this is neat, 'first review time' is definitely one of those softer metrics that can make a meaningful difference


True in the case of React Native bullshit, false in the case of a native app that isn't just CRUD. A senior without android experience could jump on the apps that are glorified websites and be productive relatively quickly.

A senior without android experience is going to have to learn the platform; this will take longer than learning the language. The pace of change updates the best practices often enough to serve as a kind of catch-up mechanic but native mobile does in fact require domain knowledge. I would be comfortable putting a senior iOS dev on native android but certainly not as the lead.


Love this. Would be cool if there was an option to somewhat normalize the sizes. I find myself more often choosing the one I can see more clearly since it is larger, but not sure I'd make the same choice is the smaller font was bumped up to 17 or somesuch.


agree, it just looks to me like standard fare of the 16 bit era


give Obsidian a look


Intersex people are male or female. Male/female comes down to gametes and intersex does not somehow prove that biological sex is a spectrum.


"rare" doesn't mean "never". Caster Semenya is an Olympic candidate who is getting disqualified from some women's racing events because she is intersex and has just a little bit too much biological masculinity to compete as a woman.


See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

I don't think anyone's claiming that "biological sex is a spectrum", but some people "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies". Some are born with ambiguous external genitalia, but there are also people who look completely female while having male (XY) chromosomes. Since various distinct medical conditions are involved, it doesn't make sense to call it a "spectrum" even from a medical point of view.


Spectrum doesn't mean 1 dimensional.


Some people don't produce gametes.


The scope of the biological study of sex is, in fact, broader than the presence of a Y chromosome.


I needed to setup a separate office for work stuff and work stuff only before I really got into a WFH rhythm. Definitely have experiences that match yours in office environment.


Same. I had to physically separate myself from my personal computer because I frequently found myself working on side projects, playing video games, or literally anything else that grabbed my attention.


should someone have perhaps roasted their landing page I wonder


Halifax anyone?


I would think that having multiple universities within the city disqualifies it from being called a 'small town'.
