title: "My Personal List of Enshittified Dev Tools"

To quote some Wikipedia article: "Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time." So what this will be is a running list of tools I've used in my work which have undergone such processes:
1. Insomnia (API Tester) - They changed their product to _require_ an account. I should not need an account to send a GET request to my local dev server.
2. Redis (In-memory Key Value Store) - Redis moved from their BSD license to a split license, one of which is source available.
Awesome for visualizing changes when you have larger code changes.
3. Minio - "Depricated" or just straight up deleted their open source admin console from the project in favour of a significantly worse object viewer on the community edition, saving the admin features for paid users. Best part: this move was largely not announced and blindsided many (myself included).
This will be periodically updated to avoid outdated information.
