I find this common in US big tech companies, but the latest is about Google removing Maps from search results. The general principle is users should be able to choose which maps service to appear. This floated because a dev created a browser extension to add back the map results… which I think leads back a previous idea I posted: i think real solutions will come from hobbyists with a heart

yeah indie is the way to go, I think. In the Philippines we have some artists who came together to start their own publisher/label names. They don’t have the capital for marketing as other big labels but at least they get most for what they produce.

Gonna get hated (again) but this has to be said: hiring juniors who don’t understand the foundations (html, css, js) and the proper separation of concerns will be more expensive in the long run. This should be a non-negotiable. But now maybe the leading cause of frustration and failed projects. It’s a hiring problem. But managers don’t understand this.

Personal opinion about Eminem. I think the darkness in his songs is a mirror of reality which no one has had the courage to speak of. He created personas fully knowing he, as the artist, will be taken quite literally but didn’t care. All reference to how Slim Shady was a worshipped celebrity is real for other celebrities. And Stan being an obsessive fan who neglects reality is all around us (and *are* us to a degree).

#TIL Eminem released a sequel to Stan, 13 years later, titled “Bad Guy” — it resolved the story with a poetic justice and explains why he created both Slim Shady and Stan personas… there’s a third persona in this sequel song which connects the first two as a retrospective.
Genius
