I remember watching those kitetail streams

I was like "holy shit. of course!" and was very anxious for you to release what is now tailwind.

I had to start a new project before you did, and ended up rolling my own very basic and muchly inferior version for the project.

tailwind is one of the top 10, maybe top 5, web technologies of the last decade (imo).

congrats on the success and thanks for all the relentless attention to detail, care, and effort!

saying apple has 1/3 market share is intellectually dishonest. iPhones make up, easily, 50% of the market in the USA and the USA generates the most revenue on the app store, more than 8 of the remaining top 10 combined.

Compared to the play store, the iOS app store is twice the size, and the USA apple store revenue is equal to half of the GLOBAL Google play store revenue.

to say they "only" have 1/3 of the market is silly.

the difference is simple: AWS does not gate keep the internet. if you want to produce a web application, you can choose ANY host and you can reach a global audience.

compare that to apple - to reach people on their mobile device, you MUST deploy on their platform and you MUST pay them a 30% toll to do it.

In 2012 when apps were mostly fart apps, and global smart phone adoption was no where near what it is today - sure. but now our phones have become an INTEGRAL part of society, every day life, work, everything.

app developers have no choice. if your business touches customers who demand mobile accessibility, you have to pay apple.

@dhh glad someone had the balls to say it.

passkeys suck.

that's the nature of healthcare in the US unfortunately. The provider can bill whatever they want, but the insurance is only going to pay what they have agreed to pay. And the provider can't pass the difference to you because that was part of the agreement.

It's totally used as a way to price-anchor healthcare. And it leaves us in a spot where healthcare prices continue to skyrocket because there is very little price accountability, and the end-user's choice is: pay, or die :/

postgres, in my experience, is more difficult to manage and is not as wildly supported as MySQL/MariaDB. That's not to say it isn't better, it's just a new learning curve to get through when there isn't a compelling enough reason to switch from something you know, are familiar with, and that works well (enough).

[entropy.og @entropy256]

@BodhiHawken @thdxr there is a certain freedom that comes from using something like a zapier webhook to support one-off business requests that aren't core to your product or service.

it's been a _very_ long time since I've tried to use a Linux system as a primary machine. back then, the quality of the GUI was loathsome. windows is a non-starter. has Linux caught up to Mac is in terms of a GUI that doesn't look awful?

agree macs are v. expensive, but they def don't suck.

@aji_ragillio @taylorotwell name _any_ framework better than Laravel...

[entropy.og @entropy256]

my take on this article is basically: WordPress isn't as focused on PHP for the developer experience anymore. and as such, less people are writing it, because so many developers were specifically WordPress plugin/site developers.

so I think the statistic is misleading. probably that PHP was never that high to begin with, if you excluded WordPress usage.

and, frankly, the applications that are built on WordPress are _very_ different than the types of applications built with Laravel. I think the vent diagram of PHP devs that use Laravel, and WordPress developers, has little overlap.

this is all just my take on the statistic, and this article, based on my experiences. I could be off...but it seems logical to me.

@gas_biz @coolaircoil in areas where there are no Sheetz or Wawa, what is holding independent businesses from filling that niche?

Is there some economy to scale that an independent owner has more trouble reaching than those big brands that makes 1-5 locations harder to manage/profit?
