Wow yikes! On the one hand -- it's obviously a bad idea to use your current employer's laptop for a job interview.
But social engineering takes many forms and anyone could be suseptible.
Do we need to start carrying liability insurance (like doctors do)? There are so many hazards these days working in tech which can cause you to be liable for huge amounts of damage. Using agents seems fraught too; they can easily go "off the rails" and take actions you didn't intend.

Neat idea!
Fun fact; it's not as widely usable but data URLs work for this too.
Maybe you could add an option to copy the data URL for a page?
e.g. this one
https://bigwords.page/#%23%20Gate%2012%0ABoarding%20now&bg=0...
becomes
data:text/html,<!doctype html><meta name=viewport content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1"><body style="margin:0;height:100vh;display:flex;flex-direction:column;align-items:center;justify-content:center;background:%230b3d91;color:%23fff;font-family:sans-serif;text-align:center"><h1 style="font-size:18vw;margin:0">Gate 12</h1><p style="font-size:9vw;margin:0">Boarding now</p>
(paste this ^^ into your URL bar)

Inspired by this, I made a map:

Huh; so desalinated water costs between $0.001 to $0.008 depending on the cost of the power.
I pay about $0.0136 / gallon so almost 10x the cost of producing.
Seems like (for non-agricultural use) we will be able to afford desalination -- I guess the real issue will be agricultural uses which are predicated on free water.

For what it's worth; `eslint-plugin-react` has been around for a long time and seems to support running in very old versions of Node.JS (back to v4[1] apparently! tho I can't find anything documenting that for sure.)
I was surprised to learn that Object.values is only supported in Node >v7, Object.fronEntries was added in v12, etc. So for this project maybe the polyfills are needed.

Tofu scramble might be a little more expensive than egg-based version but 5x seems an exaggerated figure to me.
A 14oz package of tofu is probably the equivalent of 4 eggs and costs $2-3. So maybe 1.5x the cost of egg-based version. (Here's a great basic recipe https://www.budgetbytes.com/vegetable-tofu-scramble/)
Also, if you examine your diet you will probably find that you don't need to replace eggs with tofu 1:1. There are plenty of other ways to get protein (e.g. lentils, nutritional yeast, even whole wheat bread has protein).

My wife and I started a vegan diet 6mo ago and while there was a transition period, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected.
If you're feeling the egg prices I'd encourage you to find ways to limit or remove eggs from your diet. It's easier than you think! Egg replacers work wonders in baked goods and a tofu scramble is similar to scrambled eggs.

This is a great survey of the many ways trees can be used in UX:

Storage will be a solved problem once everyone has an electric vehicle with a 65kWh battery sitting in their garage. Power your home overnight from your car, then recharge during the day when the sun comes out.
If you have a large home or need to always have a fully charged car, spend $15k on a home battery.
We need to get out of this mindset that electric utilities will provide unlimited power at a fixed price. With some investment from individual homeowners we can reduce peak to average ratios for utilities and make it much cheaper and possible to use intermittent green energy sources like wind and solar.

Airtable (https://airtable.com/) and Coda (https://coda.io/) are two products which might fit the bill.

Try this: s/women/people/g
If taking a break to focus on parenting was more acceptable, anyone (man/woman/nonbinary) who wanted to do this would benefit.
Many careers are built around this idea that you spend 5-10 years, with no breaks, in your late 20s and 30s working on something. What if taking a substantial chunk of time off was more common (for anyone)?
