<p>I think it’s reasonable for the author to feel like Frontend is a treadmill. It can at times without a doubt be tiring. It  certainly was moving much, much faster in the 2010s (although, I think it started to cool down in the 2020s)<p>I don’t think this specific problem targeted at Frontend or Frontend frameworks is necessarily useful other than to vent. It seems this can be attributed as an effect of swelling technology communities. Frontend has been a community with explosions of ideas, high levels of participation and enthusiasm coupled with opportunities for notoriety and wealth.<p>One could argue that AI is currently experiencing a similar phenomenon as Frontend did in the 2010s. If it follows a similar trajectory, we’ll be seeing articles about AI treadmills.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't buy this conspiracy theory. The reason why they charge it could be as simple as they calculated the bandwidth usage following a ddos attack. It amounted to 104k worth of bandwidth usage. There system is not sophisticated enough to recognize it was a mistake due to attack on their site. Thus a manual intervention was needed, and now it's resolved.</p>

<p>This is very weird take. I'm struggling to understand why this is incident as a reflection of "super negative practices" or is somehow a "scam". The CEO came here and publicly apologized for the mistake and mis-communication, and the issue is resolved for the user with no charges. What am I missing?</p>

<p>That's good to know. However, there was a ton more information that existed in the right hand panel that was pretty important for translating design to code that is now removed.<p>For as long as I've used Figma, I've been able to view the underlying CSS. This is no longer there. I can get it, but I have to copy/paste it somewhere else to see it. Very annoying. This existed before "dev mode" was a thing. I think it's fair game if you want to make this experience better in "dev mode" to differentiate, but to take away a feature like that is and then try to upsell it a money-grab IMO.</p>

<p>Ouch. My team got bit by this today. TBH, I haven't been following what's necessarily included in "Dev Mode" and what's not. But, it appears with this move that they have redacted one of the most essential features of design/dev collaboration. (The ability to inspect, color, spacing, dimensions). This has always been available, until now. It's a lot more expensive, too. Dev Mode is just a huge price increase with not much value add IMO.</p>

<p>Speaking about the US only (w/o actual data to back it up, just a feeling over the last year) is that lower-wage jobs have been on the rise out of the sheer necessity for businesses to attract warm bodies. Folks in the middle (low-middle -> high-middle( have had their wages depressed and lowered while the wealthiest individuals have had no impact or have seen their wages increased at or beyond inflation. The combination of very wealthy folks doing better and the lower income earners having higher wages has created dissonance around the reporting in the overall health of the economy IME.</p>

<p>Although, I was hoping for forgiveness to proceed. The decision is not really the upsetting part (for me). IMO the interpretations of the legal framework and decisions for SCOTUS often quite conveniently align to modern political party lines.<p>As I've mentioned in another comment, SCOTUS is compromised by political interests despite the facade of impartiality. The legal framework we have is no different than the bible or quran or any other text that has produces religions, political parties or ideologies. There are many interpretations one could make about such texts, but somehow judgement often is split by modern party affiliation. It was kind of cool to think for a while that SCOTUS was just doing their job and above political polarization. I no longer hold faith in that belief.</p>

<p>Disappointed by the outcome, but not surprised. IMO SCOTUS is no longer trustworthy when it comes to impartiality. Polarization has infected every branch of government including SCOTUS. This judgement simply falls along US political party lines. Perhaps, it has never been the case. However, I think we have seen an  increase of conservative policy and interpretations of law become the standard due to a Republican super majority.</p>

<p>Giving children and teens unfettered access to social media and the internet seems to be more of a problem to me than any particular piece of hardware. The cell phone I had access to as a teen was a flip phone from Virgin Mobile that ran on "minutes". There was no web browser, no apps. I used it for texting and calling.<p>It's up to parents to control access to the content (unfortunately, the tools and hardware that exist for this sucks, which is unfortunate). So if you're dropping an unlocked iphone into your kids lap and walking away, well then maybe you're putting them at risk and neglecting them (which might be further causing mental health issues.)<p>My daughter is young now, but I will eventually run into this as she gets older. I've thought about this issue and I plan to lock down the content (either via software or targeted hardware) until she's an adult.</p>

<p>Good to get some other perspectives from OoT fans. I played it multiple times as a kid. No other video game came close in terms of the connection. It was the perfect game IMO.<p>My interest in video games declined greatly as the trend in the video game industry shifted toward heavy violence and more realistic graphics. Fast forward to last year, I decided to pick up the Switch as I found one for a really good deal. I wanted to try the new (to me) Zelda. I felt pretty unimpressed, decent not great. As it turned out, I had mistaken the much hyped BoTW release with the Zelda release that I bought. I was playing Skyward Sword.<p>Once I realized my error, I picked up BoTW and took it for spin. I now think the hype is totally justified. I got all the feelings I felt with OoT. It's been wonderful so far. I'm only about halfway through and stocked for Tears of the Kingdom.</p>

<p>Personally, I wish we could stop judging individuals without understanding the context. There may be a million different reasons for someone that needs frequent job changes in a four year periods. Asking good questions to candidates will be far more informative and useful to the business than having a set of rules for dismissal or judgement.<p>Furthermore, the company is rarely/never accountable for swiftly laying people off individuals that may otherwise be excellent workers.<p>Frankly, if a company is discarding CVs based on perceived loyalty, then I perhaps those same companies to provide candidates with a contract reciprocates that loyalty via generous raises and job security.</p>

<p>I'm with you. I've never found the "used by $BIG_NAME_COMPANY" to be influential for me at face value. But anecdotally, I think that level of marketing has been effective in getting devs to bring them up in that context. I've heard in meetings throughout my career, devs saying: "It's good enough for $BIG_NAME_COMPANY, it'd be good enough for us". That alone has influenced decision makers to at least consider it.</p>
