This crept up quite a bit during the pandemic and a lot of people just "powered through" which only exacerbated things. That had a compounding effect on which led to burnout and anxiety.
One left tech to join his brother in an outdoors adventure company where they rent/sell rafting and camping equipment and run tours.
I know another one who shutdown his zombie startup. Now he just manages his rental properties and runs a newsletter for a "ZeroHedge" type crowd.
No one seems to be getting rich but they seem much more fulfilled.

Hey, I'm embarrassed to release this often, which is kind of the mantra around here, right?
Long story short is that I've decided to build an API service that wraps many of the most useful libraries and other services, even those "one-feature" SaaS offerings.
Be gentle, I'm sharing it to poke and critique.
I have some colleagues in F50 companies who asked to have a service like this deployed internally because of a number of bureaucratic reasons.
It is easier to get an internal API approved than it is to add it to the existing compiled/deployed software stacks. (weird, but it is what it is -- mostly about software supply chains)
Anyway, go look at the openapi spec and see that it is mostly just about scraping and format conversions (for now).
That didn't work for a number of reasons (cooking the books), but also network bandwidth is not fungible. Unlike commodities such as oil or natural gas, bandwidth’s value is highly dependent on specific factors like location, time, and network conditions. This variability makes it difficult to standardize bandwidth as a tradable commodity, complicating efforts to create a seamless trading market.
There are a few in the crypto/DePIN space poking at this problem. I remain highly skeptical.
I knew this was coming, so kudos to you all for getting out of the gate!
I've implemented this in our workflows, albeit a bit more naive: when we kick off new processes the user is given the option to "put a human in the loop" -- at which point processing halts and a user/group is paged to review the content in flight, along with all the chains/calls.
The human can tweak the text if needed and the process continues.
This is such a secret sleeper piece of software. Keep in mind this will also do video as well, which excites me to experiment with making 24/7 streaming channels like old-school cable tv.
It seems that the current mode (eg fashion) is a hybrid approach, with vector results on one side, BM25 on the other, and then a re-reank algo to smooth things out.
I'm out of my depth here but genuinely interested and curious to see over the horizon.
