As a company we realised about 12 months ago that email can no longer be considered a reliable method of communication. I understand the reasoning but the result is the result. Many new clients we deal with have whitelists on and we have to pester our clients to add us to their lists. Not a great experience for anyone. I think we should consider email pretty much moribund at this point.

“Spam” as a neologism doesn’t have a widely agreed upon shared definition. The most apt would seem to be “email I don’t want”. But that’s not too helpful when third party gatekeepers are trying to mass assign status to an email. The same email could be unwanted by one person and very gratefully received by the next.

All mental models fail to represent the real world completely. That’s kind of a fundamental feature of them.

Trump didn’t seem to disagree with the premise just the funding. His argument is that the US shouldn’t be funding it. His strategy is to put tariffs on chip imports and foreign chip manufacturers would have to build US based plants on their own dime.

Don’t tell every SaaS company ever. (Who I doubt all have robust legal processes for including logos on their homepages)

Consent isn’t required for B2B data processing and cold contact as far as I know, like it is for consumer data. There are six lawful basis including consent. The most relevant one in this case is probably legitimate interest. A company can cold contact someone at an organisation if they believe there is a genuine possibility they would buy the product or service they offer. IANAL however.

PS What’s CYA?

I suspect management job descriptions are based on the output of the team to be managed rather than the requirements of being a good manager.

Safari also completely ignores autocomplete="off" when it thinks something is a username or password field. Even when, as a dev, I know it definitely isn't.

Yes. I thought changing the field to type="search" may avoid it but alas no.
