These are things which either are impossible, or require adding unsupported 3rd party software - sometimes at a cost. Resize the system…

iPhones and action discoverability
Discoverability I spend a lot of my time thinking about UX and design, and I try to consciously think about it in the wild when I can.

Useless Use of "dd" (2015)
tl;dr: dd works for reading and writing disks, but it has no "low level I/O" capabilities that make it more suited for this than any other shell utility.

Laying myself off from Amazon
Yesterday, I resigned from Amazon. My final day is next week, right before Thanksgiving. I realize the timing of this is quite coincidental— as this week Amazon began layoffs. My team was not affected by these layoffs (as far as I know, apparently the full scope is not yet known at the time of this writing.)
