Just got contacted by a recruiter for a venture-backed startup looking to replace 911 operators with LLMs to triage emergency calls and boy I can鈥檛 express how much A) no I do not want to join your company, and B) how much I do not want to live in the world where 911 calls are handled by LLMs operated by for-profit companies

Frontend devs. Sweeties. Let's talk.
Do you remember the Web in the 90s? I do. My computer today has more RAM than my computer in the 90s had hard disk. My cable modem today can download that amount of data several times over every second.
The web today feels as slow today as it did in the 90s. On a 56k modem.
It's not your fault. I get it. Business demands, shifting frameworks. But engineer to engineer here, I'm really gonna need you to start telling them no. It's getting embarrassing.
