So it's not the speed like the title says? Lol

Yeah I seen if you post a specific corporation name, your topic will be bombarded by some companies astroturfing.

You bet every fortune 500 company has a reputation management company willing to "guide the conversation" with a few positive comments and a barrage of upvotes/downvoted.

For starters let's stop using "Walled garden" as the phrasing. "Absolute dictatorship" is more like it.

The users and developers are at the will of our FAANG dictators.

As much as I hate Google for getting rid of services, I love how easy it is to distribute apks without Google.

And if you play ball with Apple, you are encouraging the problem.

Why bother? Computing is blazing fast already. Anything that is slow should use multi threading.

There's a reason most computers compromise on the processor performance, we don't need it. Take that extra few hundred and give me more ram and a better video card.

They could at significant expense.

But why would they? The users don't buy for performance.

I see Apple following the path of Nintendo. They don't need to compete on performance, their users aren't buying for performance. Vertical integration puts you at tremendous risk of falling behind.

The future is keeping Apple "fresh", "cool", etc... While keeping product costs low to compensate for a falling market share.

Really says something that Apple is willing to compromise on long term hardware performance.

Today all of this is exciting, but I have a bad feeling this is going to slide Apple towards a low performance future.

They Apple'd themselves and locked themselves in.

In 2 years, secrets aside, Apple would need to beat all 3 big dogs to be the top. How long can they sustain that?

Wow this really explains why it seemed like people who were at a company for ~7 years seemed like such trash.

The 30 year seniors were pretty good despite their ignorance of the world outside their company.

The newbies have something to prove.

And it takes about 10 years to have a recession... To cut the fat.

Is there any disadvantage to being a "forever newbie" at companies? I learn sooo much when I change jobs. I can't imagine 7 years in 1 position is good for your career outside a chance at management.
