When I come across these "Steve Jobs would've never done this" clickbait posts, I always wonder who knew Steve better -- random poster on the internet or folks at Apple.

Cant help but think they should reduce their store footprint and increase product density. I personally would love to buy a monitor after looking at it physically in-store but I want a good selection, not the 2 random monitors they happen to have in-stock that meet my size, resolution requirements. If I have to buy online, amazon is cheaper.

You get to vote by not purchasing an iPhone and buying an android that has usb-c. You have no divine right to a device running a proprietery Operating System developed by a company with a port of your choice if said company doesn't want to manufacture it as such.

So I am someone who has done a masters in CS but it was completely coursework and project-based. I have regretted not doing any "research" or having any papers published. I guess, I just want to experience the whole process of diving deep into a topic and coming up with something new. Now, I'm about 3 years into my career as software engineer working on data infrastructure for a data science org in a large non-tech company. Could I potentially volunteer my coding skills to a professor who has a lab in some field I am interested in and join in their work in my personal time. I never thought that is possible. I'd actually like that. Can someone who has any experience or seen something like this comment?

I would say I'm in a somewhat similar boat where I believe the work and problems I get to work on are very unexplored and super interesting but the company and industry doesn't "value" software engineers at the moment. Tbh, in a capitalist society, I cannot accept that and am looking for a change. Give me cash or give me stocks in the company, neither and you just take me for a fool. I am sincerely curious what your thoughts are on this, why would you accept a massive paycut to work on something interesting for a company that makes $$ off your work?
