For example:
Does 80% of the code come from 20% of the functionality?
Do 80% of bugs come from 20% of features?
Does 80% of software complexity come from 20% of the functionality?
Dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge appear to have some utility (particularly while Covid remains an issue), but opinions on these apps are pretty varied. Some people give them glowing praise while others criticise the incentives of the app-makers or argue that they scam people out of their money.
Based on this, it's feels like a reasonable stance to avoid such apps if they are just a means to siphon one's data, money, and attention with only some unknown gain in return.
I'm interested to know what those in the community think about these apps... Are the data privacy trade-offs worth it? What other risks might people overlook when using these apps? Are any particular apps more or less secure than the others?
Thanks in advance for your insights and experience here!
I'm wondering if anybody in the community has ever attempted this and would like to share their experience.
A handful of questions to seed the conversation (but please don't feel obliged to answer them all): - What did you give up? How long was this for? Was this intentional or due to external circumstances? - What were your motivations for giving the technology up? - Was your overall experience positive or negative? In what ways? - Did you notice any changes in your happiness, focus or stress levels? - Is an "all-or-nothing" approach as such unrealistic? Would a strategy of using tech "in moderation" be more suitable? - Do you have any advice for how someone could regain focus, avoid distractions and generally use technology in a more mindful manner?
If you happen to know of any interesting blog posts/articles/previous discussions on the topic, please share.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
