The whole Javascript ecosystem needs to be burned to the ground and never spoken of ever again.
In Europe, uber is exploiting the most vulnerable in our societies, and profiting of the harm they do to people and communities.
Not to mention, breaking laws, endangering passengers, using outright evil methods to keep their workers money.
Mistake 1: Switch from DRY to premature optimization.
> You might think that legit reasonable developers but would not actually do something like this and would instead go back to the existing invocations and modify them to get a nice solution, but I've seen this happen all over the place.
Mistake 2: Assumption of incompetence to support your argument.
> . As soon as we start the thought process of thinking how to avoid a copy paste and refactor instead, we are losing the complexity battle.
Mistake 3: Strawman argument. DRY does NOT lead to over-complicating things. Overcomplicating things leads to overcomplicating things.

Touchscreens (or touch surfaces) should not be used for any kind of vehicle function. period.
If you need to take your eyes away from the road, it is a shit ui.
If you can't feel but have to look to see the result of your interaction, it is a shit design.
If you need to look at the center console and down, it is even worse.
There is only one reason to get rid of all the buttons and switches, and that is design. because "ape goes ohhhh!".
And that should not be a consideration that is prioritized over safety.
I swear, if all the crypto people would just take a step back and take a good long look at what they are doing, graphics card prices would be back to normal in 4 weeks.
I found that easier than constant crosscompiling.
