The existential crisis part for me is that no-one (or not enough people) have the skills or knowledge required to do these things. Getting people to work together only works if some people have those skills to begin with. I also wasn't

Even as a collective whole, engineers will likely only understand the parts of system that are engineering problems and solutions. Even if they could understand it all, there is still no _one_ person who understands how everything works.

I read it more as: We already don't know how everything works, AI is steering us towards a destination where there is more of the everything. I would also add it's also possible it will reduce the number people that are _capable_

Google Reader, mentioned once in the text but not really explored, was a different experience. I pretty much stopped using RSS when that went away. Every other reader would either mangle the experience or add a paywall. It had a magic simpl
