It's akin to "single payer" in the health insurance context. If you're not already well-versed in the subject, you probably won't know what it means, because it's focusing on the process rather than the intended result.

There's some survivorship bias at play in this; it disregards all the startups that never reached the "later" point because they were too busy polishing the code.
> If everyone sits at home doing nothing, you bet inflation will happen
Why would people sitting at home doing nothing be detrimental to growth? Growth doesn't necessarily require masses of people to do more work; it can be achieved through productivity gains, e.g. improvements in tooling, and research + development.
I've been getting playback glitches in Logic* with a 2020 MPB 16" running (as shipped) with Catalina.
It seems to only happen when using the built-in speakers. I never hear glitches using headphones (which is what I have as the default audio interface for Logic).
So I just use headphones all the time, but it's an incredibly negative experience to pop open one of your projects on your new laptop and hear this rhythmic popping. If it had also glitched in the headphones I might literally have thrown the laptop out the window.
