<p>Collecting invoices is cash accounting, whereas revenue is realized only over the length of the contract and doesn’t care when the customer pays. (Of course sometimes you have a short-term contract including for professional services and such, but not to the point where a single day would likely be particularly inflated.)</p>

<p>“30% of viewing” I think clearly means either time played or items played. I’ve never worked with a data team that would possibly write that and mean users.<p>If it was a stat about users they’d say “of users”, “of members”, “of active watchers”, or similar. If they wanted to be ambiguous they’d say “has reached 30% adoption” or something.</p>

<p>The endpoint is not whatever the client asks for. It's marked specifically as exposed to the user with "use server". Of course the people who designed this recognize that this is designing an RPC system.<p>A similar bug could be introduced in the implementation of other RPC systems too. It's not entirely specific to this design.<p>(I contribute to React but not really on RSC.)</p>

<p>Comments are usually for explaining why code is doing what it’s doing. If you write just<p>// If the user triple-clicks this button, the click handler errors because [xyz]<p>then it’s less clear at a glance that this behavior is undesirable. Is this a bug, or is it supposed to be this way? “TODO” is a quick marker that (to me) means “here’s something that is not ideal and may be worth keeping in mind if you are working on this code”.<p>If you or your reviewers know that it’s not OK for the fix to never be implemented, then of course, track it somewhere where it will get done. My experience is that discouraging TODO comments leads to less-documented code, not better code.</p>

<p>This license with the custom clause seems equivalent to dual-licensing the product under the following licenses combined:<p>* Small companies may use it without attribution<p>* Anyone may use it with attribution<p>The first may not be OSI compatible, but if the second license is then it’s fair to call the offering open weights, in the same way that dual-licensing software under GPL and a commercial license is a type of open source.<p>Presumably the restriction on discrimination relates to license terms which grant _no_ valid open source license to some group of people.</p>
