The same way WWI ended for Europe, with the US taking over the world. Which company would be least hurt by the nuclear option being used on all sides and has piles of cash to redevelop everything in house? My guess is Apple.

We use it at work for debugging small snippets, e.g. "why does this loop kill performance?". Throw in Jitsi for talking/videoing while doing that and we don't really need anything else 'enterprise'.

Being 18 anytime between 1948 and 1988 was worse. People forget that everyone expected a nuclear war to kill all of us in a way that makes climate change seem like a nice relaxing day at the beach.
