<p>Maybe it’s a process. Many of the transitions you mentioned did bring shitty apps (not all of them, the ones replacing tech for tech were mostly ok, the ones democratizing dev did come with a quality drop), but eventually Darwinism will take effect and trim the long tail.<p>Coding per se is not hard. Proper engineering is. I do hope this change brings a change in focus (people train in algorithms, efficiency, solid development patterns) but I am afraid it won’t be the case.</p>

<p>I feel like it will be like going back to the 80s, when PCs became a norm and most programmers and hobbyists could code without the need of a University or a Corporation.  Thousands of shareware apps you had to navigate, everyone trying to solve the same problems from different angles..<p>I do agree quality will be missed, and shadow IT will be again a big issue like at the end of the 80s and early 90s.</p>

<p>Also Fastmail user for many years, with custom domain.  I use specific email addresses per service with Bitwarden’s recent feature (by hand before this). My personal address is shared with few people.<p>I set up specific folders based on aliases. Thanks to GDPR I have found a few companies that have shared / sold my data illegally (the company-assigned address popped up somewhere else) and managed to have them delete my data right away.<p>I fret losing my domain, and that my recovery addresses are Gmail and Outlook - which could be lost at any time.<p>I would like to see government issue a lifetime inbox in the same way they issue you a SSN, a passport or driver license so I can have that as last line recovery.<p>But on the other hand, if we had that politicians would likely enforce mandatory identification across all web services…</p>

<p>Some Latin American cities were designed as grids (100m x 100m squares), and numbering of blocks spans a hundred per block (first block is 0 to 100 house numbers).<p>So if you are at 200s in one street and are looking for a house at 1200s, you know you are a kilometer away.<p>This with numbered streets is awesome to navigate.  Buenos Aires has the first, but named streets. La Plata in Argentina has both.<p>If you are into maps see an air pic of La Plata.<p><a href="https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2X59727/detailed-map-of-la-plata-city-argentina-municipal-administrative-area-map-with-rivers-and-roads-parks-and-railways-vector-illustration-2X59727.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2X59727/detailed-map-of-la-plata-c...</a></p>

<p>I bought two office phones for 30 euros each (Yealink) and set up a VOIP plan with voip.ms for my 8 and 9 YO kids.<p>I recently got divorced, so there is a phone at each house in case they want to reach out to the other parent directly. Ex and I did not want the kids to feel their right to reach the other parent needed to ask for permission<p>Family has Softphone in their mobiles, so the full family is a speed dial away.<p>I also whitelist numbers they can dial out.<p>So far it’s working like a charm, they love it.</p>

<p>Seems quite dangerous. In my country, this was the norm for local flights - usually smaller planes, 1-2hr flights.   It was common that if you could not attend a meeting, a colleague would go with your ticket. Nobody cared.<p>Then one plane crashed. And some passengers weren't insured, as they were not officially on the plane.  Those families could not get a body back, nor any compensation, as the company said that they could not prove they were on the plane.<p>I don't read the small print of IATA when getting a ticket, maybe I should someday.</p>

<p>The problem itself is not IP protection…. They tried that, and were always chasing behind - servers changed week after week, ban after ban.<p>So, misteriously (suspicions of bribery abound) now they block full blocks of internet preventively, bringing down innocent and paying customers with them.  From Law Enforcement to privatized Minority Report.<p>Thats what people dislike. If you are a private entity and loose money to piracy, use the legal framework to solve it. Don’t override it with lobbying</p>
