I'm mostly in web app development, and dip a little bit into infra dev. How do you go know about all the important and useful things to sponsor/support/donate to, that are outside or adjacent to your sphere? Or if I did get this to happen at my workplace, how would I get individuals to spread it out?
@glyph
If I give my webdev team the majority will be pick or some other first level dependency. I'm sure there will be some ecosystem tools to help figure out what needs some contributions.
I'm getting a bunch of "Bad source or badly formatted message, skipping." errors via devtools that I can see are related to the chrome plugin 2024.1.0 nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb.
It runs a simplified/stripped-down form of the iPad app ecosystem, with a much less-capable input mechanism, and no physical connectivity. That ecosystem would have to get a /whole/ lot better before we can start to have that conversation, and the App Store environment stifles much of that potential.
Until we see a native Xcode and Terminal environment, I don't see this as being any more capable than an iPad.

The question you ask here reminds of that court case that doubted a photo from an iPhone, and then a separate incident about a photo from an iPhone that had some strange overlay issues with a background tree (allegedly).

At my previous company, I made a take-home test. I used it as one of a few different discussion points during our interview time. I really crafted the prompt/scenario to be about an hour's work with searching for terms and functions (yes, please use libraries where appropriate) (yes please take notes if you like).
If companies want to deal with efficiency, instead of chasing people into the office they should ask Microsoft for this M365 feature suggestion:
you set an average cost per employee hour, then at the end of the meeting in Teams it displays how much the meeting cost in $ based on number of attendees and time they attended, and asks each attendee to rate if it was worth it - ie if something meaningful happened.
Anonymised stats dashboard to show cost of meetings vs benefit.
@GossiTheDog
This isn't exactly the same but my old company had a m365 feature enabled that reported time in meetings, time focused, missed meetings, overrun meetings and so on, I realize it could be used to punish employees but also seemed like good automated analysis of systemic issues

That seems reasonable to me. Apple could have used A17 Pro in the Pro phone, and a regular A17 in the non-pro models (usb3 controller included, other material upgrades absent like cpu/gpu corees). Still think it's fine though.
Well, one of my Slacks got the redesign, and it's exactly as bad as everyone's been saying.
Initial impressions:
It looks like Windows Vista. Were the designers getting paid by the gradient?
This was clearly designed exclusively by and for people with only one workspace.
The disconnect between what I need from Slack and what Slack offers continues to widen. I guess it's just not for me, and I'm not for them, as much as I’d like for that to be different.

I don't have an iPhone so as an alternative Ice Cubes works well for me on the iPad. If I had an iPhone for full time use I'd use Ivory I think.

For my base layers I'm right there with you, and then I have a few colorful button downs available depending on mood or occasional. Really reduces wardrobe complexity
I call disposable plastic grocery bags "Jewel bags" after the Chicagoland grocery store chain. I don't even shop there all that much these days, but any such bag is still a "Jewel bag" in my head.
Anybody else do this? Like, not Jewel specifically but your local store chain?
(Oh and, fun fact, an industry term for that kind of bag is T-shirt bag, despite it resembling a tank top if anything)
@TechConnectify not with the plastic bags, I think because we have a diverse plastic bag marketing in MSP, Menards bags being most durable, then Target, then a toss up between Cub and Walmart
@kate when all of that Google Domains / Gsuite stuff happened a while ago, I migrated to fastmail - it was tough going to a new provider, new apps, new ui and all but eventually I got used to it
