Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.

Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.

Because security through obscurity is not security at all.

I’ve been a big fan of monorepos because it leads to more consistent style and coding across the whole company. It makes the code more transparent so you can see what’s going on with the rest of the company, too, which helps reduce code islands and duplicated work. It enables me to build everything from source, which helps catch bugs that would only show up in prod due to version drift. It also means that I can do massive refactorings across the company without breaking anything.

That said, tooling is slowly improving for decentralized repos, so some of these may be doable on git now/soon.

They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.

Regarding the cognitive dissonance required to A) value decentralization of power, and also B) support the CCP: 🤦

It’s simple: People who gain from misinformation create platforms that empower bots and sockpuppets.
