USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness (2021)

Im a non-FAANG developer so i cant comment on what all the sheep/ad devs are doing;

but I can comment on what a polygot cross-platform cross-cloud software engineer who supports a plethora of native portable devices integrations require, and thats USB hubs with ports coming out the ye-ha - otherwise im constantly playing musical chairs.

I commented that I didn’t have a need a lot of ports with my use case and you commented that you did with yours. Good HN discussion.

But why did you have to begin your comment with the condescending “all the sheep/ad devs”? It makes you look insecure and I only read beyond that because your comment was so brief.

There are machines with lots of ports and machines with few and someone’s choice of which to use is not a moral judgement.

I’m not a FAANG dev either, but no need to disparage them. That seems inappropriate and mean spirited.

The thing about a plain old USB hub is that it only costs $20-30.

It's a nice way to avoid the lunacy here.
