This seems really cool with very underwhelming specs. They maybe enough for people just getting started, especially at that price point. I think if there are lots of ready to go projects and easily purchasable kits for parts this could be a really great intro for cheap

People hated steam when it launched but you needed it to play CS 1.6. It made installing mods easier. Then HL2 released, orange box, and they were able to get a critical mass as they provided platforms support for other games. Steam got better. It’s still not great but they have so much market share that basically any PC gamer already has it. Epic wants some of that money. The problem is nobody wants to install another store and they aren’t doing anything to improve gamer’s experience other than giving away games and having some exclusives. They’ll never hit the critical mass needed that way.

Fleet was a terrible product. I’m a long time jetbrains user and still use goland, rust rover, and clion. I was really excited when it got announced because I had had a lot of issues with vs code, extensions, and lsp at the time. I was hoping jetbrains was going to build something competitive but it never materialized. Rather than building something lightweight and fast on a native ui toolkit with faster analysis engines they basically built on top of a lot of the tech that was the bad parts of their existing IDEs. important features and the ability for community extensions to fill them never came to fleet which meant it never could replace other tools for real work and jetbrains seemed to focus on building LLM features to capture the hype rather than fixing the issues people have with their existing products. Instead they have mediocre ai features that are essentially commoditized and IDEs that are under invested in that are sluggish. In terms of full batteries included IDEs they’re still probably the best, but they’re losing a lot of the market.

Up or out generally stops once someone reaches engineer or sr engineer. Most of the time a jr engineer is going to need substantial mentoring and support. Them never moving beyond that point likely results in a net negative gain if you need another person always available to provide that for their entire time there if it goes beyond 1-2 years.

When using a resident/discoverable credential the authenticator is supposed to authenticate the user (using a pin, biometrics, etc.) This fulfills the multi-factor requirement. All passkeys/webauthn credentials are something you have and you can use a something to know/something to are to unlock the credential stored on the authenticator.
