I believe you're thinking of Mark Gurman. Ming- Chi Kuo tends to have a better track record... although still not perfect. Gurman's predictions are definitely like a coin flip.

I agree Apple's phones are overly expensive, but - there is a cost associated with miniaturization and having to engineer for smaller space. Making a $599 laptop should be easier than a $599 phone with equivalent computing power.

It's of the reasons why thin, light laptops cost more than thick, heavy laptops - especially back when they first went mainstream.

If it happens, it at least isn't an actively bad idea like the touch bar was.

I unfortunately have a (last-gen Intel) MacBook Pro with a touch bar. Even after several years, I am constantly accidentally triggering things I don't want... it's just too easy to graze the touchbar when you're hitting a number key. And before you say "just map it to function keys" - all that will accomplish is to change what I'm accidentally triggering.

I've been in the "Permanent Daylight Saving Time" camp for a long time. However, I'll be retiring soon... so at this point I really don't care. Change nothing or change everything... blessedly I'll be away from it.

Then you haven't been listening.

Most people aren't in control of their own schedules - it's as simple as that.

The most important takeaway today's kids should learn from the success of people like Gates, Musk, et. al. is - PICK YOUR PARENTS WISELY.

I can think of other possible explanations.

- If they are unfamiliar with your application, it's not trivial for them to definitively determine that yours is the real one.
- The app store is huge and they don't adequately staff the group responsible for investigating these sorts of claims.
- Some combination of the above explanations (including yours).

How did you send them their job offer?

After reading the title (mistake #1, I know), I assumed this was a story about how people employed in senior positions at large companies are finding themselves stuck babysitting newly-hired "vibe coders". Instead, I find a story about a former web developer who's apparently now trying to develop and sell LLMs.

I have no idea what her skill level was as a web developer, but - it sounds like she has zero experience with the sort of thing she's trying to do now. Which is fine, I guess, but she isn't a "senior developer" by any stretch of the imagination.

For some time, Microsoft has been shoving copilot into pretty much *all* of their apps, and then updating them in an attempt to force / beg people to make use of it.

Mr. Trump apparently didn't get the memo... "I run the country and the world":

FWIW we have a couple recently-purchased servers that still came with VGA ports (although they have DisplayPort as well).

On the other hand, some switches we purchased only offer RJ-45 console access.

For this application, I'd argue short cable-based versions of USB A to USB C adapters are a better choice - and you can still keep them permanently attached to your USB A peripherals.

In cold weather, fuel efficiency in gasoline-powered cars goes down as well... by 15% on average.
