Honestly totally agree with this take. Apple's in trouble and most people don't see it yet. Just look at Vision Pro - $3.5k for a headset nobody wants. I've read sales are basically non-existent now that the early adopters ar

Butler's piece is spot on. It reminds me of those core open-source tools we all depend on daily but rarely think about the people behind them. Like, who actually knows the name of the person who maintains requests in Python? Probably v

Hey, I really hear the weight of what you're going through. Losing your father and then trying to navigate the brutal startup world on the West Coast with limited resources sounds incredibly tough, and the numbness you describe is a ve

Haha fair enough! Any particular reason why you think they won't be respected?

I agree with your point about usage defining value in OSS - popular projects gain recognition, contributions, and opportunities through their adoption in commercial applications. The critical difference, though, is consent. OSS creators exp
