I wonder how much of this perception is based on the observer’s age. To me “trucks have gotten so much bigger than I remember” but what I think of as my formative car years were late 90s, so of course that is how it feels… it’s for sure true that rigs have ballooned since ‘95. It’s not necessarily true they have since 2015?

Something is quite a bit more common than start. Probably if you write any long form English, st == something is better.

We always say “a backie a day keeps the doctor away”.

It’s entirely incorrect but it keeps life fun!

The point isn’t the interface though it’s the implementation. And if many of those things are implementing the same search functionality slightly differently, you’re back to the same spot, except now your bugs are spread across multiple sites, often with duplication.

The underlying issue is just that correctness is hard I think.
