So 700k a year for 142 analysts who might analyze this very comment someday and trace it back to me, great.

Coding is the new punch card slots now. My children will listen in awe about how typing and testing used to take hours or even (gasp!) days.

Thank you for spelling out some good points. They always seemed obvious to me but I could never clearly explain them.

Exactly my thoughts, AWS is due for a large rewrite/ground up rewrite from first principles to be able to fully utilize LLMs/agentic capabilities.

Can't we just do a count(*) on the number of unique mobile numbers in every country? And add some estimate for children etc.

On one hand, meta has a bad reputation for being a toxic pip factory where employees can be laid off any time. On the other hand, they are consistently coming out with innovations in VR/glasses at a time when the industry is going crazy over openai funny money. Are toxic work practices actually good for innovation?

Hundreds of people in my circle who use airbnb and uber daily/monthly disagree with you. Could this be unnecessary pessimism?

Maybe it just needs provenance. So bad actors can't flood the system.

Counter to the above is that, your bad actor may be my leader. People like convenience. When someone is expressing what you want to say, in a better and smarter way, you just reshare/retweet them. And the 'other side' will feel like your leader is a 'bad actor' who is flooding the system. So even the method of resharing/retweeting needs some sort of provenance/single use only. So you can 'agree' with your thought leader, but they shouldn't be able to mass manufacture consent. Since you might even reshare 'fake news' since you generally trust your leader. It's messy, not sure what that would look like - every post that starts getting traction needs to be fact checked? Community Notes on X is a step in the right direction maybe.

Does this conflate the number of new visas issued to new workers, with the existing visas renewed by already settled-in-US workers (that must be renewed every 3 years)?

Because due to the GC backlog, the existing visas do not go down for 2 major contributing countries.
