I wanted to know if I could fully describe an online survey using a simple, readable, parseable language.

There are numerous UI form builders. And Xlsform for ODK and KoboToolbox but nothing I could find that is easy for humans and machines to grok. So I wrote a DSL in Ruby to see if it could be done. The language is mostly described at https://srp.solutions and some example usage and implementation at https://srpsurveys.com/

Funny the original post doesn’t mention AI replacing the coding part of his job.

There seems to be a running theme of “okay but what about” in every discussion that involves AI replacing jobs. Meanwhile a little time goes by and “poof” AI is handling it.

I want to be be optimistic. But it’s hard to ignore what I’m doing and seeing. As far as I can tell, we haven’t hit serious unemployment yet because of momentum and slow adoption.

I’m not replying to argue, I hope you are right. But I look around and can’t shake the feeling of Wile E. Coyote hanging in midair waiting for gravity to kick in.

Near-death experiencers almost always describe a bright light. The sun is a bright light. The math checks out. Sun is God.

Have you considered a limit on user interactions per day? 10 posts/comments a day and 10 upvotes a day?

It seems counterintuitive to restrict users interacting with your platform, but I could also see it working the other way (I want to login and use my daily allowance instead of losing it).
