The browser is a sandbox with a bunch of discoverable features. Those features exist for the user but a side effect is they leak data which individually is probably not interesting but collectively is a fingerprint.

To be less of a fingerprint you'd need to remove JS from the entire web.

Neat idea. This probably has the disadvantage of coupling deployment to a service. For example how do you scale up or red/green (you'd need the thing that does this to be aware of the push).

Edit: that thing exists it is uncloud. Just found out!

That said it's a tradeoff. If you are small, have one Hetzner VM and are happy with simplicity (and don't mind building images locally) it is great.

Nope. Just that 1. Is better than people. 2. Isn't better than people. Pick one!

If the former then yes singularity. The only hope is it's "good will" (wouldn't bet on that) or turning off switches.

If the latter you still need more workers (programmers or whatever they'll be called) due to increased demand for compute solutions.

I thought debugging was table stakes. It isn't always the answer. If a lot is going on logs can be excellent (plus grep or an observability tool)

However debugging is an essential tool in the arsenal. If something is behaving oddly even the best REPL can't match debugging as a dev loop (maybe lisp excepted).

I even miss the ability to move the current execution point back in .NET now I use Go and JS. That is a killer feature. Edit and continue even more so!

Then next level is debugging unit tests. Saved me hours.
