This reminds of "Shock Tanks" my brother and I used to have. The concept is pretty simple, your RC tank get 3 lives per round, if it gets hit you get shocked.

Do you have any resources for the planning/architecting phase of developing a unified API like this?

I work in a similar space, but for physical hardware, and one challenge we've frequently encountered is the somewhat massive variety of how our vendors handle certain tasks behaviorally within their platform.

This is horribly depressing, to the point where if we're so doomed in the next 10 years I ask:

- Why do I care what happens?

- Why do I go on living?

- Most importantly, what is the solution, or mitigation, or any level of alternative other than accepting defeat?

It's harsh, but I feel that at this point, if you're not offering _some_ kind of solution to this issue, then what is the answer other than to smile and wave as we descend into this "apocalypse".

I understand this may not be a popular approach, but I have to _believe_ that we can avoid this scenario, because otherwise I lose all motivation to even try. Even if all is doomed, I have to try.

Not the user you replied to, but for me:

Open blinds in the morning, shut them at sundown.

Turn on porchlights after dark if I'm not home. Turn them off 10m after I'm home.

Turn HVAC up/down when I leave the house, revert when I get home.

Unlock doors when I arrive home. Make sure they're locked when I leave.
