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.

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.

According to Avast, the database where the CCleaner hackers were collecting data from infected hosts ran out of space and was deleted on September 12, meaning information on previous victims is now lost to investigators and the number of computers infected with the second-stage backdoor payloads may be larger than initially believed. Mental note: before launching malware campaign, buy new hard drive

Yes...Best Practices say delete the database if it gets too large.

The recent CCleaner malware outbreak is much worse than it initially appeared, according to newly unearthed evidence. That evidence shows that the CCleaner malware infected at least 20 computers from a carefully selected list of high-profile technology companies with a mysterious payload. Why weren't we included? I feel slighted now.

These are the moments I'm grateful for:
* Never updating a software if the update doesn't bring any real advantage to me;
* Always keeping an offline installer of the software I use - that is the trusted source;
* Not using messy software like CCleaner. Most of the problems when I worked as an IT assistance man (both as freelance and as coputer shop) where due to programs similar to CCleaner, back in the end of 1990s - beginning of 2000s.

Researchers have developed a new system that allows programmers to transplant code from one program into another. The programmer can select the code from one program and an insertion point in a second program, and the system will automatically make modifications necessary -- such as changing variable names -- to integrate the code into its new context. plz put codez on my clipboard, kkthx
