Really not looking forward to a regulated software industry. It will cause a lot of gatekeeping and bureaucracy. It's one of those things that may seem good, but in practice, it's pure waste in every way imaginable. Will just lead to exclusivity, gatekeeping and artificial friction. This is a hill I'm willing to die on. Those making software have plenty of incentives to make it good, and bad software is punished already to the fullest extend (because it's not fun to get compromised or your reputation ruined; this is a natural incentive) | ||||||||

Not a very good one given the frequent data leaks from large companies. May not be fun but the bottom line continues along unabated. | ||||||||

Yeah, I hate all those terrible regulations that keep people from burning alive in their homes too. Godddamn goverment saving lives, it's so slightly annoying. Wait. Wasn't there a whole group of people who thought this way recently? Wasn't it called the Department of Government Efficiency? Wasn't it led by a rich tech bro who wants to live on Mars? Didn't they get disbanded because it was a bunch of armchair experts who knew nothing about government and couldn't make anything efficient? Maybe you want to apply to whatever they're working on next? | ||||||||
