This might be good advice for people who haven't already had the rest of the living optimized out of their lives. But not everyone is so lucky...

Also, the article kind of agrees with what you're saying, even if you don't realize it. Any exercise, even if it's not organized like a weight lifting regimen might be, might be enough to keep you healthy. I think leaning into that could make exercise more genuinely enjoyable for many more people, instead of just an exercise in optimization.

I got a low profile ortho 40% called Technik from Boardsource: https://www.deskhero.ca/products/technik-by-boardsource-xyz

Unfortunately seems to have entirely disappeared from their website despite being a really lovely product that I've daily driven for years. If anyone finds a replacement I could recommend to friends I'd love to know about it.

I think there is in fact a discrepancy between displaying flags and advocating directly for gendered violence:

> Debian contributor "NoisyCoil" said that they had wanted to argue in favor of keeping the packages, but after looking at the content they had decided against it:

> > I went peeking at the package and, unless I'm completely missing something, the second offensive Italian fortune says that women's "no"s should be interpreted as "yes", while the third one explicitly calls for violence on women [1]. Like, it literally says women should be beaten on a regular basis. I'm afraid I can't help you here, sorry.

Once you see it as a throughline of your conversations with people who have been steeped in the American culture for so long, it is hard to unsee.

> Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure.

> We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.

Yep. The only place I have had anything like this is at the University of Connecticut dairy farm. They make the ice cream on campus from dairy cows that live on campus. And it's lovingly made by bushy-tailed, bright-eyed students, so the technique is immaculate as well.

There are some facsimiles where I live now but nothing could ever replace the real thing.

I've not personally had it but from my experience with fresh high quality high milk fat dairy (which I believe Soviet ice cream to be), the richness, high fat content, lack of air bubbles and stabilizers help keep it from melting.

And when we do let them self-regulate (like Boeing) shit hits the fan a few years later (737 MAX et al.) like clockwork.

Unfortunately I have just as little trust in this instance of the US government as I do the corporations. Hopefully it's only two more years of this.

> To date, five manufacturers have pleaded guilty to their involvement in an international price-fixing conspiracy between July 1, 1998, and June 15, 2002, including Hynix, Infineon, Micron Technology, Samsung, and Elpida.

It is history; we have not learned; we are doomed to repeat it.

From https://www.newsweek.com/brian-thompson-muder-health-insuran...

> The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has prompted healthcare executives to say they will address growing frustrations among Americans struggling with access to and costs of medical care.

From https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/health/health-insurers-preapp...

> Months after the killing of a top health insurance executive unleashed Americans’ pent-up anger over denials of medical care, the industry announced Monday that it will take action to “streamline, simplify and reduce” the preapproval process.

However, from https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/health/insurers-prior-authori...

> However, multiple provider associations and patient advocacy groups interviewed by CNN say that little, if anything, has changed over the past year.

So, hard to say for sure.

I mean it kind of already is in harnesses. Codex and Claude Code both have subagent tools. You could probably get a similar token output cut just by asking Claude Code to run all commands with Haiku as a summarizing subagent.

Take for example https://github.com/rust-stdx/stdx/tree/main/itoa. Its licenses and copyright information have been stripped. You are permitted to make copies of code under the MIT license, but the license also includes:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

If the original repo were to disappear, it would be important to know who wrote the code and what the license actually is.

I'd be pretty pissed off if my LLM told me the only solution it'd be willing to implement to fix my code is to rewrite it in Rust. No way I'd pay for a model that refuses to fix bugs in the language given, especially because maybe I might not have the ability to convince other stakeholders to change it.

1. Spoilage claims are not usually covered by insurance if the power interruption starts at the utility company instead of in your building. It's pretty rare that anyone knows to ask for that particular endorsement, and you're SoL without it.

2. You don't think everyone else was thinking the same thing?

Also, you can just have sympathy for people even if it were their own mistake. It doesn't cost you anything.

I'll restate what I'm seeing:

* WordPress remains roughly unchanged over the past five years, until the final datum which is lower than the flat trend.

* None had been decreasing but over the current year to date has increased sharply, correlating with the LLM trend and subjective notions of LLMs having "finally gotten good" for coding, though the trend is rather short.

* Over previous years, Shopify and Wix began to take increasing amounts of market share from WordPress as well as legacy competitors.

Because this chart shows proportions of the web rather than a total number of websites, and by virtue of remaining at the same proportion while the denominator increases, we know that the number of WordPress sites on the web is still increasing even if this is not clearly depicted by the chart. But I would argue the more important story is that WordPress is no longer eating the web as much as it is just consistent, and I think this shows that WordPress is now genuinely a little bit vulnerable as a singular platform choice to learn.

I don't disagree with the fact you had raised about fancy custom React SPA style apps being fairly rare in quantity across the web when so much of the web runs on whatever offering has a decent CMS and isn't too hard to deploy. And WordPress is still a great choice to learn today for those looking to make good money doing web dev, especially in freelance, marketing, e-commerce, etc.

But WordPress may actually finally be on the decline after holding steady after so many years, and having seen this data I would personally have come to a different conclusion than the one your post did.

Maybe I would have said something along the lines of "Despite the constant rumors of the death of PHP, WordPress has grown to serve nearly a majority of the websites on the internet and has held a steady chunk of the market for the last five years. Learning to use it is still many people's best chance at success in web development, even as other trendy technologies appear on the market. Even if WordPress were to significantly decline in popularity, a very large portion of the market for web development would continue to belong to those who chose to learn WordPress." I feel like that is still in the spirit of what your post intended, but with slightly closer alignment to some sort of data.
