Can we not just agree that, as with everything else, the type of person who falls into this career also falls on a spectrum.

I don't see it as mutually exclusive that both type of engineers exist and both are equally deserving of their takes on the situation.

> other companies are catching up

Catching up? BYD has already surpassed Tesla and looks like the gap is going to continue to grow.

You missed my distinction -- I said that the Chinese companies (like BYD) would eat Tesla's lunch except for they aren't in the US market. The other companies which Tesla does compete with have largely caught up and in some ways surpassed Tesla.

I wish this was true. At my org we had to add Chrome to the base image because otherwise we get so many tickets/calls about it even though we provide it via an internal software distribution service that any user has access to. People like what they like and are very resistant to change.

I wish that was true too.

I remember one place simply changed the icon and watched the issues drop.

People really can be creatures of habit.

Some enterprises i've seen put in their own icon for a web browser (imagine starting with an intranet) and that helps separate it a bit more.

This might not be for everyone, nor ideal in all cases but people seemed to be OK with the idea of having a dashboard to launch their work from.

I have fond memories of DVD menus from back in the day. I specifically remember getting my hands on an early release of 300 that was made for reviewers and was blown away by the beauty of the menu especially considering that menu was maybe meant to be seen by a couple thousand people at best.

I wish I still had access to it because looking now it was distinctly different from the actual release DVD menu.

I swear I was staring at these two examples for longer than I care to admit wondering if I was just blind or dumb or both.

It's modern C++ so, a little of both I think. 20 years of it and I still have people saying "I should work on my fundamentals" so it's totally fine to be a bit of both.

This comment is needlessly pedantic. Surely you're able to understand what their implication is.

Yeah, this is such a tired lazy response by people and is definitely not true anymore. Spin up a new account on a fresh device on a network I've never been on. Click a random video and scroll. Usually the first 3 or 4 scrolls is porn or someone being killed.

Anyone saying there isn't an insane amount of porn and worse on twitter is either lying or hasn't been on the site since it turned into the cesspool we have today.
