That is not what extortion means

No resentment to the author but also you have no problem publicly shit talking him online ok bud

Will you poor contributors ever shut up?

Yes obviously?!? Nothing about work from home makes you sit on your ass all day.

You're projecting your lack of discipline about the things that make life worthwhile (feeling good physically, bettering yourself mentally, enjoying the world around you, and sharing it with others) onto a working model.

Not really? It's an interesting proxy for public opinion that requires zero investment from the news org. They don't have to pay a polling agency or wait for someone else to.

Of course that suffers some likely substantial bias from oversampling a specific domain/sub-population

You are 100% free to not gamble

That's a pretty disingenuous take on the purpose of TS and misses the point of having a stack in general. The tools actually cover a lot more than that.

Yes, if your goal is to get HTML/CSS/JS in any form to a web client then you don't need this stuff.

If your goal is to ship a web app that stands a chance of surviving multiple devs, production traffic, etc then you need more tools. Testing behavior (vitest), enforcing code standards (oxfmt and oxlint), optimizing network calls (e.g. tree shaking from Rollup), etc. all go beyond what you describe.

This stack is as boring as it gets without literally using the tools it consolidates and replaces or dropping a requirement that necessitates them.

The frontier labs are not "fine-tuning", they're doing massive scale RL post-training

Your basic analysis is not the point of the article

Your quoted text does not back up your claim. It says brands live in the mind of the customer (i.e. the prospect). It doesn't say anything about a brand representing a real human being.

Using AI for your own project is different than being overwhelmed by AI contributions from other people/bots

What are you trying to say here? This makes no sense.

That view is overly simplistic. People find real utility in ad-supported tools and apps.

Who says you have to learn this? You are free to ignore it if it's overwhelming.

I'd much rather see a thriving ecosystem full of competition and innovation than a more stagnant alternative.

It's hard to imagine that abundant housing led to the truly adverse economic conditions in the USSR. Rather than offering a cheeky strawman perhaps you could give some real thought to alternative solutions you'd like to see?
