What's Ruby's popularity these days? Genuinely curious to gauge the trend for this language over Python and Javascript.

Your story is exactly why I see many capable people leaving the Valley putting all that BS behind. FAANG, those are where you find a bunch of incompetent managers, who never got to learn leadership, stealing your ideas to look good in front of their boss, draining your energy with stupid decisions a donkey wouldn't take, and unable to understand how to work with smart people.

Move on and get a new life. And before you get your next gig, go spend 10 days in a vipasanna center.

That's the whole point of OpenID. One account with one credentials, multiple profiles on multiple sites. Lazyness is good. Much better than creating n acoounts on multiple sites using the same passwords, getting the weakest site to be compromised silently and hackers streaming back to your other accounts from that one. I'd rather trust fb.com 2fa security team over joeschmoe.com's one.

A bit useless. Are they using it in the top ten (mail, web, cal, clock, etc.)? How much of Swift compared to ObjC code? Those are the real answers I would expect to read in your article.

Can't wait to see the 5D version. But seriously, what's the use of that? I don't get it.

I appreciate what you are saying. So many people assume that open source gives them the keys of the castle, while later they realize that a simple broadcom closed source driver puts the whole openess in the trash.

The symptoms you describe are what someone I know experiences. In the same situation of making a phone call, he give the handset to his wife. What's pathetic is that the operator insists on talking to him "in person" even if he sits next to her. Some of these trained operators apply their company rules to the letter so much that it feels almost barbaric.
