I have the Gen 9 running on Fedora and while it's been mostly smooth sailing, it struggles a lot with Wifi on my new mesh (after moving home) and screensharing on it via google meet (and other apps) is painfully slow to the point where

Admittedly I haven't worked on a large multi team react project before but I thought the whole point was that Facebook found React scaled well with teams (vs the state of the art at the time) Not only can you componentise your UI code,

I had a globally distributed family and WhatsApp was literally a life changer for me back in 2009/2010. I'm sure other people in a similar position will also know what I'm talking about. It was super lightweight, cheap, multi

I don't disagree but just labelling as survivorship bias feels like quite a low effort remark. Maybe I'm just romantic, it seems to me that the perfect storm of having the person with good product intuition also in the founder spo
