There are things we take for granted like… electricity.
Learning about how electricity is created, transformed, transported, distributed in a way that it just “works” - and it’s fascinating.
So much complexity behind the scenes - yet most ppl never have to think about it.

No private browser should handle user location data on its remote servers, even if it is anonymized. The #privacy label of Firefox now includes location. Firefox settings that are on by default make it hard to recommend it as a privacy-focused browser.

There's this evergreen joke on software development that goes something like this:
"We're done with 90% of the project. Which means we only have the other 90% left to go."
It's funny because it's true. It's also why experienced engineers are in-demand: they are the "finishers."
AI tools: not now.
