Social media gives us what we want, good and hard
The key is recognising when an individual using the app as a tool to further their goals vs when an individual feels addicted. Definitely a discussing that will gain only more momentum as time progresses
@joeyhirendernath Certainly that's one way of looking at it. At some level it's about being honest about our "best" and "worst" natures. We are inveterate liars (to ourselves), and we'll make all sorts of excuses to indulge (or explain away the consequences). Eating junk food is about as nourishing as consuming the hype cycle is informative. Unfortunately, we have the wherewithal to call the former "junk" but the latter is still called "news."
Nice observation about how Lululemon cyclically gains market share (and then gives it back) around the holidays— due to their expensive products being gifted, but not bought as regularly as products like Nike.
Loved the note on Docker too—
When Kubernetes launched its own free open-source container orchestration platform it commoditized that feature set, which killed Docker's business model. Docker raised and burned $300 million and had to lay off 75% of its staff. Docker turned things around by pivoting back to refocus on their core audience of developers.
Docker creating paid features to make it easy for developers to build applications for Kubernetes and to ship to Kubernetes securely.
