🧵(3/4) I was really not prepared for how many businesses and sectors were ready to give up on producing quality end products/experiences.
Will the next ten years just be filled with me getting angry as all the services and products I use fall apart?
It took me a long time to get here, but I finally got my hands on a La Marzocco GS3 for my coffee set-up. Can't wait to start making coffee with it!!
I would really love to stop paying for Grammarly. Spelling and grammar often jumble themselves in my head. Does anyone have some good recommendations on alternatives?
I never need it on my phone. People I care enough about to text can suck it, lol. I only use it in browsers and apps when I write.

🧵(4/4) Sure, I can often navigate around poor software when forced to, but what about people who don't work in tech? What about people with disabilities?
I remember the first time I watch a visually impaired person use the internet I realised why doing my job well was important.
Quality matters.

- 4-second page load
- 16 seconds LCP
- Three flashes on load for mobile
- Scrolling can lock when clicking the nav menu
... and so much more. Also, they built their own custom CMS.
Same in Software. People no longer care about quality. Bad UX choices, more expensive architecture, and overcomplicated systems are being pushed to production as quickly as possible. Don't even get me started on all the unthought-out ideas being pushed there, too.
Great issue of the @apisyouwonthate.com newsletter this week. My thoughts on Stainless being acquired and shut down by Anthropic. Along with Express getting a fresh coat of paint, Arazzo V1.1.0 and more. Check out the latest issue:
