LAMP with dynamic webpages (I assume your approach) works just like it ever did (besides SSL)

But are you really keen to make a PHP dynamic webpage application where each page imports some database function/credentials and uses them to render html?

Can you keep the behavior of fluent userflow (e.g. menu not rerendering) that way? Only with minimal design.

When in 2006 most webpages had an iframe from the main content, an iframe for the menu, and maybe an iframe for some other element (e.g. a chat window), it was fine to refresh one of those or have a link in one load another dynamic page. Today that is not seen to be very attractive and to common people (consumers and businesses), unattractive means low-trust which means less income. Just my experience, unfortunately. I also loved that era in hindsight, even though the bugs were frustrating, let alone the JS binding and undefined errors if you added that...

Yeah, you are very right.

If you start peaking success, you realize that while your happy path may work for 70% of real cases, it's not really optimal to convert for most of them. Sentry helps a lot, you see session replay, you get excited.

You realize you can A/B test... but you need a tool for that...

Problem: Things like Openreplay will just crash and not restart themselves, with multiple container setups, some random part going down will just stop your session collection, without you noticing.. try to debug that? Goodluck, it'll take at least half a day. And often, you restore functionality, only to have another random error take it down a couple of months later, or you realize, the default configuration is only to keep 500mb of logs/recordings (what), etc, etc...

You realize you are saving $40/month for a very big hassle and worse, it may not work when you need it. You go back to sentry etc..

Does Canine change that?

I totally agree. What is life living with just summaries?

Podcasts and blog posts fall into "unique value/view/information I am learning" or entertainment "something that feels like a (parasocial) friend - content I can predictably expect and get some dopamine/sense of socialness from".

Summaries for the former remove the eureka moments and brain connections between ideas, replacing them with takeaways, and summaries for the latter are like summarizing a TV episode in text: no entertainment tends to really come from it.

I think it comes from having many messages at work, and I get that. When you have 50-100 messages/documents a day, quick summaries are a lifesaver, they help you filter, avoid, or get to the facts. But for things I select listening to.. for those hours of rest or (scientific) curiosity in my life.. summaries are not a virtue.

(for Parasocial - the feeling is: This person won't update me on their relationship problems, they'll explain a cool thing about castles to me and share their opinion, etc.)
