You do realize that the ifixit solderimg iron also has firmware and that you need to connect it to a computer or their very expensive battery pack to adjust its settings, right?

They're the same. Apple just has better marketing.

You're lucky because, if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to change a single thing.

The dude hires people for programming positions and a lot of people use their GitHub as a portfolio, basically. He was saying that if you don't have that, you're basically not even considered for the job.

In summary, this specific case was about it being basically a requirement to program 24/7. Which is pretty toxic.

Then you're lacking context and have been arguing without understanding what I was referring to.

Luke at LTT works in the development side of the company (floatplane for example) and the "side projects" are public repos in github/gitlab/etc.

"easily"? Please, name one device that has UWB and doesn't include bluetooth.

Besides, if this is included in 6.0 and assuming it does cost much more per chip, where's the harm in having a better feature set? This seems like an incredibly pointless discussion.

But it's still sitting in front of a computer programming. I do that but not that often. I'm already programming 8-9 hours a day. My interests go way beyond that.

Well yeah, it hasn't been released yet. Is this your idea of a joke?

Not all phones have UWB. On the other hand, they do have Bluetooth.

Having hobbies outside of your profession does not mean you're a "drone". Quite the opposite.

I think we misunderstood each other. I was also referring to the company. Well, both actually.

None of the things you mentioned justify having a toxic hiring policy/work culture.
