We went from “everyone will know how to code in the future” to “no one know will know how to code” pretty quickly
There's always a purpose for those marble abs.
For those who may have forgotten, the little prince of Meta more or less started with Facemash, a site that displayed two photos side by side and asked users to vote for which person was "more attractive," using a mechanism similar to "Hot or Not."
All "funny" if it weren't for:
- Privacy: using photographs of people without consent would often violate regulations and, in many countries, personal data protection laws.
- Consent: the people depicted had not chosen to participate.
- Objectification: asking people to rank solely based on their physical appearance can be seen as a form of objectification and can contribute to a disrespectful environment.
- Possible psychological effects: this type of public comparison can affect self-esteem and exclude or humiliate some people.
Not to mention what happened with Cambridge Analytica.
What do people expect from a mind like that?
The artist underestimated himself, $60 is not enough for this masterpiece
Great decision, I can't imagine having to review maybe five thousand lines of code only to find out that it's just slop and less can get a better result.
It's truly touching how that man says, "It must have cost a fortune" for what his employees did for him. People who dedicate even a small portion of their working time to helping people, even a small gesture, and not just for money, deserve better in this world.
True, but I think the fact that a good portion of the services were the "first" to be used also comes into play.
As an example, I always think of WhatsApp, which in my country has (unfortunately) become the messaging service used by everyone, even businesses. WhatsApp was the first to arrive in a market where no one else offered that service (or offered it at its level), and thanks to this, it has gained a following of users who now, out of laziness, don't want to switch services even though they (perhaps) realize that there are better ones out there.
For many, they use it simply out of habit and the laziness of not wanting to switch to something else. Like those who used Internet Explorer because installing another, clearly better, browser was too much of a hassle.
Adding insult to injury.
Satire or not, the guy is describing a possible future of shit where I hope not to be there.

Strange, I thought that paying more and more to get, in most cases, less and less was a good business move.
