The demographic impact of medications and vaccines is very significant, it used to take some populations centuries to double their number, now it takes few decades.

@ybceo As long as you use Cloudflare to verify users [fingerprints] and traffic between users and your service is decrypted at Cloudflare side, I am afraid it difficult to take these anonymity claims seriously.

Please do not to rely on fingerprinters or CDNs that does TLS-termination for you.

You don't have to self host, $100/engineer/mo is enough for many usecases.

Some indirect results to this might be:

- More engineers moving from employment to indie development.

- Less abandoned open source software.

- Indie developers, small teams, and open source software developers will be more able to catch up and better compete with tech giants.

I believe the AI agentic coders will threat tech giants more than it - collectively - threats software engineers.

The proliferation of cheap agenting tools integrating with every SDLC stage makes building open source software faster and cheaper, which decreases the competition barrier with Microsoft's deep pockets, and decrease older propietary software market value significantly.
