I mean, he's not wrong that the app wasn't ready. Which begs the question why they didn't un-roll-it-out. >.>

Except companies would be more careful about what they develop, more focused with their resources, and restructure their hardware and software to be easily open sourced without leaking legitimately-proprietary IP — instead of closed sourcing everything because it's easy, vendor lock-in, planned obsolescence, and fuck-you-pay-me!

Obviously all of this depends on whether you have a government by the people, for the people, instead of a corporate oligarchy masquerading as a democracy... So we're all fucked and I'm daydreaming in some star trek fantasy socialist utopia!

I appreciate the notion, but I fear it would probably just result in management saying “just NERD HARDER”. The flip side of being more careful and focused is being less flexible. Not gonna replace that ancient foundational framework that was deprecated in 2015 if it risks legal liability.
