00:04:35 ◼   ► having something like that and deciding even though having wanna watch for [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► basically my entire adult life now I'm going to start working on the only [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► scenario I can see that happening is if I eventually get an iPhone and there's [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► some sort of integration and where this is like a more convenient way to get [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► information without taking out your phone or something but even that's a [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► stretch especially considering entering an iPhone via I mean I think it's it's [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► also worth considering a note on my catch phrases but it's also worth [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► considering that you know if if you would have asked people in late 2006 you [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► know would you be apple released a phone with no buttons and no removable battery [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► and no keyboard would you buy it you know a lot of people but no I feel did [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► say that and when it was first announced but now we're all using either that or [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► something very similar to it from somebody else and except for you but [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► everybody else on this podcast and many other people in the world who have the [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► means to get a smartphone go with an option very similar to that and so you [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► know I have to wonder what could they do in the in the water watch like area and [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► chances are I mean whenever people try to predict Apple products like new new [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► categories before they're not just saw this is gonna get a faster CPU next week [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► who cares whatever he will try to predict Apple products they almost [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► always can only predict it in the context of what we know today for [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► instance if you look back only like a month ago looked back at the predictions [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► for the mockups for what a flat iOS redesign would look like [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► and so many designers made these anchors the rumors were that Apple's redesigning [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► iOS and it's gonna look off flat not far from the truth but you know what [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► everybody came up with was basically iOS 6-2 gradients and it looked like this [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► even the same color palette all the same funds all the same layouts all the same [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► everything except they just removed the gradients basically and it was not [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► nearly imaginative enough and Apple of course had radically different plans in [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► mind for iOS 7 which now we know about and and and by the way a lot of it goes [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► beyond just removing creations and the colors and most of the fat weight but I [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► have to wonder in the water or in the way of the world even know what what are [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► they gonna do that no one's really going to predict and obviously by definition [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► we're gonna have trouble protecting us but I wouldn't write off the idea just [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► yet [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► Oh what if they are they going to watch am I gonna we're not because they really [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► are more likely to do something that we hadn't really considered [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► I'm asking myself as i'm listening to you is what it what is Apple solving by [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► having a watch that smarter than your average watch and the obvious answer is [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► well it's another way it's a it's a second screen for the device that's [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► already called the second screen but it it's a second screens you not to pull [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► your phone out of your pocket which is a total first world problem but I feel [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► like they would do more than that that's not enough and I i keep thinking in my [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► head well I think Tim Cook mentioned that he was a fuel man like you would [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► said a moment ago for not mistaken he said he wears FuelBand I know that a lot [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► of people have tidbits and I know that like Aaron my wife for example as if it [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► didn't she likes it but it's not terribly accurate and so my thought is [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► well maybe this watch will have some sort of much more accurate sensor that [TS]

00:08:20 ◼   ► will have some sort of really nice integration kinda like Nike Plus but [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► better but then again I can't envision how you can make a better sensor than [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► what we've heard he got so I don't know what problem Apple's solving with this [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► phantom watch but I got to imagine [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► gonna be something that we didn't expect just like you were saying Marco despite [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► the fact that I don't have an iPhone and I have been on board with the idea of [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► Apple producing something that attaches to your restore some other part in some [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► small thing small device like that because it makes a lot of sense from [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► Apple's first like that for a lot of reasons I think we went through these [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► Twitter maybe someone blogged about a while back but like back when they do i [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► want for christmas came out people just listing reasons make sense it it's a [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► consumer electronic device Apple's good at making them one of deals with [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► companies and you know manufacturing so it's right in the wheelhouse not like [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► they're making you know when Melzer something they're gonna be cheap right [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► you presume that like you can't make anything that's not that's small not [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► expenses like me and diamonds right so it's an expensive inexpensive means you [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► can sell a lot of them because a lot of people can afford them you don't have to [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► have someone who can afford 200 300 other phone plus a two-year contract or [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► something everyone you know something is cheapest iMac it's going to be [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► presumably very cheap and that means they can see a lot of them and a lot of [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► people are eligible to buy this thing especially if they don't tight any of [TS]

00:09:46 ◼   ► their marksman devices it's cheap and who who can't buy one you don't need to [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► be a Mac user PC user you need to be computer savvy you don't need to have it [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► up to your television and have a cable subscription or anything else that's [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► just kind of like a small recently and expensive thing that presumably good [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► margins on because it would really be cheap for them to make enough so you [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► know forty fifty percent margin on this not crazy to think of and this seems [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► like a pretty good progress characteristics that fit with something [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► that Apple could sell a ton of a good margin and thats not outside its its [TS]

00:10:18 ◼   ► realm of things that normally makes and then you really only question left with [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► this alright well why would anyone ever buy this thing all these characteristics [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► I agree with you saw them along with plastic protective oxide cost you $25 to [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► make you know when you're make millions of dollars and I think it's probably not [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► that complicated like Casey was saying all right so it's it's presumably this [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► thing has a screen and [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► presumably I can do stuff with it that I would normally have to take my phone on [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► or before but that's not important enough reason for another pocket if [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► everything comes together in the right way and Apple does a good job with this [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► product I think that those those advantages that we scoff at now are [TS]

00:11:03 ◼   ► exactly the thing that will make this a big seller and addictive device again if [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► they do a good job is not defacto if they make something that's a smart [TS]

00:11:11 ◼   ► watches fulfill this but what I'm thinking of us something about this blog [TS]

00:11:16 ◼   ► while back that technological conservatism article where anything you [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► described it doesn't exist now that removes some tiny minor annoyance [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► real-life sounds ridiculous like goes it would be like my phone in my pocket so [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► hard dick into my pocket then ripped the phone out of my pocket of my face turn [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► my eyes to look at the thing that's so much harder than having to turn my wrist [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► do not like it's not that much harder and you can make fun of people for [TS]

00:11:42 ◼   ► having this thing but if you get used to doing the ever so slightly easier thing [TS]

00:11:46 ◼   ► it becomes annoying to go back to the old thing and you know these things [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► build up in a series of nonetheless I didn't and my article explaining like to [TS]

00:11:56 ◼   ► look at any past invention you could've pooh-poohed it with the same exact thing [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► and yet if you go back seventeen of these inventions known to live in a [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► world without you know twenty or thirty or forty these things but they'll build [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► on each other so if they can make this even just a little bit less annoying [TS]

00:12:09 ◼   ► than something that we do now even if you were to describe it and it sounds [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► ridiculous I think that that's enough if it's a good product of people like it it [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► makes our lives a little bit better and it's not that expensive it does maybe [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► want to do things to get people in the door to get that critical mass once you [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► get used to having it and provide some benefit to you even if the benefit [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► sounds incredibly lame and makes you sound like a terrible personnel first [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► world problem and who need this thing and yet made fun of on the news and [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► everything people keep doing it just think of all the things are like they're [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► like not right now the smartphone itself I think that's enough if they do a good [TS]

00:12:44 ◼   ► job of the products on I'm looking forward to what day produced again now [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► that I think I'll get one but who knows [TS]

00:12:52 ◼   ► like the thing is I think a lot of people listening and people send [TS]

00:12:56 ◼   ► feedback [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► get tied up with the idea of like what we like and use and what we think will [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► be successful and is a good idea or not the same thing necessarily like all I [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► think very aware of what our wants and needs are not the same as everyone [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► else's and there's no reason that a product that we choose not to buy is [TS]

00:13:13 ◼   ► necessarily a bad product or vice versa [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► I think you know a lot of people like trying to figure out you know what kind [TS]

00:13:21 ◼   ► of Harbor the watch will happen and what it what else about that and I think you [TS]

00:13:25 ◼   ► mentioned a little bit about this to you know whether it would be kind of a [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► stand-alone thing with its own its own device what they would have its own [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► storage or be able to run its own apps what kind of centuries it would have my [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► guess if they actually go through with what this and if the swatches real thing [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► and and there there sure is a lot of smoke you know around that there's [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► there's probably something they're all the all the technology is there [TS]

00:13:51 ◼   ► obviously look at things like the pebble and other one whose name I forget but if [TS]

00:13:58 ◼   ► you look at things like that obviously technology is there to do a SmartWatch [TS]

00:14:03 ◼   ► but i i think it's always going to be viewed as an accessory to another iOS [TS]

00:14:09 ◼   ► devices like just like not quite a second screen necessarily people use [TS]

00:14:15 ◼   ► that term a lot I think that's most of the way there but I i really see it as [TS]

00:14:18 ◼   ► like like for instance you've gotta figure out the power and will appear [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► this thing is not going to have its own GPS chip it's probably not gonna have [TS]

00:14:25 ◼   ► many sensors can have things like like a pedometer and accelerometer your biggest [TS]

00:14:33 ◼   ► problem is the same thing you can have things like that but it's probably not [TS]

00:14:36 ◼   ► going to have a lot of its own power it's probably gonna be just like almost [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► like like a Bluetooth headset kind level of processing you know just its own [TS]

00:14:46 ◼   ► Bluetooth thing using low-power stuff for piano whatever that is and and just [TS]

00:14:54 ◼   ► end it would use your other iOS device and it might not have to be an iPhone [TS]

00:14:57 ◼   ► maybe can use an iPod touch and iPad who knows it can use your other iOS device [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► nearby [TS]

00:15:04 ◼   ► over Bluetooth to do any kind of heavy lifting or even the iOS device controls [TS]

00:15:08 ◼   ► it or god forbid a web application and also you know look at things like member [TS]

00:15:16 ◼   ► when when panic tore apart the HDMI Thunderbolt adapter or navigation by [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► lightning adapter and and found this tiny little ARM processor in the figure [TS]

00:15:29 ◼   ► out that you know it's basically like a little tiny ARM chip running a little [TS]

00:15:33 ◼   ► tiny embedded version of airplay that's a perfect size things going to watch [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► your show of shows something like that in a watch with almost all of russian [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► space being taken up by a big battery and a very very thin screen on top with [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► the screen even to be touch screen has had you know you can't really as as the [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► current iPod nano and that's a touch screen right it is I want to talk about [TS]

00:15:58 ◼   ► that a little bit more I see this little thing has basically an iPod replacement [TS]

00:16:03 ◼   ► because I used iPod shuffle and the only thing I think it may be having its like [TS]

00:16:06 ◼   ► a lot of people are looking for an iPod as small as possible special like a rose [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► or something like that there's no reason to think couldn't play audio with an [TS]

00:16:13 ◼   ► incredible battery life except for the niggling details how does that get into [TS]

00:16:18 ◼   ► my years because you're not going to have a cord running rest of two years [TS]

00:16:21 ◼   ► but it has Bluetooth Bluetooth earbuds or something like that is that is a [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► solution that would be attractive to with all the current people who buy the [TS]

00:16:29 ◼   ► iPod shuffle again a bunch of almost cost them at this point 15 bucks to make [TS]

00:16:32 ◼   ► myself like 3949 no I don't I don't see this thing having a lot of storage those [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► I mean I really I really see this thing has like for this to be good it can be [TS]

00:16:41 ◼   ► very bulky it can be very big and so you're talking a very very time and [TS]

00:16:46 ◼   ► space in there and all the spaces dared must be dedicated to the battery is [TS]

00:16:49 ◼   ► gonna be really challenging to get big do you think the battery is in the [TS]

00:16:53 ◼   ► shuffle shuffle is tiny and most of the rooms taken up by humongous buttons and [TS]

00:16:58 ◼   ► switches that will not be need to be on this thing the battery must be just [TS]

00:17:01 ◼   ► cruise plays audio for hours and hours and I i think is spent a while but I [TS]

00:17:06 ◼   ► think especially if they do they call this prototype stuff like you know [TS]

00:17:10 ◼   ► curved glass order basically spreading the mass out in the curve shape around [TS]

00:17:14 ◼   ► your wrist gives you a lot more volume [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► in making like the terrible terrible things like you know a box of Matchbox [TS]

00:17:20 ◼   ► sitting on top of your wrist strap I imagine this device spreading the volume [TS]

00:17:25 ◼   ► of the stuff inside it across a much larger area than just having a box in a [TS]

00:17:30 ◼   ► strapless boxes strap would not be Apple style so I think they have room for [TS]

00:17:34 ◼   ► enough storage to say contain a bunch of podcast and a low-power Bluetooth [TS]

00:17:39 ◼   ► incurred a net maybe BurJuman isn't that great whenever I don't think we expect [TS]

00:17:43 ◼   ► to see this until next year but I think they could pull it off [TS]

00:17:45 ◼   ► basically an iPod shuffle plus a pedometer plus some kind of you know [TS]

00:17:51 ◼   ► screaming to give you information from somewhere and that's it you know I have [TS]

00:17:56 ◼   ► a couple thoughts about this [TS]

00:17:57 ◼   ► firstly a lot of times and I can't even wrap my brain trying to think of an [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► affects the way I think about my dot net code and so one of the ways that I stay [TS]

00:36:35 ◼   ► fit as a developer is by trying to learn new things always and man do I get [TS]

00:36:42 ◼   ► grumpy from not wanting jobs because I've been holdin not learned stuff and [TS]

00:36:48 ◼   ► it drives me nuts and I i was just curious do you do you have anything [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► you'd like to add in terms of what keeps you sharp as a developer coffee John [TS]

00:37:00 ◼   ► email I don't know if you guys resent someone asked me last week I think I was [TS]

00:37:06 ◼   ► mentioning how once you know the basic concepts you can pick up any programming [TS]

00:37:11 ◼   ► language because all they're doing is just look for what the equivalence of [TS]

00:37:14 ◼   ► this concept is not like it ever found unity some critical mass of concepts so [TS]

00:37:19 ◼   ► if you've never used language that object oriented and you try to earn [TS]

00:37:23 ◼   ► money is you have a hurdle to overcome before you figure out the language first [TS]

00:37:27 ◼   ► understand what object orientation is in various parts of it and second how does [TS]

00:37:30 ◼   ► this language do those things right and what you have this collection of [TS]

00:37:34 ◼   ► concepts you can pick up anything and someone asked what are those concepts [TS]

00:37:36 ◼   ► like what are the laundry list of concepts that critical mass and what I [TS]

00:37:41 ◼   ► told this person was basically like when I thought of let me see what they're [TS]

00:37:46 ◼   ► only doing it actually pretty darn long list especially when you get into [TS]

00:37:50 ◼   ► specifics like concepts that are specific to go programming and [TS]

00:37:57 ◼   ► delegation [TS]

00:37:58 ◼   ► you know I've been bubbling and things that are related to a sort of user [TS]

00:38:02 ◼   ► interface type to get this laundry list for each one of those things and you [TS]

00:38:07 ◼   ► know the server side programming whatever but so they just I thought [TS]

00:38:11 ◼   ► making a list was not useful because it looks really actually is pretty long and [TS]

00:38:14 ◼   ► the best thing for you to really do is to not try to go out and ok now known [TS]

00:38:18 ◼   ► about the concept of coverage about the concepts and functional program now [TS]

00:38:22 ◼   ► going to learn about the concepts you know closures and carrying stuff like [TS]

00:38:25 ◼   ► you will not be successful by doing that the best thing to do is find a language [TS]

00:38:30 ◼   ► that you're interested in using for a project that has one of these concerts [TS]

00:38:33 ◼   ► you want to learn and do the project and then try a different language that [TS]

00:38:37 ◼   ► happens have some other concepts and do a project in a language like you can't [TS]

00:38:41 ◼   ► learn the concepts by like academically trying to learn what you have to do is a [TS]

00:38:45 ◼   ► series of projects each one of which touches on one of these new concepts and [TS]

00:38:48 ◼   ► that's why I was saying like once you've been especially when the two of them [TS]

00:38:51 ◼   ► were using on T nine regions frameworks and API's I can keep changing all the [TS]

00:38:55 ◼   ► time [TS]

00:38:55 ◼   ► once you've been a programmer for a long period of time you pick these things up [TS]

00:38:58 ◼   ► and I don't know if there's any shortcut I don't think you can like get the book [TS]

00:39:02 ◼   ► with all the concepts learn the concepts and say now even though I know 01 [TS]

00:39:06 ◼   ► languages I'm ready for any language you have to have done real projects with [TS]

00:39:10 ◼   ► real API's would be all products and once you get enough of them in their [TS]

00:39:14 ◼   ► different enough that builds up sort of like this base of knowledge and then [TS]

00:39:19 ◼   ► you're free to you know pick up anything much more quickly so my advice is to [TS]

00:39:23 ◼   ► basically do Rio projects with 30 languages and really be eyes and make [TS]

00:39:29 ◼   ► sure each new one that you do [TS]

00:39:31 ◼   ► doesn't overlap hundred-percent [TS]

00:39:35 ◼   ► I absolutely think that's the right approach when I was first a professional [TS]

00:39:39 ◼   ► developer I was writing C++ compiler for das which was kind of weird and then I [TS]

00:39:46 ◼   ► taught myself csharp just by writing an app actually test common enough to track [TS]

00:39:53 ◼   ► my time during the day because I started doing consulting gig and so I need to [TS]

00:39:57 ◼   ► make sure I track my time and so I wrote a C sharp app in order to help me track [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► my time and that's how I learn C sharp and I ended up doing seashore [TS]

00:40:05 ◼   ► professionally install am [TS]

00:40:06 ◼   ► my really really basic that's in the App Store I did that just to teach myself [TS]

00:40:12 ◼   ► Objective C and i couldnt I couldn't echo what you just said enough that the [TS]

00:40:17 ◼   ► best way to do it just to dive in but to do something specific and productive and [TS]

00:40:21 ◼   ► and so i i think that's the best way not only to stay sharp but also to learn [TS]

00:40:26 ◼   ► something new and again I can't stress enough that my experiences when I learn [TS]

00:40:31 ◼   ► a different language or new framework or whatever the case maybe it makes me [TS]

00:40:34 ◼   ► think about the stuff I feel like I know cold differently I mean I know seashore [TS]

00:40:40 ◼   ► pretty darn well and when I learn different languages different frameworks [TS]

00:40:43 ◼   ► whatever the case may be that changes however I my code in C sharp again [TS]

00:40:47 ◼   ► usually for the better so I don't forgive me for actually doing something [TS]

00:40:51 ◼   ► dirty on this podcast when someone you know I comes back from France and it [TS]

00:40:55 ◼   ► started using like French words are eating french foods are doing like that [TS]

00:41:00 ◼   ► happens like I read especially early in my career lots of Java books even though [TS]

00:41:04 ◼   ► I only jobs program I ever did was in school I never did it professionally but [TS]

00:41:09 ◼   ► a lot of the early books about like object oriented design principles and [TS]

00:41:12 ◼   ► stuff use Java's their language or specifically about how to write a better [TS]

00:41:15 ◼   ► application this one of the umpteen GUI API is the job was supported in its [TS]

00:41:20 ◼   ► history and I read a lot of the Java books and I brought with me a lot of the [TS]

00:41:24 ◼   ► concepts and practices from Java into my daily work in JavaScript Perl you know [TS]

00:41:30 ◼   ► whatever I was doing at the time and you can see like all this person has just [TS]

00:41:35 ◼   ► read some book on this some Java book or maybe just read the patterns book which [TS]

00:41:39 ◼   ► did a lot you know the game for patterns book which is a lot of examples of C++ I [TS]

00:41:43 ◼   ► recall correctly and for a little while you'll have that carry-over effect and I [TS]

00:41:48 ◼   ► think that that's weird initially but it's good because it'll settle down [TS]

00:41:51 ◼   ► eventually like you'll learn some new idea and you just want to use that new [TS]

00:41:54 ◼   ► idea in the totally different language because you're excited about it and [TS]

00:41:57 ◼   ► maybe it's not quite a good fit and maybe I'll be too enthusiastic and [TS]

00:42:00 ◼   ► you're paying yourself into a corner but you learn something and sort of that [TS]

00:42:03 ◼   ► will settle down you say ok I learned about this concept and I found out some [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► language also has a concert now in use it everywhere too much it's not a good [TS]

00:42:11 ◼   ► fit but now it's in my tool belt and now I have it available to me to know when [TS]

00:42:14 ◼   ► and this kind of problem you have that kind of problem is that a pro [TS]

00:42:17 ◼   ► like the helpful caring person as a friend of mine like to say there's an [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► easier way on our way to learn programming language in the easy way [TS]

00:42:27 ◼   ► doesn't work that's that's not the answer you want to hear but that's the [TS]

00:42:31 ◼   ► only wisdom I have to offer from my experience is that there is actually no [TS]

00:42:35 ◼   ► substitute for experience you just have to do a lot of things and I don't know a [TS]

00:42:40 ◼   ► shorter way to get to to end up at the end power without going through all this [TS]

00:42:45 ◼   ► intermediate points and 10 I think there is a slight not as Saudi shortcut but at [TS]

00:42:51 ◼   ► least makes it a little bit easier doesn't saving time but it does help a [TS]

00:42:55 ◼   ► little bit to slow down the pace of of what you're being brush with that new [TS]

00:42:59 ◼   ► and 22 to reduce the chance of the get totally frustrated and just give up and [TS]

00:43:05 ◼   ► stop I find it very helpful to take half steps so for instance when you first I'm [TS]

00:43:13 ◼   ► gonna programming for the very first time and any language that you can't [TS]

00:43:16 ◼   ► make a half step but once you know a language then you know maybe the next [TS]

00:43:21 ◼   ► step you take is learning a whole new language from scratch but like if you [TS]

00:43:25 ◼   ► know job from school then maybe try writing a web app in job because you [TS]

00:43:30 ◼   ► probably didn't do that in school if you know a little bit of cocoa and just to [TS]

00:43:36 ◼   ► see two you made an iOS app at some point try making a radically different [TS]

00:43:42 ◼   ► iOS app using various frameworks but using the same language you know that we [TS]

00:43:46 ◼   ► don't to relearn the language that time or if you if you make web apps in PHP [TS]

00:43:51 ◼   ► then you already know things like HTML and HTTP requests and protocols and [TS]

00:43:56 ◼   ► stuff like that so if you already know how to make web someone in one language [TS]

00:44:00 ◼   ► that may be learning a language that makes web apps you know so you only [TS]

00:44:03 ◼   ► taking a half step in some of those instances so it's a little bit easier [TS]

00:44:06 ◼   ► and you won't just give up [TS]

00:44:10 ◼   ► attended that has to happen actually during the course of a career because [TS]

00:44:13 ◼   ► the next job you'll be able probably build on something you already know and [TS]

00:44:17 ◼   ► so you will end up like ok well I did whereabouts in line with Jackson now I [TS]

00:44:20 ◼   ► need to get a job [TS]

00:44:22 ◼   ► so I have experienced bullying went out just companies different language you [TS]

00:44:25 ◼   ► will find yourself running routes in a different language in taking my house [TS]

00:44:28 ◼   ► that like all things were talking about yes you can do them on your own sort of [TS]

00:44:32 ◼   ► as as a hobby or whatever but if it's your career you're probably not find [TS]

00:44:39 ◼   ► yourself doing completely totally unrelated things from job to job because [TS]

00:44:42 ◼   ► that's not think that's not a good way to build your career salary statue will [TS]

00:44:48 ◼   ► not be increasing with each job change you will want to build on what you know [TS]

00:44:50 ◼   ► before but you also don't necessarily have to do things that you're unfamiliar [TS]

00:44:54 ◼   ► with because you're not going to find jobs exactly like your old job probably [TS]

00:44:57 ◼   ► so they get that just happens over the course of our actual programming career [TS]

00:45:01 ◼   ► good point alright our second budget this week is a return sponsor its hover [TS]

00:45:08 ◼   ► and anyone who's everybody two main anywhere else probably has a pretty good [TS]

00:45:13 ◼   ► idea of how much the process of buying a demand and managing it can suck and [TS]

00:45:19 ◼   ► cover is so good [TS]

00:45:21 ◼   ► believe me when I tell you I have moved every demand that I have that they can [TS]

00:45:26 ◼   ► host I have moved there are some of the weird international TLD as they don't [TS]

00:45:31 ◼   ► have restrictions of rights for yet but everything else that they can host I [TS]

00:45:34 ◼   ► have moved there however believes that everyone should be able to take control [TS]

00:45:38 ◼   ► of their and their online identity with their own domain name and then they make [TS]

00:45:42 ◼   ► it easy to do so they are for.net khou.com TV many of the country code TLD [TS]

00:45:48 ◼   ► he's getting a decent dot com is difficult but there's still tons a.net [TS]

00:45:52 ◼   ► available there's tons of options for you they take all the friction and [TS]

00:45:57 ◼   ► hassle out of owning and managing domain names they don't believe in heavy handed [TS]

00:46:01 ◼   ► up selling or aggressive cross-selling you know sometimes you go to the main [TS]

00:46:05 ◼   ► site there's like a million check boxes that you have to uncheck during checkout [TS]

00:46:09 ◼   ► say no I don't want all this stuff and I don't even know what that is and there's [TS]

00:46:14 ◼   ► a checkbox here that says he won't set fire to my house for $10 a month like [TS]

00:46:18 ◼   ► there's it gets so bizarre at other places and and however is just clean [TS]

00:46:23 ◼   ► honest easy it is a great place to reduce it remains they have great food [TS]

00:46:29 ◼   ► great support you call them and human being answers [TS]

00:46:33 ◼   ► really really great tech technical support if you need it great pricing [TS]

00:46:36 ◼   ► email hosting their forwarding everything you'd expect from a great [TS]

00:46:41 ◼   ► domain registrar and and more importantly nothing that you would [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► expect not to be there it's fantastic and they're also part of two cows which [TS]

00:46:51 ◼   ► has been around forever in Internet terms at least they said they're [TS]

00:46:54 ◼   ► officially they were founded in 1994 used to stand for the ultimate [TS]

00:46:58 ◼   ► collection of windows shareware right to the last time I forgot I think that's [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► right anyway they've been around forever [TS]

00:47:05 ◼   ► high quality people high quality company you can trust them they're not going to [TS]

00:47:09 ◼   ► scam you are not going to upsell you really great no hassle domain name [TS]

00:47:13 ◼   ► registration anyway go to hover dot com slash ATT for high-quality no hassle [TS]

00:47:19 ◼   ► registration use our promo could ATP and you get 10% off again at Harvard a [TS]

00:47:24 ◼   ► concise CTP and you actually get it or just use promo code ATP at checkout for [TS]

00:47:29 ◼   ► 10% off thanks a lot to cover for being an awesome time domain registrar and for [TS]

00:47:33 ◼   ► sponsoring our show keep forgetting to use our own I I always forget to use our [TS]

00:47:39 ◼   ► own codes I was on my pass podcast I was your other people's promo codes all [TS]

00:47:43 ◼   ► these ways it could be saving money I believe I have never use the promo code [TS]

00:47:46 ◼   ► for her and I have spent too much money there I should use my own I can remember [TS]

00:47:50 ◼   ► ATP know it is just ATP 10% off they they they do codes for a long time I for [TS]

00:47:57 ◼   ► a while you dance at me now I can just use ATP it's it's great grandfather was [TS]

00:48:02 ◼   ► painful price of them thought that expensive commander-in-chief I think [TS]

00:48:08 ◼   ► every especially listeners of the show are probably very familiar with having a [TS]

00:48:11 ◼   ► lot of to me that's what else we talk about i've been bossy the absence of a [TS]

00:48:21 ◼   ► scrapper [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► that's kinda over I don't know I don't really have much to add a lot of people [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► have asked what we're using I don't know if we wanted to do a quick roundtable I [TS]

00:48:31 ◼   ► throw my weight and $19 whatever is behind a friend of the show underscore [TS]

00:48:36 ◼   ► David Smith speed Wrangler I've liked it since the moment I paid for it and [TS]

00:48:42 ◼   ► started using it it's gotten even better now that reader for iPhone is supporting [TS]

00:48:46 ◼   ► it [TS]

00:48:46 ◼   ► david smith's a good guy so you should give you some cash [TS]

00:48:52 ◼   ► deserves it yeah I'm also using I also agree that he's a good guy also as a [TS]

00:48:56 ◼   ► friend of the show and I'm also using feed Wrangler [TS]

00:49:00 ◼   ► show notes as well as a coupon code actually purchase it but I believe he [TS]

00:49:09 ◼   ► also supports stripe on the site [TS]

00:49:10 ◼   ► ya like it you know I wasn't crazy but giving up reader back when I first tried [TS]

00:49:15 ◼   ► it but now I don't have to do that so I want that to readers alike we rely on [TS]

00:49:18 ◼   ► iPhone and so yeah I like it a lot it works it's it's fast it's solid even in [TS]

00:49:27 ◼   ► the last couple of days when you had a massive influx of new users are held up [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► really well and I have never really had any problem with that so far and and and [TS]

00:49:34 ◼   ► even among the paid options I think it's one of the cheapest it's it's a very low [TS]

00:49:39 ◼   ► price I know Lex Friedman our friend and an ad salesman he macro-level into that [TS]

00:49:46 ◼   ► he he recommended feed bin was it was it the one that's not free feedly is free [TS]

00:49:51 ◼   ► right I think that's right so he likes feet then the other one and what is $24 [TS]

00:49:57 ◼   ► here so david smith is actually cheaper and I haven't even tried for benefits if [TS]

00:50:01 ◼   ► it's better than any particular way but you know for me P triangular it works [TS]

00:50:06 ◼   ► it's a sync service i you know i i would rather not use his first party apps [TS]

00:50:10 ◼   ► because I I have already have absolute like and so as long as you're using [TS]

00:50:16 ◼   ► someone else's absurd doesn't matter which service you think with all that [TS]

00:50:19 ◼   ► matters is like cost and whether it works right and so yeah I i like it alot [TS]

00:50:24 ◼   ► jaan just been ignoring this entire thing because I assumed actually have [TS]

00:50:31 ◼   ► everything sorted out [TS]

00:50:32 ◼   ► and three days before the you know the show did I will simply look online and [TS]

00:50:37 ◼   ► there will be some consensus for some slot and replacement that I can use that [TS]

00:50:42 ◼   ► will let me continue to use the apps that I like using to read news that [TS]

00:50:45 ◼   ► turned out not to be true to my disappointment I i mean i really like my [TS]

00:50:51 ◼   ► habits on that esoteric but I thought someone would just support the the API [TS]

00:50:57 ◼   ► and I could just do you know summit's host thing to just get it to magically [TS]

00:51:00 ◼   ► work or I don't know what I expected by the people you know get everything to go [TS]

00:51:05 ◼   ► to go and didn't work out for me so I must do my reading with on the iPad and [TS]

00:51:10 ◼   ► reader which is different than the iPhone version on universal app I have [TS]

00:51:13 ◼   ► both of them but I I like never use the iPhone version so I have nothing that I [TS]

00:51:19 ◼   ► can read on now on the iPad like I bought mister reader or something like [TS]

00:51:22 ◼   ► that which kind of works but I miss I miss my Google reader with 2 E's so I'm [TS]

00:51:27 ◼   ► just gonna wait for reader to start working with some service that I like [TS]

00:51:30 ◼   ► her years and I used that newswire on the Mac and just turned off sank into [TS]

00:51:36 ◼   ► the old-fashioned way and I don't think it'll be that big of deal just like [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► believe it or not I know things I read I can understand which part of my brain is [TS]

00:51:46 ◼   ► dedicated to keeping track of the last unread point in hundreds of feeds I [TS]

00:51:50 ◼   ► don't have to do it now that I've read so I'm using feed been cause I figured I [TS]

00:51:56 ◼   ► should pay for one of them but she'd been only is only supported by eight [TS]

00:51:59 ◼   ► hundred on the iPhone presumably will be supported in reader on the iPad and then [TS]

00:52:04 ◼   ► I guess I'll be kind of all set except for the cross device hanging out of its [TS]

00:52:08 ◼   ► kind of the testator's little I didn't like Google Reader you know I'm glad [TS]

00:52:16 ◼   ► that it went away is just over now in a transition period it's kind of [TS]

00:52:18 ◼   ► uncomfortable and a lot of the new readers i try to download and purchase a [TS]

00:52:22 ◼   ► lot of the [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► the new reader apps it didn't really exist before the Google Reader [TS]

00:52:26 ◼   ► apocalypse happened and I still like reader better so I'm hoping I'll double [TS]

00:52:31 ◼   ► Compass sport is home and then newswire for I don't like the UI that I've seen [TS]

00:52:35 ◼   ► so far that so maybe I'll just keep using the new by three until it dies [TS]

00:52:38 ◼   ► yeah I'm with your newswire for I I was a big fan of 344 couple of years now and [TS]

00:52:46 ◼   ► for I just I don't like the direction they've gone that they removed a lot of [TS]

00:52:51 ◼   ► what I like and they haven't added a lot that I that I like in their efforts to [TS]

00:52:56 ◼   ► remove the other things but it's not done yet so i cant wait and see that's [TS]

00:53:00 ◼   ► true it's not that I think like there's a possibility that they will eventually [TS]

00:53:04 ◼   ► come to support all the things I like and you know by the time three stops [TS]

00:53:08 ◼   ► working entirely maybe for will be something nicer and I'll be disappointed [TS]

00:53:13 ◼   ► it's not because what's what's the alternative on the Mac I don't want to [TS]

00:53:16 ◼   ► use a web app yeah I mean I I don't know why I use read it now because that's [TS]

00:53:21 ◼   ► like I think it's the only Mac app that natively supports anything right now [TS]

00:53:25 ◼   ► that's not Google Reader [TS]

00:53:28 ◼   ► if it's not the only one it's certainly one of very very few might actually get [TS]

00:53:31 ◼   ► to know if there's any others but I don't think there are it's it's decent [TS]

00:53:37 ◼   ► but the problem with read it is that it started out as an instigator pocket [TS]
