Although JavaScriptCore is excellent, many developer tools rely on features or behaviors only present in Google’s V8 JavaScript interpreter. Similarly, WebKit is

Hey-llo, Goodbye

Well this all sucks, doesn’t it? Ugh. Anyway, my buddy Andy Nicolaides tweeted this today: I’ve never known an email service to have people so undecided about using it (moral issue aside). That, to me, seems like such a red flag. Nothing that is right for people should be _this_ hard to commit

It’s Hard to Write Nice Things

I think many people would use the word “nice” to describe me. I’m not controversial, I’m not actively out to get anyone, and for better or worse, I generally want everyone to like me. That said, I often find it hard to think of something to write about that isn’t “this thing

Pixel Brand Loyalty is Dropping

According to a new report from SellCell (via 9to5Google), Pixel owners are becoming less loyal, starting back in 2019. This makes total sense, though. 2016 Google makes their first Pixel device, which is not cutting edge in every way, but it has a good camera and has a major focus on Google Assistant. It feels
