Fair point. I was too dismissive in my earlier response, and I apologize. You raised strong and valid arguments. My perspective is shaped by a long pattern of historical collapses, but I’d truly welcome any examples or evidence that point t

Apple is simply continuing to do what Apple does best - building strong products and protecting their ecosystem. Does that mean some vendors will be treated unfairly? Of course. Does it mean Apple users will remain happy? Absolutely. If the

For every example of a company that bounced back due to "founder mode", there is an opposite example of a company saved by "manager mode". The modes don't exist. You either figure out how to effectively manage the

This "AI detecting AI" method is a lost cause and a distraction from a larger problem of AI regulation. The success of generative AI depends on producing human-like content, and the models are only improving. This means the signal

Creating anything is a craft and creating software programs is no different. While everyone should strive to learn how to write programs well so the intent isn’t obfuscated, it ultimately boils down to two factors: programmer’s experience a
