I wonder how many iterations we will need before engineers are happy with a workflow solution. Netflix had multiple solutions before Maestro, such as metaflow. Uber built multiple solutions too. Amazon had at least a dozen internal workflow engines. It's quite curious why engineers are so keen on building their own workflow engines.

Update: I just find it really interesting that many individuals in many companies like to build workflow engines. This is a not deriding comment towards anyone or Netflix in particular. To me, such observation is worth some friendly chitchat.

Surprisingly, I've received a similar storage notice from Apple before the holidays and I decided to download all photos/videos into my own media server instead of hosting it on iCloud. There is not an easy, straight-forward way to download your archive from iCloud. I am slowly getting there using multiple machines and devices.

The issue with the recent changes with Apple is that they increase the prices for no good reason. We're always going to take photos/videos and their sizes keep increasing with modern tech and capabilities.
