Once heard a coach say that luck was just preparation meeting opportunity. In other words, you’ll be “lucky” if you put yourself in a position to succeed whenever opportunity comes.

I just want myself and consumers as a whole to be protected from predatory developers. Regarding the regulatory changes, I'd be happy with one of two things: A) Governments impose restrictions on third party developers that are largely

Regardless of whatever good intent regulators have for "freedom" or whatever, I feel like these efforts will just result in predatory developers having more freedom to prey on their users, and ultimately a worse experience for end

Or, you know, developers could be thoughtful enough to create a half decent UX. That's not asking for a lot. I'm happy a significant portion of consumers have been trained to expect better than the bare minimum in terms of UX.
