It becomes much easier to understand what data exists and build tools on top of it's schema. But the extra cludge it adds to optimise the specific case of returning less data in a field is often counter productive.
(Made my morning to see both these names pop up in the same notification when I woke up )
Some might say that we've become stuck in that outpouring, and enamoured with conflict rather than any kind of coherent vision for how to be.
My favorite episode was probably: https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/glen-weyl-radically-...
The first time I listened I noped out after the first 20 minutes due to all the terminology being slung around and (seemingly) ungrounded anti-capitalist rhetoric. But I gave it another go after the episode with Vitalik Buterin and I'm very glad I did. Once they get going it's a fascinating introduction to collective action problems, public goods, and bleeding edge ideas of what we might do to solve them (pairs well with "Vitalik Buterin on The Portal" first as a gentler intro to the idea of public goods).
The charter cities institute episode was also great as an exploration of new ideas that might really move the needle on human suffering

If you've ever worked with distributed systems and JavaScript (ideally but not necessarily at the same time) I desperately need another set of hands attached to a brain on my team. We've been prototyping a project for two years and we want to be in production within 2 months.
Engineers here are pointed at really interesting problems and given the space to work on them. I've honestly never worked at a company that's better struck that balance between not micromanaging, but also not just giving you vague requirements hoping you'll create value.
- Highly technical, easy to work with director - All the typical bells and whistles (infinite real coffee, weekly shopping list, parties etc) - Strict "No dickhead" policy

The problem isn't just the existence of scammers imho, the problem is that the two players with the most power to prevent fraud: The Bank, and The customers are incorrectly incentivised. The Bank doesn't care because it can foist responsibility onto the people moving the money from A to B (eg, Stripe, who then has to pass it onto the merchant) and the customer doesn't care because the bank uses its power to make sure the customer doesn't have to pay the consequences for being unsafe with their credit card information.
Until either the bank gets tougher on fraudulent activity (being more proactive about investigating accounts fraudulent payments went to, punishing customers for being loose with their credit cards, etc) or we can implement some kind of two-factor process inherent to the whole credit card system nothing will change.
