Yeah we get to choose between google and apple. Lucky us...
Would you rather have no choice?
I get the sentiment, but it's nice to finally have lawmakers and regulators standing for what's right - for once.

> Toss the results in a report the contributors can access with links to supporting dashboards, then watch your data platform costs drop, contributor productivity increase, and customer retention get longer.
So the answer is to use a dashboard.

what does that even mean
Doesn't mean anything, honestly. Strava is also donation based if you think hard enough.

> once it reaches $1b in valuation
Uhm - Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter. Obviously it's not worth >=$44B currently but it's also obviously still worth more than $1B.
Edit: Some people seem to be thinking I'm arguing it's worth >$10B -- I am not. I'm only arguing that it's absolutely worth more than $1B. There are plenty of sources in the past 6 months which have valued it between $3.7B and $8B. There are absolutely buyers out there who would love to buy Twitter right now for a 90% discount vs. what Musk paid for it. You may still believe those parties would be overpaying, but it wouldn't be super difficult to find a buyer as long as there weren't other onerous terms attached to the deal.
According to the analysis of Reuters, it's worth around 8 billion.

I absolutely loved this article. We could all learn from being more empathetic towards each other. I'm going to use the tools mentioned in the article to improve my relationships with my colleagues.
I think the real cold hard reality is that these AI tools can't and won't be the revolution they're purported. There's too much messiness in everyday software engineering jobs: tribal knowledge, dismal documentation, company politics, a toxic co-worker, a manager almost seeking to make the project fail, lack of code consistency, apathy, etc.
It's a bit like NTFs a few years ago. It's a cult, and they're all in.
