The horrible fear that I'm going to need this in the long term for work.

- Timeline – Time to Play Fair
Despite my fondness for Apple products, I am willing to be critical of Apple when they're being arseholes. They're being massive arseholes, here, to the detriment of their own users. I would very much welcome an option for iOS developers to implement their own payment systems in apps, if they did not wish to give apple a cut, and I hope the EU finds in Spotify's favour.

- Daring Fireball: Life as a Facebook Moderator
The article he's linking to has been doing the rounds, but it's Mr Gruber's critique I found especially resonant, particular this quote: "There is something fundamentally wrong with a platform that – while operating exactly as designed – requires thousands of employees to crush their own souls." I use Facebook these days, but I still think that broadly, we'd all actually be better off if it was simply shut down. I don't think it provides any net benefit that we did not manage better with other tools before it existed.

- Help! None of my projects want to be SPAs | Jason Goldstein
This rings very true. 99% of the project I work on are CUD operation stuff, with limited visual updating. My major use for Vue (which I picked up instead of React) is to simplify my JS form handling a bit, and manage the ajax elements, not really anything clever.

- New AI fake text generator may be too dangerous to release, say creators | Technology | The Guardian
If I were a professional fiction writer, I'd be scared right now. This tells me that automating the job of producing fiction just got a generation closer. (I mean, I guess, counterpoint – write an outline, get a novel.)

- 11 Awesome Laravel Helper Functions (that aren’t in Laravel)
Yes, these are lovely. - TablePlus | Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
