Definitely interesting. My guess it has to do with the level of hand-holding the users are doing. Ie. Full on vibing vs pair programming.

People should stop using these simplified high level programming languages with low cognitive weight, like Go. I only write assembly. ;)

'Engineer' is also a legally protected title in Canada, so 'developer' is the common term.

This is not really an 'email service' the average person can be expected to use..

Then don't use it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then don't suggest unusable services?

Employees should not be able to sell their stock if their company decides to do layoffs? What is the rationale?

Because if there's stock-based renumeration, it's 100% certain it applies and probably is considerable portion of renumeration of those deciding on layoffs.

Honestly, I'd preferably make it so that stock movement is frozen for a time except for laid off employees

Agree. I use both windows and mac daily, and I don't think Mac is much better in terms of annoyances and bugs.

Failing with GCP? GCP has had accelerating growth the past few years, larger than the other two, and widening profit. I've used all three major clouds and overall I would choose GCP, particularly these days for their data/AI stack

Yea, and the scale of impact on the economy of those micro seconds is probably huge

Clippy, is that you?

I think a simpler explanation the some of the others is.. why care? Phones these days, even cheaper ones, have oodles of GB available. They're not losing customers from the size. And I don't think making it smaller is going to draw in new gmail/workspace customers. So why spend time on it when there are tons of new features or active bugs that could be fixed instead?
