On the "making life" conversation, agreed. I know a lot of us don't wanna go down that rabbit hole because we're not religious, and indeed this is a conversation that on some level requires talking about religion, but as a person that IS religious, we do have to look at the fact that we simply can't create life, we can only reproduce life from pre-existing life in accordance to current laws of science. For the ones that make the argument that we have already created life with synthetic cells, all that proved is that the complexity it took to create such cells required intervention by another person. This is in line with the fact that our biological substances, such as DNA, proteins, and enzymes, can't exist without each other, pointing to the fact that something had to have put them together to be able to coordinate and create new cells. For me at least, that points to the requirement of someone intervening to make life possible.

@ThePrimeTime there's a few problems with implementing this take. To be competitive with job hunting, you need to know more than one language. Most of the jobs are in JS, Python, Java, C++ and so forth. From there, some of these languages I don't really like working with, I much prefer Dart, Go, and Kotlin, but the opportunities to work with these languages (or just one's preferred ones) can be so low that you're forced to follow the industry, even if you try advocating for using newer languages. So the point is, in this industry, unless you adhere to JS, Python, Java, or C++, you can't become a master on the language you want to work with. It always ends up about being adaptible to what the jobs give you vs being allowed to work with what you want.
Also, this is a good take, but the writer can be a real scumbag. He's the type of person who insults people for using TS instead of JS for no good reason even though TS has clearly become the better approach to writing code faster and with less bugs.

Regarding the apple prerogative, in an ideal world, everyone uses the same "system" and develops for the same hardware and it's all efficient (unless you need a specialized computer for a very specific use case). That said, I have vehemently opposed apple's walled-garden approach for many reasons that go beyond development:
- They overprice their products, which means if they ever get 100% control of the market, lower-income families have less access to tech resources.
- The way they build their computers is without the ability for us to repair them ourselves.
- To build apps for their system, we are forced to buy their hardware. Not unlike Windows were they have first-class frameworks (Win UI 3, WPF, etc.) but we can build with Python and friends, download directly and install without having to go through a store.
- Most importantly, because of this prestige that they portray through their marketing, they are promoting a cultist attitude where if you don't own apple products, you are inferior.
For these reasons, I oppose apple, and it would be better to force them to change their walled-garden policy.
