  • Bugs frustrate me more because I can often guess at why they are happening and how to fix them but can’t just apply the fix myself.

    That’s like a big portion of bugs lmao, lots of bugs exist because the spaghettification of the code makes it too costly to fix. Do you really think devs don’t know why the bugs are there? They usually can’t be fixed because there is no time or no willingness from management or the root cause is so deeply rooted it requires a shit ton of work to be able to fix it at all.













  • Hydrogen in cars was dead from the get go, it has very niche use cases for the very few percentage of people who actually drive a shitton of kms per day, now it’s only use case would be trucking, but I feel like that should transition mostly to trains with only final miles being loaded onto trucks and there Battery powered semis are not only viable but better imho.



  • Wait till you find out how many components are shared, all the new mazda Hybrids use Toyota’s power train, while the Toyota Supra uses BMW’s B58 engine.

    This Honda Nissan situation is basically what happened with Hyundai and Kia in the past, Kia was struggling so Hyundai bought most of it.

    Economies of scale are needed nowadays, lots of shared parts, Kia/Hyundai sell the same vehicles, just with different stylings and minor differentiators.

    VW group is entire tiered system with some engines reserved for Audis. VW, Skoda and Seat are once again basically the same cars with different flavors, but for example the latest VW passat was built by Skoda.
