Re:Using a "proper" camera as a webcam

The key to this is really to find the "good enough" solution. For me that was a Sony RX100 Mk V that I already owned plugged into a £25 USB-HDMI capture card. No software required. There is an option to remove the default overlay just for mini-HDMI output in the camera settings.
The increase in quality compared to even the "high-end" webcams is significant, with only a minor increase in complexity. I think if your solution requires you to start faffing around with proprietary camera software or OBS then you've gone too far.
I also agree with other commenters in that a higher quality microphone is far more important. I personally use a Rode Procaster into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB interface, but I also use the microphone for professional use. Even something as simple as an external USB microphone (e.g. AT2020USB+ [1]) is going be a massive improvement to *the people who need to listen to you*.

Are you mandating video in meetings? Why would he need to drop when he can just turn off the camera? This seems more like a human problem than a technology problem.

60 million is a drop on the bucket compared to how many cows humans raise for the purpose of food. This is a dumb take.

I should clarify - I don't disagree that rolling back and fixing the bug (or in a continuous delivery world - fixing forward as a priority) is the right thing to do. I'm just saying the article leaves out a lot of details and fails to articulate the reasons why the road taken was bad.

This article fails to mention the consequences of the rush to push version B, rather than rollback to resolve. As far as I can tell the result met the needs of the business?

I really like this. Feels easy on the eyes (at least to me). I've used Fira Code for as long as I can remember, but going to give this a go!
