    was dotcom this annoying too?

    Surprisingly, it was not this annoying.

    It was very annoying, but at least there was an end in sight, and some of it was useful.

    We all knew that www.only-socks-and-only-for-cats.com was going away, but eBay was still pretty great.

    In contrast, we’re all standing around today looking at many times the world’s GDP being bet on a pretty good autocomplete algorithm waking up and becoming fully sentient.

    It feels like a different level of irrational.

    To me, this is more annoying. But I might have been too young and naïve back then.

  If you can’t see it you’re not paying attention.

    If you’re seeing it, you’re delusional.
