Having just used Skype for Business, semi-successfully, I don't see how it can get any worse.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, it doesn't look very appealing. How is one's app going to get found? I'd think the future is in progressive web apps, because most people find things in a google search, not an app store.

That really is key. But even if they find you __and__ download your app, something like 50% will never run it once. Hmmm...

I'm reading a book right now on this. I seriously hadn't even heard this term before -- hadn't ever heard of Service Workers. This book is pretty good, but the samples are a bit messed up.
Building Progressive Web Apps O'Reilly - amazon[^]
Have you read it, by chance?

No I haven't, but I'm interested. I have a web and app project at work coming up in the next 6 months and my first thought of Xamarin or doing separate Android and iOS apps. But since this will be for a small user base, I think a progressive web app would be the best solution. In fact, unless you are a MNC with millions of users, I think native apps are waste of resources.

After building native apps for Windows, UWA, Android, iOS and Web I can agree with you.
However, I'm just at the early stages of Progressive Web Apps and I'm wondering if there is some native functionality that you just can't get.
Specifically, I am thinking of the copy to clipboard functionality that is so necessary for my app.
My web version doesn't have that ability and it is a part that makes the iOS, Android, Windows, UWA apps far better UX. It just does the thing like you expect it.
I wonder how many other things you may not be able to do with a Progressive Web App. We will see.

It used to be "a fool and his money..." well, that may still be true for VC's, but for the rest of us lowly developers, it's "a fool and his time..."
Then again, what I do with my time is my own business, whether I spend it foolishly or fool around while spending it.

Didn't read the article.
Have my own mobile app* (iOS and Android).
Agree 100%!
My mobile app is at almost nil right now. Please do not download it from Google Play or the App Store, because you'll ruin my nil-age.

The trick is to write apps for other people while getting paid cash up front.
Let their vulture capital take all the risk. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In a new study, researchers have developed a method for converting integrated circuits into "Lego-electronics," whose simple lock-and-key design could ease the manufacturing process, enhance the production rate, and reduce the failure rate of the micro-scale interconnects. Beware the Kragle

Microsoft’s first mission statement envisioned a computer on every desk and in every home, but Bill Gates also had another goal: that computers would someday be able to see, hear, communicate and understand humans and their environment. And this is how we get Cortana to tell jokes

A DevSecOps best practice is root cause analysis, so that we can learn from live site incidents and prevent their recurrence. "Don't blame the sun, don't blame the sky"

Turns out that what you studied is a terrible indicator of infosec skills. So they can play the "dun Dun DUNNNNN!" music?

They were looking for a soft target I think. Much easier than examining the corporate culture that led to this.

14 years of experience in a field does not automatically make one qualified, let alone an expert, in that field. What she did in those 14 years in that field is what's important.

Surely we didn’t need a computer, this behemoth of technology and innovation, just to talk to each other. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to Reply All loops

For the first time, a meaningful number of developers are openly questioning the web platform. "There are as many opinions as there are experts."

The first time?!??!!
Someone hasn't got a long memory.
Quote: The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs. -- Alan Kay.
