Daniel Paulino 🇨🇦 @kidjenius.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yeah I felt that way at first as well. But over time as you learn the “Apple-isms”, it just becomes part of the workflow. Eventually, macOS starts to feel more productive because of the seamless apps. I’m experiencing fewer issues that derail my work. And the m5 chip helps a lot as well. 101
Daniel Paulino 🇨🇦 @kidjenius.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I've been using a MacBook Pro exclusively for work the past few months, and I must say it's immersive. When using Windows, there are little papercuts that make the experience jarring. Bugs in Windows itself and poor UI/UX design in Windows apps lead to a lot fo friction. With MacOS, it's seamless 100

Daniel Paulino 🇨🇦 @kidjenius.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I don’t think the web would work. The block happens at the account level. All non-enterprise accounts will be blocked, regardless of if they use the app or website. And to further clarify, the “app” is just the website wrapped in a desktop window. 300
Daniel Paulino 🇨🇦 @kidjenius.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The deprecation of the app is so sad. Good thing is there are alternatives, like this native app I built called Markerpad. If you know anyone looking for an alternative, pls pass it on 🙂 apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nh0w... 130

Daniel Paulino 🇨🇦 @kidjenius.bsky.social · 31/07/2026So I’m learning C at Astera Labs. I work on the desktop app (in C# XAML), but the app communicates with some firmware which is in C.
