, suggest you clarify your intent to reach other platforms in your communication. E.g. "iPhone app planned. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to learn when we have an app for your iPhone" or so. That way you show interested people that it is on your radar, you have plans, but simply not the resources (yet).
This is why I don't rely on Google anymore. I do have a Youtube account separate from the Gmail account I used to use, but I don't trust Google to not figure out its the same person and simply terminate both if the Youtube account does something they don't like.

Giving reason for taken actions seem like it should be common sense, yet for some reason in many areas just doesn't happen, just muddying underlining issue.

A case in point, I recently opened a bank account and needed to verify my identity by taking photo of my id and my face. I did it at least five times and always got just generic answer that the verification was unsuccessful. I thought that problem was with bad quality of camera or difference between my appearance on id and the taken photo and only later I realised that the id has already expired. Why didn't it tell me first time so I could use passport, instead of letting me try it over and over again?
The pre-made components and user lib is huge.

I was at Amazon working on something - their own engineer was using draw.io to quickly grab AWS icons for Lambda, IoT core, API Gateway etc and place them into his flow chart.

Stitch -> Redshift (with DBT for data modeling) -> Looker

For a smaller company, it makes a lot of sense for us to use off-the-shelf tools like these rather than rolling our own pipelines. Every once in a while we run into issues where Stitch isn't quite as flexible as we'd like (can't set dist/sortkeys etc), but that's the tradeoff you make for its simplicity.

DBT is amazing and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Looker works for analytics, but we're starting to do more data-sciency work, and it doesn't have built-in Jupyter notebooks or anything like that. Does anyone have a solution they use and like for hosting and sharing notebooks alongside a stack like this?

"Progress" is a rhetorical device used to paint whatever actually happened in a positive light. But coincident with the positive elements of the rise of western society, is a whole lot of tragedy. Wars with unprecedented brutality and scale, genocide, factory farming, mass extinctions and the systematic destruction of the planet, selfishness as a defining cultural trait.

Replacing competition with cooperation may have accelerated the positive aspects of progress (e.g. science), and maybe slowed or prevented many of the negative ones.

> Docs should be detailed, easy to read, and packed with examples.

But aside from all the examples and tutorials, please don't forget about a proper manual and full API docs. I've seen too many different tools and tech that have spent a lot of money on writing up the happy path, but then completely left me on my own when I encountered some weird error code.

Just follow the structure of the whole API you have, and make sure that each member, each function argument and each possible return value is documented. It's not as glamorous as "one button integration" - but that one button integration usually turns into nightmare when you want to wire it up to your automatic builds anyway.

I've tried drawing diagrams with these tools and it seems so much harder for quick drafting than just using pen and paper and also a lot of work to get anything even remotely good looking (like aligning things or making boxes of the same size, ie performing mass operations).

Yeah that's what I'm going to have to do as well. I think the most important (for me) is changing my email to another service (looking at Fastmail) and then slowly changing all my logins to that one.

> The product won't do things exactly the way you want. If you build it yourself, you get it the way that you wish it had been built.

Far more likely you will prove to have underestimated part of it or overestimated yourself, and will make something less capable and even farther from your personal ideal than the off-the-shelf version. And that's to say nothing of the bugs and maintenance burden. And even if you surmount those obstacles, you'll probably have to make huge sacrifices in functionality or reliability because, unlike the vendors of the off-the-shelf version, you have other things to do as well (or your boss has other things for you to do).
When I started as a software engineer in the Aerospace industry, I was the "kid", one of the few young guys working amongst a large group of middle age (and up) engineers. Interestingly, there wasn't much in the way of mentorship -- just dump all of the grunt work on the kid. "It's good for you to cut your teeth on testing/maintenance/etc." And also "You need to pay your dues, son." - whenever I asked for more responsibility / new projects, etc.

Now that I'm middle-aged (39), I'm one of the few older guys working amongst a large number of younger folks. Formal mentorship and leadership development programs (so you can be promoted past the Gen Xers we're currently targeting for layoffs) are real things now focused solely on the younger generation...

As a developer, I would be happy to pay you instead of having to develop and maintain a close cousin of your product for an obscene amount of time investment.

However, I often encounter these roadblocks :

1) The product is not opensource and I can't tweak the 2 line of code I need to make it work with - for example - a different OIDC provider without opening a feature request that will take forever to ship.

2) The product is a SAAS one. Company policies, network security and common sense prohibit me from sending any data to an external provider that is not vetted. Sorry.

3) It's difficult to ship (enterprise) software that would require acquisition of a commercial license from a dependency in order to work as expected. It's doable for a critical piece that you can't replace, but it's really cumbersome when every single piece start asking for a license in order to work. As someone setting up some infrastructure, I don't like to depend on batches of commercial software either because renewals are a pain.

Weber–Fechner Law
I think that in this statement 'default' with the word 'beginner' can be read as 'unchangeable' for the sake of this conversation.
Yes, it is hard. But I think it's not just education, but epistemic humility. We have no direct knowledge of what's going on in other parts of the world. The past is often not recorded accurately, the future often unpredictable. So our default assumption should often be that we don't know what's going on.

Highly educated people in the grip of an ideology can dream up conclusions far beyond the limited and unreliable evidence we get from media consumption. They are often rewarded for this.

And one of these ideologies is the myth of rugged individualism (or competent adulthood), the idea that each person can and should figure out what's going on by themselves. It's obviously not true of children and the elderly, but most of us outsource a lot of our thinking. Living in modern civilization inherently means having a lot of trust and dependency on others.

The ideals of media literacy are simply unrealistic for most people. It's not clear what the alternative is, though.
If you were as good as you think you are, you'd be able to write code that other people can understand.
It's more than that. I'm a software dev, but I worked for a company that built machines for autonomous underwater titration (wtf chrome. How do you not know "titration"), and even in that nightmare of a task (moving parts, chemistry, batteries and underwater) it all ends up being way more consistent than software. When things fail, they tend to fail consistently and reliably, so building towards a reliable machine tends to be a simpler process. There is still complexity, (arctic and deep water applications), but often you can solve problems by just overbuilding the fuck out of it and not worrying.

If you have a Tesla Model 3, and drive 100-miles in a day (ex: go to work, visit your cousins for their birthday, then come home), it will take 14-hours on a regular 120V x 15A charger to recharge those 100-miles.

8-hours of charging on 120V x 15A charger only charges 55 miles. You won't "recover" the 100-miles until 20-days later (-100-miles from a big-driving day, +55 miles of charge on Day1. -50 miles on the 2nd day, +55 miles on Day2, etc. etc).

Realistically speaking, the 120V x 15A charger is simply insufficient for people who actually drive 50-miles a day (and occasionally drives 100-miles).

Factor in the 33% loss of energy in the winter, factor in a mistake or two (ex: forgetting to plug in the vehicle), factor in a few nights without power (ex: hurricane or California Fires), and you're completely sunk.

----------

If you're buying electric, you need the 7kW charger (or faster), to ensure that your vehicle is fully topped off every night. That way, on your "emergency" days when two or three things happen (hurricane + visiting the cousins), you'll have enough charge to actually make it through the day.

Alternatively, buy a PHEV so that you can always leverage gasoline in those high-milage or power-outage situations.

Well, for one Snopes filed an anti slapp motion and the court fully granted it. If that's not evidence this is slapp, I don't know what is.

"As part of our defense, Snopes and our CEO David Mikkelson filed separate anti-SLAPP motions against Proper Media, Richmond, and Schoentrup. Those motions were heard in August 2019, and they were both granted in their entirety, with the court striking claims related to defamation and the advancement of legal fees against both Snopes and Mr. Mikkelson."
