<p>When a user wants to return to the navigation bar at the top he scrolls up. The navigation bar then immediately gets nearer.<p>The user discovery happens because the act he performs provides the exact intent you need to give him the shortcut.<p>Also for clarity this is only relevant for content based sites and not apps.
It is vanishingly rare for users to scroll up when reading content unless they want to reach the top</p>

<p>Looking at the main site, seems like it's branded as a "no AI frontend consultant".<p>First time I'm seeing a "no AI" used to differentiate a work for hire.<p>Can't say this wasn't obviously coming. Boutique hand-coded consultancies/software-houses are probably going to spring up a lot.</p>

<p>This is literally the best ux pattern you can have. It is intuitive - user immediately discovers it when performing the obvious action, it increases the user experience (more text to read) without any real downside.<p>It is the first thing I suggest to anyone when I see someone didn't implement it.<p>I've never heard a complaint about it until now.</p>

<p>Apparently Israeli media is reporting that the price is so high that the government is requesting the founders will pay their taxes in USD and not Israeli Shekels in fear that such a large foreign exchange transaction will affect the exchange rate. ( Which is already unusually low and hurting exporters)<p>This would be the first time taxes are paid in a different currency in Israel history.<p>Pretty wild that it's such a large acquisition it can affect a nation's monetary policy.</p>

<p>Are you saying principal engineers and tech minded PMs make lateral moves into director level manager without going through being entry level EMs first?<p>I've never heard of something like that. Usually the requirement for being director level manager of engineers is to at least have managed people as an EM for several years before.</p>

<p>Engineering titles at least have a few things that are nearly universally shared (such as actually needing to code, expecting to mentor).<p>Product manager titles can have completely disjoint scopes of work between organizations - in one org they might be what was once systems designer role - getting requirements and writing specs, in another they might basically be doing UI or UX (even creating pages in figma), in others they are basically project managers.</p>

<p>This is a good method if you are stuck and you don't know what you need to do. It also helps explore a project with a specific task in mind.<p>It is not very useful in giving you confidence your changes would not cause unexpected side effects, which is usually the main problem working with legacy code.<p>If you want confidence when working with legacy code, your best bet is to do a strangler fig pattern - find a boundaries for the module you want to work on, rewrite the module (or clone and make your changes), run both at the same time in shadow mode, monitor and verify your new module is working the same as the old one, then switch and eventually delete the old module.</p>

<p>There is probably a huge chunk of people who only need a slither of the features of a SaaS but are paying for everything they don't need.<p>If your particular use of a SaaS is not susceptible to security issues (for example you can use it on your local laptop) then a slither of features that are insecure is exactly the thing for you.<p>Not everyone is going to replace SaaS with half-baked personal implementations, especially the big companies that most SaaS are aimed at, but it will gnaw out some of the long tail of SaaS subscription revenue for sure.</p>

<p>He did mention that they were fighting the law before they were fined and they plan to challenge the fine in court.
He has also been vocal about other similar legislation before they were enacted or the company got fined (not sure about this specific one though).<p>So I don't think it's fair to characterize it as he "only complains about it when his company is fined".</p>

<p>While I agree with some of it, I feel like there's a big gotcha here that isn't addressed.
Having 1 single wide event, at the end of a request, means that if something unexpected happens in the middle (stack overflow, some bug that throws an error that bypasses your logging system, lambda times out etc...) you don't get any visibility into what happens.<p>You also most likely lose out on a lot of logging frameworks your language has that your dependencies might use.<p>I would say this is a good layer to put on top of your regular logs. Make sure you have a request/session wide id and aggregate all those in your clickhouse or whatever into a single "log".</p>

<p>I think he might be misrepresenting it a bit, but from what I've seen every  software company I know of heavily uses agentic AI to create code (except some highly regulated industries).<p>It has become a standard tool, in the same way that most developers code with an IDE, most developers use agentic AI to start a task (if not to finish it).</p>

<p>From the article:
"All 24 public study Montessori schools met basic Montessori criteria (SI Appendix, section 3A), but implementation varied widely. "<p>"The final implementation criteria for school inclusion were thus:<p>• At least 66% of the lead Primary classroom teachers are trained by one of the two most prominent Montessori
teacher training organizations, the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) or the American Montessori
Society (AMS). One school was excluded on this basis.<p>• No more than two adults, the trained teacher and a non-teaching assistant, in the classroom on a regular basis.
No school was excluded on this basis.<p>• Classrooms are mixed-age, with at least 18 children ranging from 3 to 6 years old. Five schools did not mix
ages so were excluded.<p>• At least a 2-hour uninterrupted free choice period every day. Five schools were excluded on this basis.<p>• Each classroom has at least 80% of the complete set of roughly 150 Montessori Primary materials, and fewer
than 5% of the materials available to children in the classroom are not Montessori materials. No school was
excluded for failing to meet this criterion."<p>So seems like the criteria for this research is fairly good.<p>In general though it's hard to tell if a school is Montessori or not. The method is not trademarked and anyone can claim to be a Montessori school ,or Montessori inspired etc...<p>There are two organizations that certify - AMI, which was created by Maria Montessori's daughter and functions mostly in Europe, and AMS which is an American organization founded by people inspired by the Montessori method.<p>AMI is stricter while AMS is more modern, but most places that identify as Montessori is neither.<p>I would say the best way to identify if a school is Montessori is first if they have mixed-age classrooms, the standard is a 3 year class (so 1-3, 4-6, 7-9...).<p>If all the kids in a class are in the same age, it's not Montessori.<p>Second, for preschool, you expect the class to be very organized with intermittent shelves and work areas, and very neat (no mountain of toys etc...) - <a href="https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=montessori+classroom" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=montessori+classroom</a></p>
