What businesses need is management services and business applications. Those exist for Apple as well, but two significant headwinds: 1) inertia of essentially every major business on earth using MS Active Directory means there are enormous support and ecosystem benefits, and 2) cost.

And to the counterexample, the country is full of developers who just want to do their 40 hours and go home to their entirely unrelated life and hobbies. Incidentally, I have a friend who just got a job like this. He's the only developer in a regional materials company, and he loves being done with work at 5 (usually closer to 4) so he can go hang out with his kid.

LLMs are shifting that ecosystem (at least temporarily) and new revenue models will emerge. It'll take time to figure out. But we shouldn't artificially support a bad system just because it's the existing system.

Transitions are always awkward. In the meantime, I'm inclined to give people rope to experiment.

Yup, I believe that's their point. If you realize the reason you want to be rich can be had for less cost than actually becoming rich, you can save yourself a lot of time and stress.

Anecdotally, I cut my salary by 60% this year to directly pursue what I wanted, instead of saving to do it years later. I suppose I may regret it some day, but at this point I'm confident it was the right choice.

That defeats my primary use case for MRP: not needing to think about nutrition. I hate cooking, I hate cleaning, and eating out all the time feels wasteful. I just want quick, healthy meals with a decent shelf life.

Funding should always be considered, but is not cause to discount otherwise valid methodologies and findings.

Everyone does NOT agree on the ethics of force-feeding this model on non-technical users without meaningful and informed consent. Toss in lack of transparent or comprehensive opt-out and misleading adoption strategy and you have a real problem.

Microsoft's market share in consumer computing is still massive and what they decide to do matters. It is worth talking about.

I hate to be this guy, but you don't want to offer IR/forensic services if you don't have experience doing exactly that.

Hire an incident response firm. They can usually react next day if you can sign a contract today.
