I guess everyone has their own take on how to do this. (Here's mine: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/6697#issuecommen...)

What's missing from many of these projects is the ability to remix / mashup people's peice of this goal. Imo, these efforts often seem to attract grand visions instead of utilitarians. I talked to one guy and he was pretty hostile about me using his open source code in a way he didn't approve.

You may be excited about your project, but this really isn't doing the same thing as SOLID at all.

"within a few months I'll release an open source ML powered browser that speeds up their web browsing experience by something between 10X-100X" sounds more grand than utilitarian to me.

Nobody has to change their code to support whatever odd thing you want to do with it, or even to think that what you want to do is worthwhile. It's open source, change it yourself. Or don't, but remember that other people have the right to say "no, I'm not doing that."

If you load stuff from disk vs the web, I'm pretty sure those numbers bear out. BTW I was happy to write the code, but he wasn't happy to take the pull request. That's fair enough but it changed my calculations on where to spend my hobby time so I wrote my own version of his code.
