I also agree that it will not be a universally positive thing, but it is raising awareness of the issues and empowering better parent-child conversations through somewhat of a blunt forcing function.

I think it’s a solidly net positive though, but we’ll see how it plays out.

Lovely of you to say mate. Once I realised that this was inevitable we took the path of “prepare the child for the world rather than protect the child from the world”.

Even still I didn’t anticipate the firehose of algo-curated garbage that short form video can throw into a child’s brain.

The law was driven by the minister for esafety and is trying to protect children from the dopamine machine. It’s an interesting solution to a difficult problem. Tough to put the genie back in the bottle but a great experiment if you ask me.

Love to hear it! 🙌♥️

FWIW this also seems to be the case with languages. I've had a surprising amount of success with anything statically typed that has a small surface area (Gleam has hit this sweet spot for me lately).

This interesting interview with Barnabas Jovanovics, core Ash framework engineer, by Jacob Luetzow goes deep into what Ash is all about.

At out office, we're a fan of Ash. What's your opinion?
