Especially regarding the first one: this seems like a very US-centric thing - or maybe a non-german thing. I've been in a bunch of interviews on both sides of the table here in Germany and I've literally never encountered a single leetcode question. At all.

Dynamically typed languages all suffer that fate. There's a reason Typescript literally has that feature in its name.

What does help though is type hinting. You "just" have to enforce it and its fallout in your entire codebase.

Or, and that's gonna sound like a crazy theory - they just think, they can make money off of whatever they're building.

Look at the track record of Zuckerberg. He's not a visionary, he just has visions. He's a manchild who never heard no or criticism. There is no convoluted long term plan. There are just erratic pipedreams that are sold as grand projects for marketing reasons.

So, I'm supposed to be happy, that I'm only sucking the good Western dick?

Seriously, take a step back and look at what you're saying. You're acknowledging that the system sucks, but because I happen to be among the slightly less fucked group, I'm supposed to be happy?

I'm from East Germany, were the socialist party members here 40 years ago supposed to be happy, that they at least were not one of those in political prison? Were the half Jews 90 years ago supposed to be happy, that they are at least not put into camps (yet)?

We live in a system that literally kills millions of people every year in the name of money and forces billions of people into misery. And I'm supposed to be happy that I can afford a vacuum robot without a second thought?

It's possible by analyzing the title and subtext (and the article snippet, if it exists). I tried to have an AI model estimate the likeness of articles. Worked relatively well, but I lack the motivation to build it out into a usable app.

Even as a link aggregator that would be perfectly fine for me personally.

What really bugs me is that many news sites don't keep their feeds clean, so you often have duplicates and most importantly: if you have multiple sources, you'll get multiple copies of the same information packaged slightly differently - often I'm not even interested in one copy.

For example, all news outlets had some Grammy/Taylor Swift crap in their feeds. Each outlet had like three different articles, all regurgitating the same information. I would love to have something like topic clusters, so that I could discard all articles I'm not interested in in bulk.

I even tried building it myself, but wasn't very successful.

You could try to redo the copy and monitor the system in htop, for example. Maybe there's a memory or CPU bottleneck. Maybe one of your drives is failing, maybe you've got a directory with tons of very small files, which causes a lot of overhead.

This seems to be rather an embedded cache and not an external system.

Whether the (impressive looking) benchmarks are believable, is up to you.

Yeah, because being required to a) compete with "capitalist" software and corporations while b) having most developers working only in their free time besides a regular job forced on them by capitalism kind of means capitalism is kind of involved here.

Don't act so smug, you're a hooker just like we all are. We just have the luxury to be somewhat higher class escorts and not crack whores. But we're getting fucked nonetheless.

So you're saying, that UIs are only good, if the user of the software pays for it directly, because offering a UI for free (like Instagram) disincentivices making it good, despite the fact that said UI requires a good UX to be even economically viable?

Have you used Microsoft Word, Windows or SAP lately?

Your entire argument sounds more like you really want to believe Atlas Shrugged was a documentary, and not like an analysis.

3mb/s sounds more like there is something else going on.

Not really, at least not in a useful way. I have an i5 6500 in an old Dell desktop and even with 16gb of RAM, you can't really do that much without waiting forever. My m1 air is way faster.
