I think you're underestimating the draw of para-social relationships. That's what powers the "social media" part of TikTok. I think it would be disingenous to suggest that TikTok is anything other than social media.

It's literally not the job of consumers to provide for your income. That may be a harsh lesson, but it's true.

> the truth is that with AMP the pages load faster, and are slimmer - with no exceptions

I'm not sure this is as universally true as you think it is

What happened to all the AMP defenders that used to flood the comment section?

Reddit literally does not care about the usability of their mobile site: https://old.reddit.com/r/mobileweb/comments/o7wo1s/this_subr...

It'd be great if there was a music service that somehow incorporated the metadata in something like the Allmusic database. Say for example, while listening to an album, you could click on any side member and easily access any other album they'd played on. Same with songwriters, or album producers, recording engineers, etc. You can get all or most of this manually, but tied into a listening interface would be pretty slick.

That said, I don't know how much of a market there'd be for this

Procrastination is largely an emotional management issue. Strategies like this can still be helpful for many people, but this doesn't really address the core issue

I would somewhat disagree. While I don't think the factors you mention can be ignored, putting too much emphasis on them starts to feel like anxiety. It's a lot easier to cede personal time to your employer when you've already convinced yourself that they deserve it. Anxiety just makes it easier to fall into that trap

That sounds pretty great actually. I just know what for me, none of this really "clicked" until I had someone to work through these emotions with

I really do hope your page helps some people with their procrastination issues. But I can't help feel like your whole approach suffers from engineers disease. But maybe that's what will resonate with some folks.

A compassionate therapist can also do wonders for procrastination.

I'm still bitter about their Indiegogo campaign. I did get half a refund, so that's better than most failed crowdsourced projects.

Research seems to agree with you:

This is very typical in an enterprise shop where you have end users connecting directly to the database for reporting purposes. Being able to take advantage of your existing directory structure and security groups is huge.

Yet formal correctness is about "getting things 100% correct 100% of the time" to the greatest extent possible (you can mathematically prove the "correctness" of a program using formal methods, but it still has to run on actual hardware and you're assuming there are no bugs in your tooling).

I know Alaska used Lotus Domino (a web framework with Lotus Notes as the development stack) in the late '90s to put some of their services online (job postings/electronic applications is the big one I remember). It worked pretty well at the time, but finding Lotus Domino developers isn't easy since it's such a niche product

One of the hosts of that podcast is an evolution denier. Not someone I’d expect to get valuable insight from
