It's also worth noting that developers remain some of the most proportionately under-compensated jobs compared to the revenue we drive and we're all aware of it. It's the shareholders that need to justify their existence.

And i bet your boss is even happier!

This is making me realize I want a CI with as few features as possible. If I'm going to spend months of my life debugging this thing I want as few corners to check as I can manage.

Maybe we need a new type browser that doesn't try to be an app platform but rather tries to be a document browser.

In some sense yes, but full-stack engineers are nowhere near the top of "market value". Frontend has a pretty hard ceiling on compensation. Past a certain level of advancement you'll never need to build a UI again.

Perplexity certainly already approximates this (not sure if it's at a token level, but it can cite sources. I just assumed they were using a RAG.)

But, substack is where the comments are, and the comments are generally the valuable part.

It's not clear this is any different from just bombing random locations, but we're certainly already at the bad place. By the numbers Israel certainly seems incredibly bad at precision bombing, possibly the worst state ever to do it, for a state that is allegedly trying to.

Personally, I advocate for abolishing the downvote and the scoring and switching to randomized comment order.

Fwiw, people have been saying this since the site started. Don't worry. There will always be a safe space for rich assholes to divorce themselves from reality and romanticize their exploitation.

How does this happen without an interface for conflict resolution? That's the hard part.
