@gruber @ismh these people are, to put it simply, narcissists

@gruber @ismh It's a good simile, though it’s backwards in my experience. Computer people do dismiss iPad folks, but it’s the bike people that really like to tell others how to live.

@gruber @ismh I wonder if it’s a visibility thing. While I don’t doubt they exist, I don’t know anyone that actually uses one for work, or would even like to. I wouldn’t be surprised if it skews pretty heavily to those that work independently? I can’t think of a company I’ve worked at that would entertain the notion of an employee using an iPad as their primary device.

@gruber @ismh But I want an e-bike, and Apple won’t give me one!

@gruber @ismh The analogy is a bit flawed in that drivers and cyclists do have to share the same limited public street space, and so there actually is some genuine conflict and tension in designing streets for cars vs bikes.
