I was always curious how someone with a developer/freelancer background transitions to product management or developer evangelist roles? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to do this transition internally rather than as a new hire?

My biggest issue with 80,000 hours is that it's a rational, but radically uninspiring advice in the end. It is a framework for those who buy into "don't follow your passion advice", and try to maximize their utility func

Surely it meant to say, $10/ year for domain registration? Either way, this is still nonsense. Besides App Store developer license can be reused for other apps and comes with other additional benefits.
