I have just lost so much faith.

And meanwhile, I have to say, I am really happy about technology right now because I've been doing some vibe coding and we'll get to that maybe another time.

But I'm really happy with tech right now.

And as happy as I am with other parts of tech, it is putting my dissatisfaction with the state of Apple in stark contrast because...

It's just showing how they are still making some really good stuff, but there's a lot of holes in that cheese now.

There's a lot of things that are not so good.

There's a lot of things they just don't care about or areas that they used to have priority in and things they cared about that made good products or treated their users well that they just seem to be throwing away or no longer caring about in recent years.

And just like this stupid work I had this morning was just like one of the last draws.

I'm like, I'm like, I think I'm done with a lot of this stuff.

Like, again, I switched to Chrome.

I'm much happier using Chrome.

I think I'm going to switch away from the Apple Watch for a while and see how that goes.

Like, there are certain things that they do a really good job with.

And I'm happy to keep using those.

I think, you know, obviously the hardware, for the most part, is in a great spot.

I still love the Mac as my primary computing platform.

And I still love iOS as my primary phone platform.

And I still love Apple's development APIs and platforms for making my software.

But there's so many other areas now where they're just making me mad and disappointed and sad.

And I don't need that in my life anymore.
