  • I’m currently using Samsung Internet with content blockers. Firefox on my Android phone has micro stutters that are driving me crazy. The only browser that doesn’t have that weird Android scrolling micro stutters are Samsung Internet, weirdly. So I’ve been using it for years even on non Samsung phones.





  • This really grinds my gears especially when working with the junior devs. They are always preaching about this new hot library and tried to refactor the whole app based on this cool article written by some well known developer. When I asked about their reasoning behind the chance they’re only able to link the blogpost made saying that X is bad and Y is the way going forward. I asked them what situation where they actually cannot solve an issue using X in a project and whether they can prove that using Y is the panacea for all of our woes, they all go silent.

    Afterwards I always tell them it’s fine to look for new ways to do things. But before you go to try to propose such a big change at least write some PoC demonstrating the strength of the new thing when they have some downtime.



  • That’s why I use Z Fold now. Small phone width when folded, big ass screen when you’re lounging and have the other hand free to use the phone. I can’t even use the regular slab phone now because I’m used to the narrow cover screen.

    People say that the phone is thick when folded but I found out that it made the phone easier to hold due to its thickness. I’m also the kind of guy who uses a phone for the long term, my previous phone was a ROG Phone 2 that I used for four years. I decided to upgrade because most of my work now is done on my phone while I’m out and about and having a larger screen to review some documents has been a lifesaver for me.
