Not much. There was USB 3.0 even before the USB-C, so bandwidth-wise it's hasn't been a game changer. Over the years I've used a bunch of phones and other devices with Micro USB Type B and I've had one or two cables fail, but not at the connector. In fact the mouse I'm still using has Micro USB for charging and it's been fine.

Edit: I'm not saying it's not good; it is, but I consider it an incremental improvement, not a game changer. A game changer for me would be a standardised interface with a magnetic connector for example.

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

Are we talking America or are we talking about that specific country in one of the Americas?

I'd be screwed.

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

I don't really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Curious - how does the open sourcing part of the gig work?

Phrased like that it begs me to ask: is that a table just for the third wheel?

A sports piece of clothing or equipment is functional with or without the flashy branding; a piece of merch however is not (especially if it's just decorative - like a pin, a sew-on patch or something like that).
