> C-suite (S-team) has a significant investment in commercial real estate. Amazon itself is holding ~$92B worth of buildings on its balance sheet, you can imagine a large chunk of that is commercial.

This is kind of defeats the point of environmentalism. The point is for humans to live on a sustainable planet, not for us to accept artificial death.

Feels like there's a ton of content missing from this page. Posted by accident maybe? There's not a single example of any of the components, how to use this framework, what it does, etc.

I don’t really understand the “atoms in the universe” argument. That has nothing to do with the size of an economy. We don’t need an atom to represent every “bit” of an economy.

Maybe I am not the target market, but I read through the landing page and am still not sure what this service does. It's an API for reading/writing JSON data that follows a schema?

As a general thought - I've never understood why this pattern isn't used more commonly with existing software. Like, why is it so important that your database run on a separate server from your api code?

Yes, that's the general idea - and it works pretty well. It can also be a huge PITA. The fallacy is that a "feature" is an isolated chunk of code. You just wrap that in a thing that says "if feature is on, do the code!
