This misses the biggest problem I see that has been unquestionably standardized. Living Software. At least once a week I open an app that I use regularly and it interrupts me with a notification "we've added xyz, check it out!"....like...thanks a lot for interrupting me from using your application. Or the periodic UI revamps that force me to relearn how to use something I already knew how to use. There has to be some point where we all say..."alright...enough is enough...it's done..."
Almost my entire day is spent in meetings with at least three of these characteristics. I love it. I get paid to just go from meeting to meeting and talk to people. It's been like this for so long that I'm afraid to try and go back to writing code. This is so much easier.
I am pretty sure I would be a great city planner based on my extensive collection of utopian simulations in Cities Skylines. Though I would have to take a huge payout to do far more important work, so I will have to pass.
This might not belong here but I think there's something to be said for the changes Google makes and is currently making around Performance and Page Ranking. Black box bullsh!t metrics forcing everyone to appease the magical algorithms in their highly questionable tool. Their own framework fails here significantly.
I have been reading HN for a long time but your comment is the first time I violently felt the need to create an account and respond. I want you to consider how significant that is. Ternaries are NEVER easier to read.
