  • A marketing prof once told me that a lot of phone companies, Apple in specific, split their projects up into several releases as a form of planned obsolescence. You’re more likely to find this in matured and established brand names because they have the power of goodwill to retain their market share whereas an up and coming company relies on being innovative in the sense of being early adopters of new, sometimes not fully tested, technology.

    So for example, you see 3 iPhones being released in the span of 2 years. Those were likely 1 project released in a deliberately staggered manner so that “fanboys” “early movers” “brand loyal” (basically materialistic people who either don’t understand or love being manipulated by corps) will pay for 1 project that a team worked on, 3 separate times.



  • I’m full of random questions

    If you could only eat 1 dish forever without worrying about vitamin intake or macros, what would it be?

    What would your plan be if you woke up tomorrow and everyone else on earth disappeared without a trace?

    What’s a skill you want to learn and what’s stopping you from learning it?

    What’s the largest animal you think you could beat in a fight with just your hands?

    You stumble upon all the dragonballs, what is your wish?
