Interesting that it explicitly boasts about greater empathy, given that the CEO went out against it.

Apple enacting RTO, one has to wonder whether the author would go so far as to say that Tim Cook is a "bad" CEO who "fears" remote work.

Still, the author isn't saying "A CEO is bad if and only if they hate remote work". Being bad is the premise.

A hidden premise of this piece is that the author agrees with the current economic system, which requires exponential growth at all times, which ends up also requiring that most people have children.

Otherwise, the criticism of low birth rates becomes pointless.

Just because the person who coined the term had something else in mind, doesn't mean that it is inherently better than what it became.

The author also misses an important point: Most applications nowadays must have multiple UIs, e.g., not only HTML, but also iOS and Android. The current pattern of using JSON-RPC-style APIs serves this reality much better than "correct" REST, since it can be reused.

I agree.

However, a tool like Prisma only seems possible (with all its benefits) within Typescript, which is able to compute arbitrary types dynamically.

For me, the following is a bit that seems particularly prone to be invalidated, even more so considering that the author doesn't present any proof of it:

Here, we notice that if we had one more span, <v3 , v4 , v5 >, for example, it would be connected to <v1 , v2 , v3 >, but not overlapped with <v1 , v2 , v3 >. Being aware of this difference is important since the overlapped spans imply the consecutive ‘’s, just like <v1, v1, v2> and <v1, v2, v3>, which correspond to two consecutive ‘’s: (c2 , ) and (c3 , ). Therefore, the overlapped spans exhibit some kind of transitivity. That is, if s1 and s2 are two overlapped spans, the s1 ∪ s2 must be a new, but bigger span. Applying this operation to all the spans over a p-path, we will get a ’transitive closure’ of overlapped spans.

Point is, individual initiative and individual liberty don't matter when you don't have dignity, e.g. being homeless, drowning in debt, etc.

In all socialist experiences, the standard of living of the lower class skyrocketed in comparison to the respective previous regimes. This is a measurable, material fact. In comparison, what you and most liberalist thinkers label as "fairness" is not only abstract but also disconnected from the current reality.
