If the customers prefer the walled garden then what’s the big deal? There are a number of other phones people can buy.

In my experience so far with AI, it's primarily good for creating boilerplate pages and APIs and for helping with auto-complete suggestions.

I think eventually AI agents will really take off but not sure if anything works well there yet.

It probably depends if the audience is intelligent and open-minded, but I agree, it will always be biased towards their preconceptions.

Tesla has too much competition and their CEO is part-time. Boggles my mind that the stock is priced so high relative to their financial metrics.

It also reminds me how the most upvoted comments on Reddit often reflect the consensus opinion but not necessarily the truth.

There's not much you're missing. His videos try to appeal to the lowest common denominator and are relatively vapid. Sort of like the junk food of YouTube.

My point though is that if a person renders themselves unable to have offspring, especially before they have any, then from a purely biological perspective it's a form of illness. The same view would apply to all animals. If every member of a group acted the same way then the group would also die out. The functional impairment you mention includes the inability to attract a mate and reproduce. Hormones and sex reassignment surgery also severely hamper fertility.

Also trans people tend to have many other correlated mental issues and for example have high suicide attempt rates.

Well actually, if they had used Next.js deployed via Vercel or something similar, it would have been statically cached on a CDN and prevents issues like this. But because they want to use older technology that's more difficult to cache and proxy, this happens.

If they had used Next.js with a typical deployment this wouldn't happen since it uses a static CDN cache for all pages.

Why use a 3rd party add-on solution instead of using something better in the first place?

I don't know why anyone would want to code with a language that isn't statically type safe at compile time in this day and age.
