In my memory, Steve Ballmer is forever linked to the famous "Developers" dance. There was a time when Microsoft stood as a faithful advocate for software developers, and Ballmer, drenched in sweat and passionately shouting "developers," was a hero of the late 1990s. However, his reputation

Seven years ago, I made my first PR (or, more accurately, a Diff at the time) at Moloco. It was about a week after I joined, and the task involved writing some Javascript code to parse and format CSV data in the browser. I felt a sense of accomplishment—it

It seems to have become my annual tradition to gripe about each year's WWDC. In fact, I realized I had started the last year's post with almost the same sentiment. When I watched the first half of this year's keynote, I was nearly ready

In my last post about the Karol G concert, I wondered how the Cyalume (LED Wristband) works. And I found the answer. Though I prefer NYT to WSJ, I believe WSJ has been doing great work on their YouTube channel. The beauty of its videos is the short playtime: 5

While Twitter is devastating itself, Meta announced its Twitter killer wannabe: Threads, an Instagram app. I'm uncertain if this is the primary reason for the unusual PvP clash between two tech celebrities, but I am also optimistic about Threads. While I appreciate Mastodon and the elegant Ivory, they

Now it is my annual ritual to complain online-only WWDC. Four years have passed since the last in-person WWDC (2019). I'm so sorry that I couldn't complain about sad bagels - bagels without the toaster. However, the "no innovations at WWDC" phrase wouldn'

Silicon Valley Bank fell down last Friday. The shocking news swirled in my company's Slack channel Friday morning. I didn't have much regard for it because I didn't have any accounts in SVB. But I realized it was not others' affair when I

Mark Zuckerberg said that this year would be his "Year of Efficiency." Eliminating redundancies and improving efficiency by flattening sounds reasonable strategy. At least, he looks like a working CEO - although there seemed to be some back blasts. But I believe the layers in Meta haven'

I couldn't put down anything last week, partly because of the 49er's loss, but the root cause was I was busy setting up my new M2 Macbook Pro - her name is Miorine. I've been trying to separate my work environment from a private

Ivory made me pleasant to use Mastodon in terms of the UX. But I had used Twitter mainly as a news provider, and I couldn't make a progress with it. I could add (@macrumors@mastodon.social) and 9to5Mac (@9to5Mac@mastodon.online) to my list, but still, I have

Ivory was released today as an early access (iOS); it was much faster than I expected. I downloaded it immediately and subscribed Premier Yearly Plan ($24.99). They also have a Pro Yearly Plan ($14.99), and both plans have totally the same features. Premier only gave the developer more

Elon Musk finalized his $44B deal last Thursday. He brought a sink to Twitter HQ last Wednesday. I'm not sure what he wanted to sink in, but I got that he thought Twitter was stuck with something and wanted to show off himself as a savior. Many worried
