A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, this has served as a massive wake-up call to a lot of talented devs. It will ultimately result in more talent choosing to focus on the "alternatives," which is good. It's too bad its happening this way, but the process was never going to be pleasant.
If you build your app against a major corporation, they are just a bad earnings call away from destroying your entire world. A lesson I was hoping that Reddit wouldn't be the one to make, but here we are I guess.
Build against open source, every time. Closed source will throw you away
