<p>Seat belt laws are an interesting example though because they only apply when driving on public roads. You can drive your car with no seat belt on a private track all day if you want to.</p>

<p>I agree with Epic. It should be like on windows or macOS where you can register, get notarized, and then distribute without scare screens. I don’t see why phones are inherently different than computers.</p>

<p>I don’t want to be too flippant, but I think there is a real trade off across many aspects of life between “freedom” and “safety”.<p>There is a point at which people have to think critically about what they are doing. We, as a society, should do our best to protect the vulnerable (elderly, mentally disabled, etc) but we must draw the line somewhere.<p>It’s the same thing in the outside world too - otherwise we could make compelling arguments about removing the right to drive cars, for example, due to all the traffic accidents (instead we add measures like seatbelts as a compromise, knowing it will never totally solve the issue).</p>

<p>Why? I'm an iOS developer and, while I don't love everything about liquid glass, that is the current design language of iOS.<p>I certainly don't think having my app sticking out like a sore thumb, using a design language from old outdated iOS versions is "a good thing"</p>

<p>The parent comment is seemingly blaming React for the decisions of Shadcn for some reason.<p>There’s nothing about React that requires you to overcomplicate your DOM (unlike many other UI frameworks).</p>

<p>Yeah unless you legitimately enjoy it, want the experience, or want to save up some money for a while - I don’t think it’s worth it (coming from someone that spent 10+ yrs at FAANG).<p>It’s certainly not apples to apples with any other random tech job to where you can just compare TC while ignoring level of stress. And the money is good but not life changing good.</p>

<p>I’ve been using Alfred for forever, but with the new Spotlight on Tahoe I’ve decided to just try using Spotlight alone.<p>So far I’ve been pretty happy with it. But I was never a heavy user of the Alfred power features (despite owning a lifetime license for Powerpack).</p>
