U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly
  • I liked this paragraph from the filing, felt like a slight dig at their think different marketing:

    Apple keenly understands that while a community of developers and accessory makers is indispensable to the success of the iPhone , they also pose an existential threat to its extraordinary profits by empowering consumers to "think different" and choose perfectly functional , less-expensive alternative smartphones .

  • My boss told me, after pointing out a small mistake in my code, that "if someone cares enough about their work, they won't make little mistakes like this"

    It is one of my biggest pet peeves surrounding how people often misunderstand performance for someone with ADHD like myself. Of course everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but those with ADHD often struggle with making little mistakes, and often have to try even harder to avoid those types of mistakes. I care deeply about my work, and I struggled in my younger years with feelings of inadequacy, and when people chalked my mistakes or under-performing to some sort of moral failing, it really hurt. These days, through better understanding of ADHD, and how my brain works and what its quirks are, I don't feel inadequate, but I still get angry when I encounter it. Don't you dare tell me I don't care about my work because I made a mistake.

    For the curious, I did this in my code: {{ conditional }} instead of {% conditional %} in a Twig template by accident.
