I agree it's worth revisiting. Actually I wrote about this recently, I didn't realise there was a precedent here. https://tessl.io/blog/how-to-capture-intent-with-coding-agen...

> As a benefit, the code base can now be exported into many formats for comfortable reading. This is especially important if the primary role of engineers is shifting from writing to reading.

Underrated point. Also, whether we like it or not, people without engineering backgrounds will be closer to code in the future. That trend isn't slowing down. The inclusion of natural language will make it easier for them to be productive and learn.

Lol. I was trying to say the nice version of this.

A lot of people feel that Reddit is overmoderated - there was that controversy recently where one of the employees admitted manually altering a bunch of content (removing pro-Trump submissions and comments).

Also I imagine any general forum like Reddit wouldn't retain its power users for more than a few years at most. At a given time, most users are either at the point where they don't get any of the inside jokes, or where all of them are getting old. So it might make sense to have a new one of these every once in a while.

Great read. Makes me reflect on my own taste, though. I seem to be attracted to people I can't quite understand, people who take some work for me to figure out. Maybe there's a solid relational foundation between us, but we're always quite different people and I'm kept guessing a lot of the time. I find it interesting, fun, stimulating. I'm sure there are plenty like me in that respect. Any armchair hypotheses for that?

Can we agree that birth control of all kinds has a long way to go? Both men & women should have the option to be in control of their reproductive rights. Neither men nor women deserve to experience serious side effects from the exercise of those rights.

Some lucky folks can take hormones with very little effects. I (F) have had very negative experiences with hormonal birth control, I'd be bummed for anyone else to go through it.

I feel like this was always obviously the case in the United States. Nothing about US culture complements tiger parenting. Go ask Chinese kids in China how they feel about it. (hint: their culture fully supports and _expects_ this parenting style)
