the handful of sites you feel like you're stuck using for some reason

Billions have been spent building walls around niche and small sites to funnel people into major platforms. Pretending this ad/discoverability infrastructure doesn't exist is very naive.

As someone who has written many docs, it's because 99% won't read it (rightfully so if it's verbose). You can turn that doc into a skill in a repo and Claude will read it everytime it's needed.

  I would think, the golden age of criminal hacking is drawing to a close. This assume companies smart enough to do this however.

It's rarely the systems that are the weak link, rather the humans with backdoor access.

Communication technologies have been evolving for billions of years

Amazing how technology existed before sentient life!

Any "private" space in a public place becomes valuable with more density. It's basic scarcity incentives. It unfortunately incentivizes hooligans to make the restroom appear even more disheveled and unsafe to increase the privacy (less people want to go in it)

You're reading way too far into it. Private spaces are simply easier targets.

Great point, if the only constant is change, then philosophy should follow (or lead).

  want to give other nice people the benefit of the doubt

Maybe the most naive, sheltered thing I've read on this site. If we were talking about an individual OSS maintainer, sure, that's possible. But large corporations have been doing the opposite for as long as they've existed and there's evidence presented to that fact nearly everyday.

You must be new then, welcome :)

I'm not saying I never believe any individuals in a company intentionally do bad stuff, just that I require evidence of it being intention before I assume it to be intentional. Personally I don't think that's naive, and it is based on ~30-40 years of real world life experience, but I guess I'm ultimately happy that not everyone agrees on everything :)

Humans are great at hiding evidence of malice, and leading people to believe they're just incompetent.

Just came to say (since the person you’re responding to has a different view of the world) that I agree with you that this is both a more accurate, and easier way to live. Assuming malice as the default sounds like a recipe for being very, very unhappy.

This attitude of ignoring what is true in favour of what makes you happy is exactly how corporations made up of mostly good people can do bad things.

Thank you, it's really crazy to be see "it's sad that you want truth when ignorance makes me happy" being upvoted on this platform. I suppose it's par for the course on a VC forum..

And yet many people assume malice by default and are unhappy as a result in this day and age. It's unfortunate.

Things that have never happened with USD. Glad we have a truly clean pure money that is incorruptible unlike bitcoin.

Likely because they are fully aware of the power dynamics in a job and understand of when they are being taken advantage for performative theater.
