Does advertising really work?
Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on.
Everyone I know uses ad-blockers online.
I avoid sites that say 'You can't view this site unless you turn off your ad-blocker.'
And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.

For decades(?) we laughed at the hacker-news commenters who felt they could build Dropbox in a weekend.

We knew that engineer was confusing the ability to write a POC with an actual enterprise-ready solution.

AI now lets everyone be that engineer.

It's an odd feeling when you hear that people study your work (Scarfolk) at university, even that it informs their own research, and is subsequently written about in academic articles and monographs.

Now I've heard there was a secret path
The hacker typed and it pleased the app
But you don't really sanitize it, do ya?
It goes like this, dot dot, then slash
Then up a dir, no not to /trash
The filesystem "just doing what I told ya"

../. ./.. /../ ../ ../ ../
