This clip of VR shopping got a lot of hate (and I would claw my eyes out before using it) but I imagine there are users for whom the skeuomorphism would be much more familiar and usable than a standard website. Yes, I did spell skeuomorphism correctly the first time without checking. Yes I am bragging about that.
I'm not sure how I feel about ZFS using object storage systems as a backend. I guess there are lots of places where you want the best of both worlds but something like CephFS isn't appropriate.
I think my most-commonly-delivered piece of advice is to be more action biased. People stay in situations they clearly (from the outside) hate for way, way longer than seems reasonable from the outside. Science agrees.
