Users are. Listings aren’t. Most of my feed is ads for online stores masquerading as local listings. Like legit 10 out of 12 are this. You can search but you can’t just see “what has been listed lately” and their AB testing keeps changing the UI slightly so you can’t always find the right filters anyways.
In theory it all sounds great and makes total sense but when the company grows to a billion dollar firm and hires engineers to work on the said monolith thats when things breakdown. The founding team was a closet knit team and ensure there is no spaghetti code but the moment you move on from that closely knit group its hard to enforce constraints.
Have worked at multiple companies that started out as a monolith and are still running the monolith in some form or the other while breaking it down into micro services.
My whole point was I like to be in total control my password database, and never have to decide whether to trust a third party provider or not.
Not saying Dropbox or lastpass isn’t trustworthy. Just that it’s a point of failure you can eliminate, if the lack of convenience isn’t a huge deal to you.
biggest recommendation would be dont do this as a short term goal with a diet.. that never helps and you will gain back your pounds. introduce exercise into your routine. eat healthy but dont deprive yourself of stuff. if you like to eat fried chicken eat it but try to make it yourself.
Specifically about fried chicken, I love it myself, but it turns out making "fried" chicken in the oven is super easy. And it's not really fried, so super healthy. I learned it from this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jACqgyPAtD4&t=671s
But just to outline how easy it is, the whole process is basically to cover the chicken with some cornstarch and salt, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, then cook it in the oven for forty-ish minutes. So easy, and tastes 80% as good as real fried chicken.
