  • ‘Don’t reinvent the wheel’. If the earliest (re-)invention of the wheel, known to us, was flawless, it wouldn’t have been reinvented so many times. There will always be new obstacles, new scenarios and new expectations. I get it. It’s intended as a reminder to look up existing solutions for a problem before starting entirely from scratch. But, especially in software development, where this phrase is often used, this reminder is rarely necessary…

    She, as an obese person herself, proposed that “obese” is equivalent to the n-word. She didn’t censor her word the same way a black person doesn’t have to censor the n-word. That’s not a contradiction. It would be, if she wasn’t obese.

    Not that I care about the actual point, just wanted to talk about the logic. My bad, if my assumption that she is obese, is wrong.

    Definitely. But if this specific feature, that isn’t even primarily intended as an accessibility feature, has apparently not been available before in this form, does it make sense to call out Spotify for making that feature available “only” limited on the free version?

    But yes, I’m aware of the community I’m on right now :D






  • Thanks for the suggestions! Some have been already on my reading list, because they went into that direction and others I’ve added. I’m not sure, if my wording was understood 100% and if these books are what I’m looking for, but I guess the acknowledgement of the recursion would be a surprise element anyway. Thanks again!
