Yesterday I received a letter from Pika in the mail… Who is Pika and why is she (he) writing to me. The letter contains congratulations - cool! It’s just not happy. Everything must be on time. Having visited the site, I remembered what Pika is, but now I don’t need it, because “a spoon is expensive for dinner.”

I think there are too many waiting lists. Instead of immediately building a wall between the product and the user, it is better to create a friendly account - when you don’t even need a password to log in.

And if you decide to send the user such a letter, again interest him in the product. Well, what is it? A few lines of text, and the button is somewhere unknown…

Today, while working on his Space , I decided to check what the preview of the notes 1 in Meta would look like. But he changed his mind after he saw a “closed door” in the form of a login page. My page Facebook I have long been closed and I don’t want to check I can enter using the login and password or I need to restore the account first (or it will recover after entering the debugger).

But we are talking about something else. More recently, every platform came up with and imposed on us its standards. As an example, AMP from Google or the same pages from Facebook (I don’t even remember what they called). They try to introduce such standards in any direction of technology, because it is profitable to manage the standard and have dependent users.

Hands assemble a billion-year clock from the Lego construction set. The author of the channel collects a lot more. The presentation is interesting - the assembly starts simple and gradually becomes more complicated.

I thought this video was a great illustration of making a product more complex for the sake of complexity. Billion year clock? Cool! What time is it now?
