Note that it has beaten capitalism, making rational choices to increase earnings has lost to this AI dream.

I can't find it, for example the WHO website lists it only up to December 2019. I would appreciate if someone would put some links to such datasets, preferrably for countries affected the most by the pandemic.

This impression is mostly generated by your head, to be more specific - by the social pressure to "make a career" and to regard technical skills as inferior to management skills. I don't think it's real, I saw many old people working as programmers, and there will be many more because there are more programmers among the current 20-30 year-olds, compared to the older generations. Also there's simply many more technical jobs available and there won't be enough management positions available to allow the switch for everyone. And the pandemic looks also like a quite big factor in reducing the number of management jobs (it looks like you often can work as usual without all the managers...).

One tool I used was https://github.com/mnmelo/lazy_import but I'm not sure it's updated for Python 3.7/3.8.

That's my version to make it more "functional":

  from itertools import cycle, islice
  from operator import add

  fizz = cycle(['', '', 'Fizz'])
  buzz = cycle(['', '', '', '', 'Buzz'])
  strings = map(add, fizz, buzz)
  strings_or_nos = (s or i for i, s in enumerate(strings, start=1))
  print(list(islice(strings_or_nos, 100)))

Overall this is an interesting topic because contrary to popular opinion many athletes use nicotine and find that it increases their performance: Nicotine [...] use is widespread amongst professional team/strength sports (e.g. American football, ice hockey, wrestling, bobsleigh, gymnastics, rugby, skiing) whereby active consumption of nicotine and nicotine-containing substances in-competition occurs in approximately 25–50% of such athletes [1].

The meta-analysis [1] found that two studies observed an ergogenic effect, one an ergolytic with the remaining seven reporting no change.

So on-site teams also use Wikis/issue trackers/emails a lot. The difference is that instead of a face-to-face chat remote teams have to use Slack. Which is also largely used in on-site teams... So my point is that some of the modern IT offices already resemble a "co-working" space because all the tools are already digital, and all meaningful knowledge sharing already happens in the digital space.

This is generally pro-remote but it includes research results.

If you could invent a text format that could be efficiently edited with a basic text editor then I would agree it's a DSL. But I feel like you would lose a lot by dropping a dedicated GUI, e.g.:

- horizontal scrolling of columns, adding, hiding columns

- "smart copying" a formula by scrolling down

- selection of rows/columns/cells

I don't think anybody would use such DSL using a basic editor.

Overall it's discussion about the definitions of terms, but I don't understand why people want to capture anything having some "editable format" as a "DSL" when addtional terms like "visual programming" allow more differentiation?

Generally my feeling is somehow similar to the one expressed in the blog post, ie. that DSLs don't work for non-technical people. If someone is able to use a DSL then he/she is also able to do regular programming, and many people don't have such abilities. And regular programming languages are better tools for the ones with the abilities.
