They are not solving your problem. They are solving theirs.

This is an experimental project so there is nothing to be angry about. Time will tell if this was a good idea or not.

The key thing is not discipline. It's to make it yours. It's easy to make a software that would link your thoughts or weblinks together one way or another, but it's impossible to make it just like you would.

There is no software that would piece different ideas together to come up with a new one. That is called AI and we are not there yet.

What you want is get the results without doing any actual work yourself. This is not a problem that any software could fix.

This is not a tech problem. This applies to all the content on the internet.

I like your suggestion to motivate people to start thinking about what they are going to use and why.

When we have team refinements at work we learned to question everything. There are some senior developers that get most things right, but not every time. Sometimes some junior dev just throws an idea that turns out to be way better.

This is why I think the process of coming up with a solution is much more important than the solution itself.

With that being said - please remember that there is a fine line between valuable skepticism and just being annoying :)

As I said in my original post: China managed this so well that it could make others think that it was not that big of a deal.

Wasn't until it got Italy hard that most people opened their eyes.

But the point I was trying to make was that saying that somebody should've done something differently is not helping anybody. That's just complaining and nobody needs that.

This post is exactly the essence of why I don't like politics.

It's super easy to retrospectively say "they should've done something else". You might think that even you would do the right choice, but you are wrong.

Such decision is hard for any authority. You may vote for any person in the whole world and the result would probably be similar. Lockdown delivered too early could send whole country into chaos.

Also China managed this so well that it actually could work counterproductive for other countries.

What I'm trying to say is: Don't judge others. You have little idea of the situation they are in, and saying retrospectively "you should've known better" is just childish. Just learn from their mistakes.

With your attitude, you can choose any party and will always be unhappy about the choice.
