> But isn't the next step where your employer tasks you to codify all these tasks and capture your "process" and "reasoning" and then you can still walk on the beach all you want but you won't have work to do

No, the next step is the employer to ask "why are you walking on a beach when you could be working?" and won't accept the answer that they are just orchestrating agents.

The only part the employer will focus on is "walking on a beach" and think "I don't pay you to walk on a beach."

(Caveat: OP might be running their own business. That's different. Also makes me rethink my life choices a bit).

Same!

> you have enough interactivity to warrant a single-page-application as your frontend. however, you also want people without javascript enabled to be able to read the bits that don’t require interaction.

I think at this point it's not a hobby, it's a burden.

Read this over a decade ago and it’s been on my mind a lot lately. Very timely.

The notion of the inner solar system being converted into computronium sounds less and less far-fetched with each passing month.

Is it just me or is this a giant red flag?

The opening point is that these sites are stupid slow. And I agree with the author: there is no reason this far into the 21st century a bank's web page should take several seconds to load. It should load in under a second or two.

"For the purpose of this report, Hired examined software engineering candidate interview requests (IVR) and salary data from January 2021 through December 2022 inclusive. The data included reflects over 68,500 candidates and 494,000 interview requests between companies and software engineers on Hired during this time period."

Then, I think, the numbers reflect only candidates and companies that use Hired, as opposed to the industry as a whole. I wonder how many folks land jobs through Hired?

I will add that sites like Roll20.net solve the problem of online gaming for D&D (and many other TTRPGs), but your points still stand.

This. I recall most predictions saying 2024 would be the tipping point, but even then I doubt regulations at the local and national level will change that fast.

Or even more extreme, perhaps, TAILS on a stick and you just yank the stick when you're done. As long as you don't connect via Tor you're all alone.

Ah memories. My first machine was a Classic ii. I think it might be in a friend's garage in Ohio, will have to check with him. Thanks for the great post!
