I tried reading this but the pop ups are so annoying that I couldn’t get past the first paragraph.


Completely agree. I had to turn on iOS reader mode to tolerate it. But then it was very worthwhile.


I have been switching back and forth between Chrome/Chrome Canary and Firefox/Firefox Dev Edition, and I think I've finally come to the conclusion that Firefox is my preferred source, especially as a web developer. There's small things the dev tools does that I really appreciate, like showing variable types by default.

Also, the constant updates to the dev tools like the Shape Path Editor is amazing!


I feel like using Stack Overflow as a reference and not as an "answer" is the way to go.

I get that a lot of the time you get your answer, but reading the answer and understanding it is why Stack Overflow is so beneficial. Yes it does save time but it should be used to learn.


I feel for both sides of this issue. As a consumer I am upset that I am essentially being forced to either buy a new iPhone or do my repair via Apple (do they even do all repairs?). Although, as a business I understand not wanting third party repairs as those can damage your brand if done incorrectly.


I feel for both sides of this. On one hand, as a consumer, I think it's unfair to force users to either buy a new iPhone or do repairs via Apple (do they even do them all?). As a business, I understand how non-Apple repairs can damage a brand.


I used to have a problem logging onto Facebook, Twitter, and other social medias every few minutes. Even while I was at work. It was really bad. Every time I had a spare second that's immediately where I went.

What I learned in one of my courses where we talked about addictions, is that people with addictive personalities tend to replace one addiction with another. Now, saying this doesn't present it as a positive thing, but it can be.

I started by completely taking these socials medias out of my life for a whole entire month, strictly. I didn't get on a single time to any of them once. And I replaced the addictions with something else. At first I thought maybe games would be good, but it was hard to get on my phone without going to these sites. So what I did is I replaced them with reading. I would take 2 minutes to read a couple pages, read on my ten minute breaks, read on my lunches, etc.

You don't have to do that, although I recommend it, but I would try to replace it with something that didn't have access to it, and then you'll have more control over it.


This is a really good point. I've deactivated my Facebook account (going on 4 months, feeling much happier without it) and one of the "addictions" I've replaced it with is Duolingo. If I know I'm going to be addicted to some kind of distraction, learning a language (of a country I hope to move to one day) makes it a much more positive thing in my life.
