'Users hate change'

This week NN Group released a video by Jakob Nielsen in which he attempts to help designers deal with the problem of customers being resistant to their new site/product redesign. The argument goes thusly:

1. Humans naturally resist change
2. Your change is for the better
3. Customers should just get used to it and stop complaining

There's slightly more to it than that, he caveats his argument with requiring you to have of course followed their best practices on product design, and allows for a period of customers being able to elect to continue to use the old site, although he says this is obviously only a temporary solution as you don't want to support both.

Here is a succinct timeline of the events.

• I received a Paypal notification that 600 USD were deposited on my account.
• I was not expecting any money, so I logged in to see what this is about.
• Apparently someone paid me for an item they bought on Ebay.
• The information contained on my Paypal account about the transaction, did NOT contain any information on what this is about.
• I am NOT an Ebay seller, so I have nothing else to follow this up.
• My first thought (apart from quickly spending the money) was that some poor soul after thinking that they have paid for an item they would wait for ever for an item they thought they purchased, only to never receive it.
• So I spent some considerable amount of time trying to locate the seller from their name only (did not have an email) by googling around, to clarify the issue
• As it was getting late, I left the issue to continue the next day.

Why I use web components

This is some sort of answer to recent posts regarding Web Components, where more than a few misconceptions were delivered as fact.

Let's start by defining what we are talking about.

The Web Components Umbrella

As you can read in the dedicated GitHub page, Web Components is a group of features, where each feature works already by itself, and it doesn't need other features of the group to be already usable, or useful.

Update - 4 september 2020

Making multiple MySQL versions work with Homebrew was tricky to say the least. Fortunately there are 2 new easy ways that I learned of to achieve this.

DBngin app

As @4unkur and @henrytirla commented below, there is this extremely easy to use app called DBngin, which lets you setup multiple databases (not only MySQL) simultaneously using different ports:

/**
 * @Post("/magic_link_signup")
 */
function magicLinkSignUp($request) {
  // get the query parameters from the post request
  $queryParams = $request->query()->all();
  
  // get the token from queryParams
  // this $token is the same $randomString that was
  // generated in Step 1

cosmos-sajal

/**
 * pass mobile number of the user for whom
 * you want to create an authenticated link,
 * this mobile number may/may not be in your
 * user's database
 */
function createMagicLink($mobileNumber, $targetScreenUrl) {
  // generate a random string of length 8
  $randomString = generateRandomString(8);
  $maskedRandomString = generateMaskedRandomString($randomString);
