The content here is mirrored from social media and sites, I’m in a quest to catalog my thoughts and ideas in a single place. I’m not sure if this is the right place, but I’m trying it out.
Nice surprise

I will never forget the impact that seeing Paul Alexander’s photo in a science textbook had on me when I was 8 years old.
I can still recall the text about the consequences and sequels from polio and underlining the importance of vaccines in eradicating it.
The thought of a life trapped in a metal tube haunted me in my deepest nightmares.
“It is part of me”, was his response when questioned about the machine.
Thanks for the lessons Paul.

Apple Will now allow third party app stores.
My prediction?
My banks and credit cards will require a custom AppStore.
Amazon and similar will do the same so they can sell their digital goods
Govt will have their custom apps and custom AppStore’s
Zorak!
I’m not surprised by PlanetScale’s decision to give up their free-tier services.
They seem to have finally figured out that their customer acquisition cost can’t be offset as most conversions aren’t really lucrative.
This is a move that most infra as a service providers are embracing. From my experience, you can barely cover the expenses with the lower-tier paid plans; and as a consequence getting free tiers to turn a profit is quite a long shot.

My desk now has a sidecar. Stuff that usually ends up in the table now have a place to be.
Soon my sidecar will need its own sidecar

Based on my experience, when businesses begin offering lifetime plans, they’re typically not in the greatest financial shape.
Once, I committed to a lifetime plan, putting a significant sum into the subscription only to be sorely disappointed when the company took a complete U-turn and abandoned the deal a couple of years later
So tread lightly with “lifetime” discounts and start looking for alternatives
