Swap On!

The Vision Pro I Want
What is most irksome is that I know Apple could make this here and now if they wanted to; they’ve got all the requisite tech ready and available.
The biggest shortcoming of any beautiful monitor is that you can’t take it with you. If I want peak productivity
Best Practices
This reminds me of a consulting firm that was hired by one of my employers. They sent over a handful of "senior" engineers.
