Ah, quoting taken out of context.
The passage of mine you quote here can be (and is) entirely correct within the context of the very specific claim to which I was explicitly responding (within the jurisdictional context to which I explicitly referred) but, in saying this and later comments, I was also aiming to point out that it can be (and is) also the case that the wider claims in the media, both anti-competition/anti-Uber and pro-Uber/pro-new market entrant, are not necessarily either clear cut or necessarily to be taken as gospel.

Of course they did. They're for sale. Maybe Uber offered a better deal. Your straw man is a Utopia, but the problem is that it doesn't exist.

Most developers today spend more time writing API calls and finding open-source projects – and maintaining those applications once they’re created – than they do writing code for innovative new features. It's also about swearing, begging, and searching

Quote: t looks nothing like “your father’s app dev,” which involved a code editor, compiler, and few other tools. In today’s world, we see developers struggling under the weight of an ever-expanding toolbox
Ah yeah, because 2000s dev, where write in one application, then another app (or command prompt) to source control if lucky. than open command prompt again to compile, and then zip the lot to remote to server and attempt to deploy it without completely borking the system
Yes, visual studio and other IDE (I assume iv only seen vs and vs code in last 10 years) - are daunting with many bells and whistles, but end to end application life, and deploy can be 90% done in one ide, that is amazon. Many menus ignored, but when need to do that 1 thing, its there and works (not always intuitively but works), and failing that a packing download second away from a vast community to add that support feature, or bug fix.
As to increasing maintenance over new features, well yeah depends on perspective. Work 5 years on 1 project with 2 years of that intensive testing and fixing before final no touch no more release, or 2 months POC, then into "maintenance " aka extending functionality.

One of my favourite uses for the GPT-3 AI language model is generating explanations of how code works. It’s shockingly effective at this: its training set clearly include a vast amount of source code 'i' is a variable. It was just assigned a value of '1'

Twitter's board of directors, meanwhile, said it is prepared to take legal action to ensure the deal closes at a price of $54.20 per share. Can you say "buyer's remorse" in 140 characters?

Musk's claim that Twitter has far more than 5% bot accounts is the basis for his withdrawal. I've been very amused at the firings and departures from Twitter since Musk made the buy announcement back in April. I wonder how many of the folks who left were responsible for the toxic work environment (based on a conversation I overheard last week from a former Twitter employee) and the outright banning, shadow banning, and blocking of accounts held by political conservatives.
