Making a feature so useful that once users have the habit to use it, they would miss something if they don’t have access anymore (e.g precise analytics data).

I believe it will, indeed, become the new standard as it’s too cost efficient for the companies but they may loose a lot of people that are not tech savvy on the way (e.g. older people). This will either drive their customers to competitors properly managing support or force the companies to revisit the way they handle support.

Most interviews ask for a motivational letter. You can use give an AI the job description with a list of experiences you have, tools you know, manage, etc. As AI gives you this nice summary, you can expand on each elements whether alone or again with an AI and without learning it, making sure you know it more or less so you can go to the interview ready to talk and answer questions.

I’m an app developer and I used to have my laptop (mainly Mac but also have a Windows one) and a monitor. I would create apps for IOS on my Mac and eventually upgrade it to also work on Android. Now I have 2 monitors, one linked to my Mac and the other to my Windows laptop. This way I can simultaneously develop for both platforms at the same time.

From what you say, I would say Notion is, indeed, the best option. You could also try an app like Obsidian or any more specific app in any App Store. You could even go as far as using AI (even a locally host model if you want full control/privacy), that will keep a wiki up to date for you by having you just input “raw” data.

My honest opinion is just to accept it, move on and continue writing, building, creating stuff that will resonate at least with a bunch of people. Unfortunately, what is karma farming here or on Reddit will be hateful or so comments on YouTube, etc. depending on the platform.
