A court in Australia has ordered Epic Games and Apple to allow alternative app stores and third-party payment systems on iOS devices. This decision was made in response to a lawsuit filed by Epic Games against Apple, which alleged that the company's App Store policies were anti-competitive. The court also ruled that Apple must allow developers to sideload apps, bypassing the App Store entirely. This decision is significant for the tech industry, as it challenges Apple's control over the iOS ecosystem and could potentially open the door for more competition in the app market.

Julian Weisser, a venture capitalist, argues that as automation replaces jobs, solo founding will become the default career path for many individuals. He points to the examples of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Elon Musk, who all dropped out of college to start their own companies. Weisser believes that this trend will continue, with more people opting to pursue solo founding as a career path due to the rise of automation and the decreasing cost of starting a business. He cites the $100 million in funding given to solo founders by venture capital firms in 2020, and the 10,000 solo founders who have started companies in the past year. Weisser suggests that traditional education and employment paths may no longer be relevant in the future, and that solo founding will become the new norm.
