Here's an example of a recessed door handle with the aerodynamic advantages, but without any of the controversies: https://i.shgcdn.com/1b51ebc9-f7a7-4caf-865a-ef5e190b8dd2/-/...

Here's a different way of doing it: https://stwinglist01.blob.core.windows.net/media/NarBC_ny/8e...

General aviation manufacturers figured this out decades and decades ago. I really don't understand the Tesla engineer mindset.

I think that this is enshittification seen from a different angle.

Most of those arguments make a very strong case for native apps obtained from F-Droid.

While I agree with a big part of the article, I need to pick on this sentence:

"They may have upgraded the average skill set of software teams in a way we have not seen before."

Well, no, not really. On one hand, it is true that AI makes it easier for experienced software developers to find information outside their existing knowledge boundaries. (i.e. when I need to use a language I've used before, but am not so proficient, it is faster with AI to get started). At the same time, it creates an apparent upgraded skill set. But, on the other hand, the more we rely on AI, and worse, the more we rely on AI and only on AI, the less skills we end having ourselves (we become skill renters, not skill owners). By this, we risk getting to the point where we don't really understand the code that AI generated. This is a very dangerous aspect and it might be a contributing fact to the lack of quality the author diagnosed.

Hi OP, I don't know if it helps with your issues, but some years ago I wrote an article precisely about using protobuf between Dart and Go and it included a section on async: https://tech.craveiro.pt/go-for-dart-with-protocol-buffers.

He was referring to software engineers, not vibe coders.

Here in Portugal the legal requirement is 1€ for an LLC (lda) and it took me a few hundred euros in fees only, all in morning to take care of everything.

And I'd argue that an important colour to make this work is black. By this I mean that only information that needs to be displayed is displayed (in all the colours you listed). Everything else is omitted.

I see what you did there.

I don't hate putting a lot of blame on social media, just as much as I blame the tobacco companies for a lot of lung cancer. Put differently, social media companies are the tobacco companies of the mind.

I really can't tell if you are serious or just trolling. Assuming the latter, I'd be laughing out loud if the consequences weren't so tragic.

I won't answer your questions, but I think you'll find a lot of answers in Sapiens and Nexus, both books from Yuval Noah Harari. They explain a lot about the fantastic questions that you are posing.
