They have a personal definition of remote work that they believe is unassailable correct.

I mean just say you’re pirating…

So you think that the person posted this question meaning to ask, “If there was a solution that you liked more, was cheaper, and you could have fully implemented at the blink of an eye, what would you switch from?”

Also for commercial stuff, there’s obviously a cost of switching. For personal stuff there is as well but it’s generally close to 0.

For me, for example, I wouldn’t switch from Apple Music to something that cost a penny less and was a better experience or whatever. Same with 1pass. I like the solution I have well enough and both are cheap enough that it’s not worth thinking about how to export/import or whatever and then learn the new system.

Way ahead of you pal

Are you assuming cost of switching is included in the definition of “better”?

Now I’m even more sure that I’m right lol

But I did make it.

Tell me how I’m wrong. I’m all ears.

They didn’t say the better option’s price. Or how much better it was.

Gmail + all the Google shit I get for $16/user/month + the hassle of switching would be very hard to get me to move away from for something that is anything but monumentally better. Even then I’d be super skeptical. Google is good enough and I probably wouldn’t switch.

I'm sure you never talked passionately about computers and if you did I'm sure other people found it endearing and inspiring.

> I wonder if "Dcotor" ought not be a short career—one where you transition out after, say, two decades

In the US if a doctor is remotely competent with money then this is very achievable.

> everytime I try to use mac or win, it is an ordeal

I use a Mac at work and iPad Pro at home. Never once have I considered either usage “an ordeal.”

Do I just have a really high threshold for frustration or do you have a desire to complain?

Go work in another field for awhile and see if your motivation returns?

I mean let’s get real. You probably were looking for a reason to smugly not go to the village fete and this gave you one.

Otherwise you would be excited about going to the village fete and realize that the poster doesn’t make it a bad event.

Great press release w/ the goal of pulling the ladder up behind him.

Additionally if you know your models aren’t going to get that much better AND you want to IPO in the near future, this is exactly what you would say.
