lol, no. Confidential business information is an area heavily protected by law. Customer lists are the canonical example. It’s much easier to win this kind of civil suit than a criminal case. The court can absolutely crush a business that i

I don't know, there's plenty of people competing over social progress, competing over moral progress, and completing over leisure. I suspect that Mr Mill would take a dim view of this.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here, backups in cloud storage are a fraction of the cost of data in Firebase. I used to work with a 300GB Firebase instance and we never worried about backup costs.

I semi-agree but my take is that money can buy you people, it can buy you lines of code, more moving parts, more stuff. But it can’t buy elegance, efficiency and good design - those have to be nurtured. Most engineers nowadays haven’t ever
