The products I’ve paid for and enjoyed for years usually become worse when businesses feel they need to spend more of their resources on b2b.

Basically, enshittification.

> If I didn't want others to use my code or make money with it, I wouldn't have gone open source in the first place

> I'd rather use an AWS service with an open source core than a closed-source service.

I guess it’s just a problem with the people who work in software engineering. You won’t use anything closed source, but also don’t care if other engineer’s valuable open-source tools are hijacked by companies with billions in resources.

Basically, you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Well, this is concerning.

This.

ALL OF THIS IS A NON ISSUE. All. Of. It.

These people won’t take one ounce of responsibility and not buy the damn thing.

Your thoughts regarding open source are borderline irrational when places like Amazon will copy and paste your repository and start making billions off of it.

> I genuinely think Apple wanted this to be relatively unpalatable to the typical consumer.

You’re starting to hit on Apple’s strategy. Build something expensive and impressive, get all the media hype out of it with influencers making content and consumers watching it cause it’s the expensive thing.

Then it comes down in price over 10 years and soon everybody has one, because everyone wants to try to Apple thing they saw so much about years ago.

iPad went exactly the same way, as everyone wrote it off when first introduced as just “a large iPod touch”, and now it’s the defacto leader in the category without anything coming close.

Industry helps everyone.

Private jets are so the rich can avoid the peasants. There’s no benefit for 99.99% of the rest of the world.

And we’re told we need to be conscious of the plastic bags we’re using at the grocery to fight pollution.

We’re a drop in the ocean compared to these people.

> Grades inform potential employers where a student's strengths and weaknesses are.

I graduated in 2016 and never once had an employer concerned about my grades. It would be a red flag if I had.

Half my time in college was spent working in the dining center cleaning dishes to help pay for my education. I didn’t have the luxury of studying as much as others did.

Obese and gluttonous society gets a drug to let them consume more without consequences. Can’t go wrong, surely.

I’m sure this type of thing absolutely scares Engadget who has been putting out ai-like article spam even before generative AI was released.

Call it cynical but these publishers are getting what they deserve. People stopped caring to sift through their content a long time ago.

I have a hard time figuring out how those in the health insurance industry get sleep at night.

In my personal experience I’ve found stand ups are incredibly easy to sidetrack. One dev starts going into too much detail about a troublesome aspect of their ticket instead of simply stating what the problem is and then organizing a time after the standup to meet with the colleague best suited to assist.

Standups shouldn’t be a rubber duck session with the entire team.

Scandinavian system is completely incompatible with US population numbers and economic realities for the US. Their total population is less than 39 million, while the US has 10x that.

You forgot some of the headline

> Be gentle with the Apple Vision Pro - ITS PLASTIC!!!

Clickbait-territory.
