It is the internet, so sometimes it is hard to tell what is serious vs ironic. The "environmental contaminant" that is making everyone fatter is sugar.

I suppose a smaller attack surface could be considered a sort of obscurity. Its also just practically less to defend.

Saying yes is not equal to "provides the requested information." If you use models for affirmation instead of information, this is a more reasonable concern.

Very much agree. I am very explicit about real life dependency management because of years of knowing (being forcibly taught) how important it is for my dev work.

Existing abstractions can be easily applied to similar contexts, but designing abstractions seems backwards. The system abstractions should be grown and extracted from the working code. Idk how you know the right thing without going through the complexity of building it.

It seems normal for the target of forced resource extraction to not even view it as sharing, or see it in a positive light. Helping your neighbor when in need is one thing, being coerced into funding whatever some distant bureaucrat wants is another.

I've used Protnmail before and had the same issue. I think enabling something like "full local indexing" or something made it better.

Sign companies stay in business. Because every new startup restaurant wants its own sign. That particular restaurant being statistically doomed is actually a benefit to the sign company. I guess maybe you meant not sustainable for the half baked businesses. It seems like it could be sustainable for lovable.
