A young Kim Catrall had a Vulcan commentary on this: https://www.elastic.co/customers

How is that link related to the post?

Astrid! Or more accurately, Jasika Nicole.

That is the sound of someone else's lunch being eaten.

For the low, low price of $5/month.

Completely worth it to me. It would be an incredible value at twice the price and part of my daily workflow on all machines.

Same, just excellent software that I use 100+ times per day.

Quality matters in what you use constantly.

My issue is that quality has noticeably dropped over the years. I can’t justify paying more while the core functionality is getting worse. It’s been going downhill since the launch of v8. I sung its praises for many years (I’ve been using it for 18 years), but that mostly stopped after v8 was released.

I kept going with it because I thought being platform agnostic with my password manager was important. But with them taking on all these investors, watching quality drop, and now that they have everyone migrated to subscriptions… raising prices rather significantly. I’m done. I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.

What issues do you see?

The only problem I have with it is safari support, and that’s really about Apple’s arbitrary limits on plugins.

100+ times a day? Explain yourself.

I login/unlock my password manager maybe...a dozen times a week and that would be a high count when I'm doing "business" and logging in for financial things.

Not the OP, but I have a dotfile that aliases the 1Password CLI. I use that heavily every day.

For pure peace-of-mind managing a family and all our passwords and digtial security, it's value is far more than this monthly cost

Be a System of Record, not just a Wrapper™ is excellent advice.

Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the little ™ at the end as well.

This only has the first paragraph of the article.

Having a pretty, intelligent, well spoken young woman present it doesn't hurt either.

And in no way do I want to take away from her insight and skill in popularizing and communicating these concepts. Clearly she is good at what she does.

Are we nearing the capability to build something like the Mind's Game (from the Ender's Game book)

Welp, there goes my productivity for a year.
