Microsoft made something similar, years ago, at the presentation of their azure cognitive services. A camera randomly picked a live face from the audience, passed it through azure cognitive services and displayed the mood of the person in a video overlay.

You're more or less describing what happened to me when I changed from dev to dev team lead. I couldn't affort the time anymore to make code reviews, left that to my colleagues and only tested the resulting software. When it didn't work, I returned a bug task and then we iterated this until it worked.

No more joy in writing software. Instead my time is spend in writing user stories and specifications as good as possible.

Thanks for writing this. I couldn't agree any more. We've worked with .NET for decades and it really just works or lets you debug easily. Then we've started working on projects with Angular, React and Docker and it's just a nightmare to get a stable version.

What version are you using? Click 'Settings' -> 'Profile' (huge button on top) -> 'Subscriptions'. I don't know how it could be easier than that. Ah wait, pull down on the home screen for search, type 'subscriptions' and tap on the result for direct access to the setting. From there you can see and cancel any subscription made in the App Store.

I so badly wish we could change a big Windows business application to use PostgreSQL rather than Microsoft SQL Server just because of the licensing costs. SQL Server is a fantastic product, but restricted to 128GB RAM and a few CPU cores or you have to start paying so much, that not even our biggest customers can justify it.

Migration isn't easy, as this venerable application uses ADO.NET Datasets with TableAdapters and plenty of stored procedures. The syntax is almost compatible though. But not enough unfortunately.

For our next product, we're sure to bet on PostgreSQL instead.

Don't laugh, but we still have a big software solution based on jQuery Mobile up and running, used daily by hundreds of users on tablets and smartphones, and getting new features every few weeks.

(yes, a successor is planned, but it will be a huge amount of work)

While I'm a great fan of ubiquitous tech/computing in general, I must also say that it feels weird applying firmware updates to light bulbs. However, you want to stay safe these days, so it's better to keep up to date, right?
