Elon?

>Buy all your engineers an arduino kit with sensors and blinkylights and motors.

I would love this.

I mean, it's basically what my job is (write code to make hw do blinky stuff - gross simplification, but yeah...) anyway, but I would find getting that to be really cool. Of course, my SO would just see it as yet more HW taking up residence here (I'm remote and my company sends me all sorts of HW that I need).

Maybe that depends on if the rightful owner deducted the stolen items from their taxes.

> Why does anyone think it's OK to pay less on money you made with money you have?

The venn diagram of people who make the rules overlaps with those who benefit.

> "As the company grew, the founders wanted everyone to experience different parts of the product so we could get closer to all our audiences and understand how the product works," a DoorDash spokesperson said

Does that mean delivery persons get to be an engineer or a CEO for a day?

This is not a good thing. I have an old phone I put my sim in when I go fishing, boating, beach, etc.

Apple keeps making it very difficult for me to want to keep purchasing their products.

"Sorry Fred, you meet, even exceed, all of our expectations for the position, however you prefer to stay too long, so fuck right off."

Seriously? This is absurd.

> Look at nearly every 12v car or boat battery. You don't see those being replaced every 3-5 years.

Yes, yes you do. All the time.

Home Depot can rent you a truck for 4 hours with a CC, DL and a handshake. In/out in less than 10 min.

Renting a car can be this easy. It just isn't.

Or it might just be some nerdy tech that a very small percent of people in the tech community feel the need to try and convince others that it is the future. It is not.

And no, seeing clearly is not a value. It is a necessity.

Value? No, they're a medical device that I have to wear.

No. I'm not going to put one of those on my fucking head just to use a computer. I'm NOT. I already dislike wearing glasses (and contacts, etc).

To think people are going to do this in mass, it's just stupid thinking.

Edit: Okay drive-by downvoter(s), I get it, The above didn't "add" anything to the discussion. But you know what, this has been discussed and THE MASSES AREN'T GOING TO WEAR THAT SHIT.

Is there a shortage of polyglots?

Yeah, you have the average programmer who spends so much time worrying about what FE framework to use, then you have the programmers at the level of the two you mention who just put out so many working projects. All the cargo culting most devs do is just waste.

Of course, but I am positive plenty of "look at me" types will drive around with it[0]. And I'm sure you know that, too.

[0] If possible. I don't see where they explicitly say you can't.
