I once read a paper about Apache/Meta Thrift [1,2]. Similarly, it allows the definition of data types/interfaces and code generation for many programming languages. It was specifically designed for RPCs and microservices.

What we need is:

1. make science self-publishing using decentralised protocols the default 2. redefine traditional journals and publishers as curators or labellers on top of the network, instead of owners


Before you do either of those you need to convince academia that publishing in traditional journals/"prestige" legacy journals does not matter as much to the job. The entire system has Goodhart's Law-ed themselves into a trap connecting tenure to a very specific kind of publishing. Until that changes everything else will just get ignored.


The academia is not the real problem. Once you pass the initial filters, you will be judged by other academics, who are usually pretty reasonable. (For every reviewer 2, there is also a reviewer 1 and a reviewer 3.) They may not always notice that things work in different ways in different fields, and they may not have enough time to evaluate you properly. But they will usually at least try to see behind the metrics.

Governments are another matter, because they lack the expertise to judge your work. Immigration officials in particular are something academics often have to deal with. For some type-2 fun, try applying for a visa that requires something beyond a PhD from a reputable university and a job offer.


Similar to HN submission "Extracting HN book recommendations with ChatGPT api", I used chat gpt to analyse student's texts from their portfolio pages to help the teachers get raw overview of whats going on on them.


I will give you a very partial answer. It's not about any concrete syllabuses but the whole approach to life and world. The answer varies a lot based on their age, school year, level etc. But in general, I would recommend you to plant a seed of self-education abilities in their life, if haven’t already. By those abilities I mean mostly self-reflection but also others which result from self-reflection: self-assessment, self-directed learning and going further even self-determined learning. These are abilities that will help them to understand how they stand in any situation and adapt to unpredictable changes in the fast-changing world we indeed live in. Of course, the journey of life-long learning is a long run. I can elaborate more on this if it helps you.
