“What kids told us about how to get off cigarettes”

While I agree there’s a problem with how helicopter-y society is with kids these days, I think it’s ridiculous to expect kids to resist a device that is designed to be addictive. Teams of tens of thousands of the most highly skilled people in the world are laser focused on squeezing every second of attention out of _adults_ let alone kids. We need regulation, full stop. I don’t know what that looks like, but if you’ve ever seen a toddler scrolling TikTok like a zombie you should know what’s at stake.

I imagine there is a lot of new pressure on public APIs now that there’s an explosion of vibe coded projects accessing them (some probably quite haphazardly).

Why build your own community software? Sounds like a waste of resources, there are many off the shelf and open source alternatives.

I've been evaluating AI code review vendors for my org. We've trialed a couple so far. For me, taking the workflow out of GitHub is a deal breaker. I'm trying to speed things along, not upend my whole team's workflow. What's your take on that?

Congrats on shipping. Curious, why Slack? Is this intended for book clubs at companies specifically?
