I agree with this. In my day to day I've started AI as a glorified "look this up for me" thing and hardly look at reference sites anymore. It's a shame because I really did admire CSS-Tricks when I was starting out and referenced their stuff often. I'll be rooting for them though!

First time I've heard the term coordination tax. Thanks for sharing, I've encountered this in a lot of projects as we added more people. Glad to have a word for it now!

Very cool, I imagine this would be useful for someone having moved to somewhere new. I'm planning a potential move so will definitely be using this!

Woah, I remember hearing about the Cambridge Analytica stuff for the first time in 2020 from watching "The Social Dilemma". I'm surprised there is still legal fall out from that. Also 15% interest until the fine is paid in full is wild. Wonder where they are going to get the cash given how much has been going to AI.
