Is it me, or does the Designed for Samsung Gaming Hub Logo look like a VR headset? (cc @SadlyItsBradley)

One of the major reasons for this, in my experience, is that at one point developer comfort was the only quality trait in software getting real attention.
It is hard to overstate how strong the push for object-oriented programming was. It even bled out into other fields like education (look up "learning objects"). You had to organize your programming projects into hierarchical classes and you would be ridiculed if you did not. Java and C# are a reflection of this era. It took 25 years for the obsession to die down. Basically, the gurus had to be given time to retire.
Object-oriented programming can work… but there are serious pitfalls that will make your projects harder to maintain and optimize. Deep inheritance is almost always a disaster.
The lesson is: don’t blindly embrace the latest things even if everyone is. Masses will lead you astray. Be critical.
Safari for visionOS simulator does not appear to include a web inspector I can connect with safari on macOS. Hmm.
xrOS was rumored to be the name, until we learned it was visionOS. This video (developer.apple.com/videos/p…) mentions xrOS. So the rumors weren't off, they just decided on a name change apparently.

It's amazing the Apple XR headset design hasn't leaked yet. I thought the days Apple could keep a design a secret were over.
But we still have a week. ;-)
These high resolution Micro OLED displays paired with pancake lenses will be so worth the wait. This feels the same as the general availability of capacative multitouch in 2007.
