I was very excited by the idea of an overnight train in Europe but the reality was a bit underwhelming. We went from Cologne to Vienna which was roughly from 10 pm to 7 am which wasn’t super convenient timing on either end. Also the cabins were super claustrophobic for me when the beds were folded down. Fun once but I would probably fly next time.

What a mess. Wait a week, maybe the price will go up or down another 3%. Who knows!

You can’t say “it is good design to have small composable building blocks” and then complain about the number of those blocks.
I wonder how/where the author gets connection time information. Each country, and sometimes each public transport company, seems to have their own system, sometimes hard to access digitally.
I've been building a mobile app for quick and convenient public transport departure lookup in Switzerland[0], which is doable because there's a free, well-documented public API[1]. Since it's fairly popular, I thought about extending it to other countries, but as mentioned above, the API landscape looks super heterogenous and spotty.

I'm sure he also benefits a lot from feedback. Someone goes to book a route he suggests, and the connection now doesn't work, they are going to tell him, and he can update his page on it.

And doesn't even mention Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has some science cred.

Amazing resource. And such a depth of info... we wanted to go from London to Vienna by train, and there is a page on that specifically, and three different options for the journey depending on whether you want a sleeper or want to go through Switzerland or want to go the fastest route. And then specific instructions for booking each trip on the various country's railway websites, and connection info for the train stations. Ridiculous.

I'd love to hear a Facebook critic rebut this thread re: the article:

What this seems to boil down to is a side channel for certain partners with looser technical controls but tighter monitoring of misuse, and no evidence that that tradeoff actually resulted in any misuse that couldn't have occurred through normal data access channels.
If you don’t trust Facebook to do the right thing, that thread is not much of a defense, since it just says they will police their partners.

These posts are cool. I'm planning on writing a set of react interview questions based on them.
Wouldn't you just be testing if they read the blog posts?
