The Julia and Mandelbrot sets always gets me. That such a complex structure could arise from such simple rules. Here's a brilliant explanation I found years back: https://www.karlsims.com/julia.html

Wait let's hear him out

I have to disagree with this paragraph. That Tailwind enforces a design system is its biggest strength. Having a small selection of colors, font sizes, and padding to choose from is what makes a website feel much more cohesive than one where developers pick arbitrary values every time they style an element.

But you don't need Tailwind for that; design systems are easy to implement these days using CSS custom properties.

These are fair counterpoints, thanks for the reply. My point was more that work is necessary in any society given today’s technology, even in one designed to be as egalitarian and non-coercive as possible

Having to work isn’t a societal issue, it’s the physical reality. Without food, water, and shelter, you’ll die, and someone needs to work to provide those things.

I want a post-scarcity utopia as much as the next guy, but until then, work needs to be done.

So make a self sustaining commune that lives up to your principles. I think you will find that to be more work than your average 9-5 however.

Yep. "A dozen of people came forward calling him a creep but we couldn't technically prove SA" is cold comfort

That was true at one point, but reddit has had personalized rankings for a while now. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/7hkvjn/what_we_think_about_when_we_think_about_ranking

But your point stands; reddit's earlier ranking methodology was obviously pretty good since it made the site so popular.
