It's clear the barrier to creating software has been lowered and the current environment has been driven by money. The general experience with software we use has become markedly worse.
Excellent reporting.

When I first spoke out about the genocide, I was one of the few voices in tech, and it came at a cost.
I faced sabotage especially from the VC class: lies, leaks, threats, and blocked investments.
It was painful, but I never once regretted standing up for the children in Gaza.
Today, the tide in tech has shifted. The truth is undeniable.
If you’ve been holding back, now is the time to speak out and call out anyone supporting or celebrating genocide. It won’t cost you much—in fact, it will earn you respect, and more importantly a clear conscious. Plus, alienating those who will hate you for speaking is a feature, not a bug.
What's happening in Gaza is exposing a huge crack in western society. We say something like "this family was killed" or "this child was targeted" and the opposition is like "where's your proof?". There's an often unsaid response of "I know them!". It feels mind boggling for people to understand that we regularly speak with and are closely connected to humans thousands of miles away.
