Of course, since you describe RA as "explicitly an experimental project to prototype the right architecture for an IDE", all that doesn't matter and you can set the project's goal to be whatever you want. However, it just sucks for us, the users, because RA is the only thing we have. I'm just glad to see someone else is trying to do something different. And may the best project win.
you are heavily downplaying the power and influence some of these people have. Sam Bankman-Fried is one of these people, for example
one doesn't simply become rational just by calling oneself rationalists.

why does The Economist have so much disdain of manufacturing and people who work in it? look at China, look at their manufacturing industry and what they are able to do with it. then look at the UK, who is struggling to build Hinkley Point C, or HS2 (projected to be the most expensive high-speed rail in the world btw). The Economist is an absolute f*ing joke.
As a software developer, I am a much better doctor than actual trained doctors, and am definitely immune to any placebo effects.
you can drag only by clicking on a ui element that has no indication that it can be dragged.
