You don't want to live in a society where an increasingly large percentage of the population have nothing to lose.

Regardless of whether it benefits our industry or socioeconomic status, it'd be incredibly shortsighted to just do all of that at the expense of the lower classes.

I can think of one valuable use-case: parsing through JSON responses for APIs with poor fields/response documentation -- especially if you have to parse through a ton of information.

Still way more readable than XML.

I agree. Its a coin flip. We don't know what the long term effects of COVID are, we don't know what the long term effects of the vaccine are. I'd argue that we know more about what COULD happen with the vaccine long term and I'd rather place my bets on that. The alternative is hiding away for 20+ years and not getting vaccinated or contracting COVID, obviously not feasible.

"I can't help but groan at some of the "obvious" health and weight loss platitudes that get smugly thrown around."

On the flip side, the people that are told this are the ones that are annoyingly attempting to maintain their bad eating habits while just adding exercise, or adding fab foods, or anything really to delude themselves into thinking they can continue to eat the same way.

I agree.

Which is why its hilarious whenever I ask around for recommendations, especially on Reddit, everyone tries to peg it as a non issue. As if your head never moves and you only have one monitor.
