I use manual when I’m shooting RAW and want to get better control for shutter speed. I like to run under exposed settings between one or two steps since I can just up the exposure just fine in post but I can get much more consistent focus in less than ideal lighting.

I can’t speak for newer cameras, though. As the last camera that I used is released on 2012. The auto settings on that camera (Pentax K5-II) is atrocious.

Is this sarcastic where the ‘apolitical’ friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?

From Steve Jobs’s biography, it’s also because he loved apples so much that he once got hospitalized for eating nothing but apples.

Ahh the beautiful wonders of Agile software development.
