I'll never forget someone IMing me at work after they started writing unit tests after I did a couple of brown bags on it. "There's no way I'd have caught that until it failed in production".

My kid I thought that it was great! I hope I can watch an analysis video in a few weeks because I'm positive I missed 80% of what was going on.

I'd describe it as tradeoffs.

Would we use email the way we do if only Gmail people could email Gmail people? I think it wouldn't.

So email is better (not without issues like spam) because anybody can email anybody.

Mastodon/Fediverse provides similar benefits (and some problems) that "federated email" provide compared to siloed email.

I would argue the benefits outweigh the negatives.
