Let's also see the real consequences of the rapidly increasing inflation too in the coming years from the last couple stimulus bills. I wouldn't be too quick to look at QE as a panacea.

Seems like we've been treating symptoms instead of addressing various root causes for a long long time.

That said how is Deno being seen in relation to Node, iirc Deno is being made to correct on a lot of the issues Node originally had but I’m curious about adoption and how this is going to fit in the JS world where Node has become so cemented, what’s the killer feature to move those people over?

Or is that not the play, will this peacefully coexist?

Some scraping services make their money by offering scraping services to companies for specific information and you could argue they provide value to other businesses that way, but not to the broader "rest of humanity".

So I'm not sure it's as simple as just "aggregator" good "scraping service" bad as value provided takes on many different forms, and that's what makes this difficult.

I guess it may come down to your take on what you think of middlemen, because they are all effectively middlemen in the data economy.

Edit: I was rereading your comment, in respect directly to the value added to the content, then yes maybe it is more clear that aggregators are in principle different because they do add that value where scraping services that sell the data do not offer any enrichment to the content creator. I personally think protecting content aggregators that republish the data to create visibility or other value for the content creator to the extent that they're not worried about being sued for that is probably a worthwhile thing to happen because of the net benefit to our ability to find information/content.

Honestly it almost makes me feel compelled to start writing more for the industry but to be honest, my opinion is most ideas are not great, or not novel, up to and including my own. So writing about them seems likely not to be beneficial. I guess you could argue I could let the industry be the judge of that though.

Generally speaking I don't want to submit most things, largely and because like this post I find most thoughts people have to be garbage, including my own, most things and people simply aren't interesting or useful.

If you can't make that trade then you've weighed the value provided by an organization like google to be more valuable than the copyright of these content creators and I want other players who may want to be able to challenge google to have the same protections and access google does to have a chance at providing the same value.

I'm not going to not post simply because you find it disagreeable, there are plenty of people here who seem to agree with me.

Blameless post mortems are great, for your team. I am not his team mate, and I don't really feel a kinship with every developer under the sun. And for what it's worth I don't blame this developer for anything. If anything I lament the institutions that failed them on the way to this point in time. To me this is a symptom of systemic rot.

It's also highly speculative so like I'm not going to go back and forth on it.

Needing a vendor to hand hold your likely highly paid dev seems like a bad fix to me.

Also not having an index isn't an error it can be a valid choice based on your situation and query load which is why people should know the situations when they're needed.

I think people should simply be better. A lot of people don't like hearing that though so usually I keep it to my private chats where people seem more willing to cop to that fact.

I know we disagree, I know you're going to continue disagreeing, I know I don't want to have the conversation.

But he didn't see compiler errors, he caused monetary cost to his employer.

When I deploy something that unintentionally causes a large monetary bill to my employer, then yes I do believe that indicates a gap in knowledge so I don't in anyway believe I'm being uncharitable. Or and this would be worse, a lack of caring. (Which is not what I think happened here though)

I won't respond to your imposter syndrome bit I don't really think it's relevant to my point.

However regurgitating a platitude that everyone, including myself, learned when we tried getting our first business off the ground doesn't add much value here.

Had this been a Database with 10million rows it would have cost them 50k, and this is incredibly basic programming knowledge.

Basic proficiency is a far cry from worrying about best technical talent and not a particularly egregious ask.
