I took a great paying remote job pre-pandemic when I was around 26 and initially planned on moving out of the city to lower COL areas (think 30-40 mins outside of a major hub). OP nailed the piece about living in true middle of nowhere adds more hurdles than value it creates, so that was always out of the question for me.

Three things stopping me from moving that haven't been mentioned yet were:

(1) I had to run out my lease (had signed a 1-year a few months before getting the job) (2) Friends and professional network (all in the city) (3) Fear of losing the remote job / not being able to get another one and having to move back into the city for a job

1 & 2 are fixable with time, but 3 always felt like too big of a risk. Granted, this was pre-pandemic so finding remote opportunities that paid well was harder. Not sure if I'd feel the same way if I had a similar choice in front of me today.

As cliche as it is to say – the answer to your question is probably within yourself. You feel like you're wasting your life, because you have aspirations. They may not be immediately apparent but they're there. And unfortunately I can't tell you what they are.

Uncovering them will take reflection & time. While you do that work of finding them, don't be so hard on yourself. Chances are you've had more of an impact on the world than you give yourself credit for.

Same reaction. I've anecdotally asked this same question: "man-made or natural diamonds?" to my friends in the past – mostly because I can't get past the ethical concerns, but wanted to understand the other side.

I found majority of my men friends argued it's the same diamond without the ethical concerns if you go man-made, while majority of my women friends chose natural (reasons included social pressure, the story, and so on).

Anecdotes aren't proof. But perhaps there is something to looking at this from a gendered (proxy for giving vs. receiving?) lens.

I've seen sources to corroborate institutional demand, but is there a source for your claim on the link to federal monetary policy? Ideally beyond correlation to show causation.

Yeah - great point. I'm actually working on a way to detect if a set of IDs are being used on the same workbook. This is possible technically via some environment variables inherent to the spreadsheet - but it opens up another can of worms on the privacy side of information I'd have to collect.

I think the short-term solution will be to throttle unique ID creation to 5 / email - not perfect, but I'm a one-man team so will have to bite at this problem step-wise :)

Not OP, but my take is that stability is usually defined as a base-state that will continue onto perpetuity unless some outside force disrupts it. Resiliency is more closely defined as the ability to recover from disruptions back to the base-state quickly.

Since the context here is that efficiency can remove layers of redundancy therefore allowing disruptions to wreck more havoc - I believe that's what OP was getting at.

I've never really worked too heavily with headless, so what would be some examples of 'real-life' applications using this API? Looking for some inspiration to maybe build a side project around this :)
