     @arstechnica After ~30 years in IT, and mostly using Open Source software . . . can we ever stop expecting corporations to "care" about things? They don't, they didn't, and never will.
     If you are developing something on a proprietary stack you are going to get screwed, it is inevitable.

     @arstechnica @arstechnica Thanks for the detailed article. From all the NDAs flying around it seems Reddit made some sweetheart deals with handpicked devs after the Apollo blowback. Good for those devs I guess but I haven’t used the website since, and I avoid clicking on search results when looking up stuff. Reddit, meet MySpace.
