I love this for some reason. However, I wonder if it would end up being more complicated than React in practice. I generally prefer pedantic/stricter usage guidelines/conventions.

AGI is a threat to humanity; so is existing tech: e.g., spending all day staring at various screens (phone, laptop, tv). You can also take the opposite view that AGI will save or expand humanity. It depends on how you define 'humanity&

'difficult' is relatively meaningless, or I guess only meaningful relatively. Basically once you know something (e.g., a particular leetcode problem, or how to paginate an API) it's easy all of a sudden, but it was hard bef

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I do kind of think people are lying (to themselves). Ignorance is (temporary) bliss. I'm seeking lasting meaning; not 'meaning' that dissolves after a season, or at best, at the end of
