   You're comparing a 10+ year old company with a company that has a product in beta. I don't think this is a valid comparison. I'm sure they'll provide enterprise level contracts and support for large installation at some

   That's why I'm advocating for a kill switch. I think its reasonable for developers of desktop application to collect some reasonable amount of anonymized information to improve the product, as long as they allow users to clearly o

   There are 1000s of developers who use the terminal for simple things like running dev workflows - git checkout, build, edit code, send a PR, etc. It seems wrap is trying automate things here to help these developers. Just because there are

   1000s of developers use Idea's IntelliJ, Webstorm and GoLand. Only the community edition of IntelliJ is open source. Software doesn't need to be open source for it to be adopted, if they have the right security practices and I&#x2

   VSCode collects stats and that's where all the proprietary code of your company is. As long as there is a kill switch, I feel this community is focusing too much on this.

   India has a huge problem with spam / robo callers. Also its common for individuals to have more than 1 phone number, see how popular dual sim phones are. Also true caller adds security when you're from an under represented or a mi

    I actually thought Stripe did decently here, there were periods of silence which sucks. It's odd that you feel they are obligated to explain their internal processes with you? Things they did right: 1. Immediately acknowledge the issue

    Backwards compatibility would be even more important in that case. I've worked in product teams and we did all sorts of experiments to understand customer usecases before making a decision like this.

    I don't work at Google, but do at a large tech firm. Backward compatibility is sacrosanct, breaking older clients, means getting approvals many levels up in the chain, writing decision docs and showing data about what % of customers wi

    How does a company like Google end up doing this? I'm assuming a decision like this has multiple stakeholders? Is there nobody in the room who is the voice of the customer?

    Bro, you wanna send a bunch of emails to keep up with your friends. Facebook is and was the truly first social media for the masses. I hate Facebook, but I will buy its stock, and I will make money.
