I'm always confused as to why there's such a trend on the internet of romanticizing pilot's judgement and whatever they arbitrarily decide to do when flying a plane. Like videos of some pilot refusing to fly the plane because something feels off. And everyone in the comment praises the pilot and says that whatever maintenance said must be wrong and the pilot's instinct is some sort of all-seeing, all-encompassing entity that can see beyond the puny engineers and mechanics tasked with putting a plane in operating condition.
I am a full-stack developer, have a lot of engineering experience in healthtech and law, HIPAA compliance, encryption at rest and agentic deployements in critical domains. I created my own clinical platform end to end, created specially for clinical psychologists handling complex cases. We are in the early deployement stages and have partnered with universities to test the app.
I am especially looking to work with nonprofits, be it in healthcare, education, public-interest, or any altruist driven goal. I am also experienced in forward-deployed roles and feel comfortable managing high-stakes communication.
People just keep pitching Kagi as revolutionary, especially software engineers and people on HN.
I respect a lot of them, people I respect a lot, and I saw people like Jon Gjengset use it. so I gave it a few months of daily use. I just eventually drifted back to Google. The results weren't better for anything I search for. It felt different, but not better in any measurable way. $10/mo for a different feel is a strange value prop.
DuckDuckGo sits in the same spot for me. I want to like it, and I don't think one company should own web search, but when I need to find something Google finds it first. I wish the answer were different, but that's just how things are.
Only in a very pedantic sense. Google definitely sells the service of doing things based on your data. It is, in fact, their biggest and oldest revenue stream.
