100%. My team started using graphite.dev, which provides AI generated PR descriptions that are so bloated with useless content that I've learned to just ignore them. The issue is they are doing a kind of reverse inference from the code changes to a human-readable description, which doesn't actually capture the intent behind the changes.

I just cancelled my Kagi subscription over the weekend. Some of the ideas in the article resonate (the dev team seems spread way too thin) but I also decided that the main product just wasn't distinct enough. The lens and quick answers features were nice, but otherwise the search results were not that different from Google's -- Having just switched back, I haven't noticed a significant difference.

I also think this product might be a bit too late. GPT4 has been out for over a year now, and it's changed how I look for answers. I tried FastGPT but like the author I found it lacking. As it stands, Perplexity feels more like the future of search than Kagi.

I’m disappointed, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I once tried to contact their support team after getting effectively locked out of my account, only to have the support form return a 5XX error upon submission. I dropped them right then and there.

Slack is down 6 years ago

It would be a mass customer extinction event for said service, and would effectively result in a windfall for competing services

Reading "The Design of Everyday Things" will give you a sense of the basics -- After that try learning a popular frontend-web framework (like Bootstrap / Foundation) which follows lot of the industry-standard UI practices out-of-the-box. Also checkout things like WAI-ARIA / WCAG, which outline accessibility standards on the web.
