Love polar bears! Wants to be a freelancer in who knows what field in future. Willing to eat bread for 3 meals a day in future.

Do you like the new X app logo?

My stupidity has led me to crack my barely 2 week old phone that I've waited 2 months for. Sometimes I really wonder about my intelligence.

After two months since ordering I finally received my Pixel 6!

Property agent tried smoking a price but thanks to https://t.co/zNGFhx2OHV, I now have great clarity.

Got it, so sell something for $10m. Easy peasy.

My wife and I paid off our $500k mortgage in 2 years by doing the following:
- Worked 9-5, saved aggressively
- Cut our avocado toast and boozy brunches
- Sold a startup for $10m in cash

It’s that simple

Yes Refactoring UI booking is 🔥

"Your UI doesn't need to map one-to-one with your data's fields and values". Great thinking on simplicity from @steveschoger (whose Refactoring UI book is A+)

Don't show this to Flutter devs 🙈.

We ran a few benchmarking algorithms with our React Native JSI project to compare Flutter vs React Native performance.
See following tweet for results and source code 👇 1/3

Note to self: Never ever think that PWA support is similar to supporting iOS/Android using React Native. Clients just expect a totally different platform altogether (regardless of what they say). Yet another lesson to learn.

Sadden that HSBC don't see me as their customer :( Self-employed problems I guess.

New Zealand plans lifetime ban on cigarette sales to stamp out smoking https://t.co/AbYUypIk9v

After explaining for 2 whole weeks the organization decided to just not care about all that I've submitted and used other historical data to reimburse me. A bit salty because this historical data is much less as compared to the ones I submitted. Oh well.

Which do you fear more? The known unknowns or the unknown unknowns?

Spent almost an entire day on a cross platform app editing the wrong platform specific file and wondering why things aren't working...

[Lee Qixian @swiftpolar]

@mynameis_davis The problem is many non technical cofounders are trying to find technical cofounders on purely the promise of a great idea and a promising future. That to many devs is never enough.

As a web developer this is one of the happiest announcements in a while: Google Search ended support for IE11 in its main product 🎉 (you can still search but will get a fallback experience). I'm mostly posting this so you can send it to your boss 😛. We did the Math. It is time.

Pressed confirmed delivery when I meant to raise an issue with the delivery... (order has yet been delivered that is...) funny how the brain works. Confirmation was a two step process too...

[Lee Qixian @swiftpolar]

Always feel that the whole implementation of manually checking if a payment is made and valid is absolutely ridiculous.

AsiaOne: Some hawkers not too keen on cashless payments after customers repeatedly dupe them.

I mean the "compensation" voucher doesn't even include the delivery fee for the next order so if I just want my other item I must bear the cost of the Platform not being able to fulfill my order.

[Lee Qixian @swiftpolar]

Yet another horrendous experience with @foodpandasg this time with panda mart, or should I call them ninja mart... Placed an order for two items, one of the item was not available and they didn't even call or inform me that it isn't available.

[Lee Qixian @swiftpolar]

So basically this just meant that I paid full delivery for an incomplete order. In the event that none of my items were available they would deliver me an empty plastic bag and charge me for it? @foodpandasg
