The thing is, a high growth company like MongoDB doesn't need to fire a single engineer to turn highly profitable. They grew revenue 57% YoY last quarter and spent 52.6% of revenue on sales & marketing.

Unfortunately this is my experience as well. Generally it's a misalignment of priorities. Since the people writing the endpoint don't have to consume it, they just do whatever is easiest as quickly as possible. And often many are

lol @ people who think Apple pushing back on FB tracking is out of their goodness of heart. They want FB to introduce a subscription model so they can rake in that sweet 30% commission. I am in favor of more consumer options, always prefer

Ok, so you want to disable tracking and ads. Why does that necessitate disabling all JS? You can enjoy the performance of an SPA while selectively disabling tracking.

It's the pricing too. Apple's 30% fee on the payment processing for in app purchases is insane and clearly anti-competitive. Developers can use Stripe, Paypal, etc for literally 10x less.
