I think you are being a bit hysterical and trying to find an issue where there’s none.
The article is just trying to find an historical explanation on why something so inefficient became norm in modern civilization, there’s no sexism here…
So you think "doctors wanted to see better and didn't think it would hurt anything" and "It's all because of a Frenchman who decided it was more convenient – for men." are equally gender-agnostic?
Now I think you touched the perfect point on why this is being shoved through our throats, and why I'm very reticent in using it.
This is not about big increases of productivity, this is whole thing about selling dependence on privately controlled, closed source tools. To concentrate even more power in the hands of a very few, morally questionable people.
I’m conflicted about it, seems like a good convenience, but I wouldn’t want my team to get dependent on an exclusive feature of a single provider
