Sorry in advance for bringing AI into this but... this is context engineering in a nutshell. DRY and SoC really mess with an agent's ability to efficiently gather context. If you limit all layers of a feature into a small area (e.g. folder) it's much easier to work with. Vertical Slice Architecture is a good example of this too.

The point is that it's made a group of people that are already generally rich, richer. If it made a group of Indian women it would be marginally better as there aren't as many rich Indian women as there are rich white men.

Either way, I think the bigger point is that it's made a small number of people very wealthy.

I'm a programmer, occasionally I use it to find people to help me with side projects. It seems to work pretty well, once you have the interview process down you can find some good people on there.

I had to stop reading at:

"In 2009, an anonymous hacker (or group of hackers) going by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto unveiled the first entirely digital currency"

In what sense was Satoshi a hacker? Even the modern use of "hacking out code" is a stretch here.

Also, it clearly was not the first digital cash. e-Gold and many others predate it.

Can you clarify the disadvantages of the application compromises required for option 2?

I'm currently looking at Hyperledger Fabric and it falls into that category.

That's complete rubbish. If they were really interested in helping customers get to the products quickly the products would be displayed underneath each websites search result.

What they really want is for the retailers to pay for the privilege of having their products at the top of the page.

Really? Go back and install Windows 7, then Windows XP, then Windows 98. Tell me the boot times and how long until a browser opens. :D

I think our expectations are just getting higher.

If it makes you feel better all this free stuff generally only applies to the US anyway. Go Google!
