that seems weird, right?

Yeah... but you can't just move a session across a heterogeneous set of servers with different backends, etc... Maybe some of your APIs are on one platform, the apps themselves on another. There are several libs that can help you do that.

Eh. JWTs are super handy if you have a single web experience spread across multiple backend apps on the same domain, with a single SSO server to set up the user auth. Definitely not for storing anything sensitive, but treating it like a fancy session cookie with the minimal amount one needs to securely access resources - customerId or whatever - makes life a lot easier than trying to wire up cookie / session management across a lot of different, disparate apps.

I think it means - we're spending more money on AI thus we don't have as much to spend on people

Don't worry - I'm sure the people he hires will be super super competent, like the rest of the folks he's hired to run departments and whatnot

I definitely see a steady stream of Dashers come into the coffee shops I work out of... I'm still sort of shocked at how many people use these services, given how expensive they are: "More than half of adults under 45 use delivery at least once a week, and 13 percent use it once a day. Five percent use it multiple times a day. But the delivery boom isn’t confined to young people or to urbanites: About one in eight Baby Boomers uses delivery once a week, and so does about one in five rural dwellers."

The SSA released updated historical name data covering from 1880-2024. usBabyNames.js is a convenient wrapper for those resources, repackaging the original text file distribution into a sqlite db for easy consumption. Slice and dice the names how you like... spot trends, oddities, etc...
