if it鈥檚 tech, I probably have a take.

airpods max vs sony xm6, which one you picking?
both are still expensive headphones, and at this price the choice feels bigger than just sound quality.
sony is the more practical one (lighter, better battery, folds, works with everything), while apple has that premium build and ecosystem integration.
but is the apple experience really worth the extra money, or would you pick sony even if price wasn鈥檛 a factor?
curious to hear from people who鈥檝e actually used either of them

Has anyone else felt like Samsung phones have become really expensive compared to what they actually give you?
I鈥檓 not saying they make bad phones. Displays, cameras and build quality are generally solid. But when I look at other brands in the same price range I keep feeling like Samsung is charging more while offering less hardware.
Some competitors just throw in faster charging, bigger batteries, a charger in the box, better front cameras or other features Samsung leaves out, even on their more expensive models. What鈥檚 weirder is Samsung sometimes removes stuff people were already used to and still increases the price while other brands seem to be trying harder to give more hardware for the same money.
I get that software support, One UI, the ecosystem and brand name have value. I鈥檓 just not sure at what point that premium stops making sense.
Are we actually getting something significantly better or are we mostly paying for the brand?
What does Samsung still do better that justifies the higher price?
And if you鈥檝e switched, did you feel like you got better value?
Curious what people think.

AI said it鈥檚 easy. Famous last words.
Product managers now have access to Claude Code/Codex, and this is already creating serious problems for software engineers in some companies.
They ask AI if a feature can be built. AI says it is easy. They come to developers expecting it to be shipped immediately.
But the developers who architected the system are the ones who know the technical debt, the hidden dependencies, and what might break when that change goes into production.
And when something eventually breaks, guess who gets blamed?
The developers who were told it was easy to build in the first place.
