it is easy: give up on hardware and focus on games


hmmm, that does not make sense. for one, xbox competes with playstation and playstation is definitely not designed for kids.

second, nintendo exists for "family friendly" market.


I guess kids suggests someone quite young, but my impression was they (xbox and playstation) were built for people in high school and younger, which is why the product makes sense. As OP pointed out, if you were 35 just getting into gaming you'd just buy a desktop.

Consoles like Xbox serve parents who aren't tech-savvy enough to hunt for PC deals and don't want their kid to have free access to the internet.

For what its worth I used to work on a parental controls app startup and this is a consensus I found talking to customers (parents), they like their devices to do one narrow thing so they can control how their child spends their free time. There are of course adults who play it but this is the core of the market, and the strongest value-add in my opinion.


Nintendo's offering is absolutely the "for kids" console.


ehh, it is pretty standard. in fact, todo app is the standard hello world for any GUI framework. it has been standard for js frameworks from before js fatigue started


so, finally ipad 8th gen support is over. any idea if performance improvements would be released to 8th gen as feature update?


i suggest changing the name to something that is related to react. or atleast unrelated to Vue (the logo seems Vue inspired)


that's an intersting choice of name. on first glance, i thought it is related to Vue. i think you should change the name to be more associated with react like Ceact etc.

or atleast something does not immidately screams Vue, like the logo does.


beware! using AI for middle management is how you speedrun to dystopia. Bad Managers can be fired, good managers can manage up. on other hand, "bad" AI will remain and continue to be dystopic, and "good" AI will be killed by higher management for being not being a doormat.


C suites typically aren't middle management though.

Software Engineer with 11 yrs of experience. I have owned and architected core infrastructure tools and led multiple org wide (20+ microservices) migrations.

I have been laid off from microsoft in august. So, i can join immediately.


it is made by Microsoft employees, not Satya. Microsoft employees have various degrees of freedom on what level of quality to target

with absence of QA, quality is going downhill. thanks to AI mandate, quality is going downhill a lot faster


it can be. you just need competence and incentive for it.

see File pilot as an example of what is possible when competent software engineer attempts it
