I think there is a huge difference between “can miss a few paychecks” and “can retire” (aka “never need a paycheck again”).

Appreciate the feedback. #2 is actually a pretty interesting one - while clearly a change in the API’s output, we were careful to make it so that maps without API keys actually still work (though they do get a heavy visual indication that they need to get an API key).
That being said, when we are talking about such large timeframes, is it fair to portray that as “regular” breaking changes?

Hi, I happen to work on Google's Maps JavaScript API, and we actually take great pains to avoid breaking our APIs as much as possible. We take very seriously the implications that breaking changes can have for websites all across the internet, and know that many sites are not under active development.
This page covers the breaking changes from the last few years: https://developers.google.com/maps/deprecations#completed_de... (Keep in mind that the top portion of the page covers features still in the deprecation period - meaning they still work. And that this page covers deprecations in other APIs like Android and iOS.)
My favorite: the deprecation period for v2 of the Maps JS API lasted 11 years after the introduction of the v3 Maps JS API.
Happy to hear about experiences to the contrary, but I thought a little insight might be appreciated.

For all those saying that ARIA trumps semantic elements, consider that for basic interactions semantic elements come out of the box keyboard accessible.
For example, a <button> will have default tabindex=0 and respond to spacebar key presses, but you'd have to add that yourself if you put role=button on a <div>.
In short, if there is a semantic element that matches your need, use it.

Do camera modules need power? Could the LED be wired in series to the camera module voltage in wire?

I don’t know, but does it matter? If an employee group understands how much they are worth, and can get more benefits commensurate with that worth, then I applaud them.

That’s not so hard to prevent, but I think it’s awesome she went that far!

I think it was pretty nice of you to use a linear scale. If a company wanted that much more of my time I would have quoted them a premium (just as an hourly employee might make overtime in such a situation).
