Even if you do it won't help. You need to be off-grid. The vast majority of solar panels are deliberately designed to shut down when there's a power cut so that they don't feed power back into dead wires (that might be in the middle of being repaired).
I feel like I was totally on board until the conclusion about one fast system and one stable one. It's not really possible in practice, once a customer starts paying for something, even a vibe coded app by a sales person, it's now a stable system.
The thing breaks, the salesperson says "can you check this out?" then disappears and we're back to where we started.
I don't even find this very new: many companies I've been at have tried to spin-off a "fast" team to sell stuff.

lol.
We millennials are in a position to start giving advice the way boomers used to do with us, now that school is looking more like a couple decades ago instead of just one.
But, unlike those boomers, we don't watch the nightly news: we snort it from a tiny screen all day long from sources hyper engineered to feed off our anxiety.
So we give all this super pessimistic advice.
"Back in my day, I got a job at google right after college and it was awesome! My code was elegant! You guys are FUCKED!"
I agree that AI is creating mega changes, many very bad, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea or even true to tell GenZ people they're fucked. We don't know if they're fucked.
I think they could have a ton of fun with software and I think it's OK to be encouraging about that.
I read this yesterday and thought "only a matter of time for us". We use Wise twice a month and have for a couple of years.
Today I was surprised to find out that matter of time was 12 hours, as I logged in and see:
"We've temporarily blocked your Wise account. We're missing important information from you."
When I click the link, it says: "That address doesn't look right" and shows my business address. That is right.
There's no way to contact nor do anything other than change the address. I of course don't want to change the address, because it's my business address. Lol.
The article you posted doesn't mention "offline" at all. We use SQLite as a cache in the browser when available and in iOS/Android/desktop apps, but we didn't have any guarantee that a page you want offline is actually available offline.
It would "mostly work" offline before, but you could have cases where some blocks in a page aged out of the LRU, or they changed online in a way that invalidated the page but new content wasn't downloaded. When that happens we show a "go online to view" error instead of risking you viewing/editing a known-incorrect local snapshot of the page.
With "available offline", we now proactively download and keep up-to-date the content you want available offline. It will either work, or show an explicit error if things go wrong in the sync process. No more guesswork.
