Indeed, well said. This is like a spotlight to moths haha
I'm bound to get downvoted here, but I ran this by my own local model.

> No One Understands Software Because No One Understands Time

> All Programming Languages Converge to English Eventually

> The Best Database Is Just Two People Talking

> Stop Writing Code. Start Legislating Software

And my personal favorite:

> AI Safety Is Just the New Gluten-Free

It’s depressing how good these would be at getting clicks. Perhaps all article titles should be banned!
I would totally believe all of these to be real headlines if I saw them on Hacker News.
I know! Tempted to write them…
Please do!
