      Good thread about the philosophy of software tools - read it. A few comments The Unix philosophy was only ever suited to a small number of men - men who naturally can think in ways that align with orderly input and output of data and can envision processing that data for a goalhttps://twitter.com/mattskala/status/1445575015164833801 …

      The problem is the loss of the Unix philosophy. Tools with simple but powerful functions; you have to learn what they do, but once you have learned that, it fits in your head. Contrast with a neural net, where you plug your vector into a matrix multiply and just hope. https://twitter.com/VarangianSkull/status/1445121771364093953 …

      Google built a great set of tools for those men to use and offered them for free because as early adopters those men were the most important part of the information ecosystem - both because of their influence on other people and what they could do with those tools.

      What was google getting out of that deal though? A reputation, data that was being given freely, and the chance to sell access to their users to advertisers. Now the landscape is very different so they tools they provide are different - more like Apple products.

          Now their real concern is "how to make search good enough that our product doesn't leave for an alternative search engine" - in the early days it was "how to be so far and away better than any other search engine that no one would imagine using them".

          In the long run, if you want quality search tools expect to pay for them with actual money because they're expensive to build and maintain and there's an arms race with people looking to trick the search tools. No idea how we get to that type of market though.

          None of this is the death of tools - it just means you have to adapt. Before to get the most out of the web you learned how to precisely phrase queries and use search operators. Now you organize your bookmarks and learn how to induce the black box to give you the desired results

          When you see something, remember it and mark it. Save files locally with a good system of indexing them because you're going to have a hard time finding non-text again if you don't.
