  • The real estate requirements are real and if you don’t have the space it simply won’t work - but they are absolutely fine for text legibility. An important thing to remember is that, because you’re viewing the reflection of the image instead of having a backlit screen, (outside of matte e-ink options) I’ve found it a lot less fatiguing on my vision than a traditional monitor. So, while I still prefer dark mode out of habit, even bright sections of the image for extended periods of time doesn’t make my eyes sore in the same way. Lastly, as someone who wanders and dances while they work - it’s much easier to keep focus on the screen as I migrate.

    I’m sure it’s not for everyone but it’s an extremely comfortable way for me to code.



  • Yea… Microsoft has a history of doing this a lot… their “concession” to being a large software developer is that each version of an app seems to have an entirely different team that develops independently from the other platform versions (the best you can say is that they occasionally borrow good features from one another).

    I recently got forcefully switched to “New Teams” at work which is a strict downgrade and doesn’t support half the shit the browser app (which, as a reminder, is a weird Frankenstein of calendar and email) supports. It also absolutely bombards users with unnecessary notifications that need to be individually muted.

    Never have I appreciated Google more than when I was forced from GSuite to SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Visio, etc…
