I was thinking he didn't want the crime to be pinned on a british person because he was so tired of being prosecuted? It felt like an attack on British people because it suggests they're so lascivious that extreme measures (like tackling a knife wielder) are necessary to protect their fragile image?
you've got two important ideas I want to separate; people moving towards concern for welfare of company over people, and product pricing.
Enshittification (platform decay) describes the pattern where products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, passionate developers create things that match their vision, and consumers benefit from this labor of love. Eventually they degrade their services to maximize profits for shareholders.
Inside the company, it's because the owners get rich and money is more important to them than their vision.
Outside the company, customers favor big corporations because they think small companies aren't successful companies. Many people would be surprised to learn that small businesses employ 45.9% of American workers, or about 59 million people. It's not that the small companies "haven't made it yet". They're literally the backbone of our economy.
As for product pricing, I'm with you 100%. Buy dollar store shampoo that smells good, it's the only bottle in my shower. It's exactly as effective as the pricey stuff.
riot games settles for 100 million dollars after sexually harassing its own employees.
Male employees (developers, I think) engaged in drunken "panty raids" where they would crowd into a woman's cubicle and take things from her while she worked.
Riot games chose to pay these women to go away, rather than fix the problem.
They make League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. I will never spend another dollar on their products.
In software, business logic is the non-technical requirements. For example, users with the "trainer" role can only take on four "trainees" maximum and cannot train each other. Note there was no discussion of code in that example, it was just a requirement of a system that a software developer will have to meet.
This is a good job
