What is it with people and not seeing things for what they actually are? These are just if then else loops on steroids, not human behaviour, so don't expect more. Every reasonably advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic ... what do you see? Magic or technology?
Offer the content, which is otherwise scraped, as a tarbal + diffs via a torrent or p2p network making it more efficient and cheaper for the crawlers to obtain the data.
You're wrong there. You are capable of judging the outcome of the llm.

Don't you think it all has taken long enough. When I look back at the beginning of my career and compare what we do now ... I cannot shake the feeling we're essentially still solving he same problems and we have accepted that as being normal. Complexity skyrocketed, (abstraction) layers got added but the needle didn't move exponentially together with that. I think the IT industry as a whole gets what it deserves, thinking that we would remain the maze masters of the mazes we create.

I'm looking for 8 (affordable) oak panel doors with the exact same measurements as my current doors so I can replace them. That shouldn't be too hard to find you'd think right?
Depends on what you are monitoring but let's assume an API endpoint.
Collect and monitor the RED metrics with detailed dimensions in combination with blackbox monitoring simulating client transactions as realistic possible and alert only on those 2 types.
When that happens, fire off a battery of diagnostic checks which you have collected over time to pinpoint the cause.
What if the diagnostics checks don't reveal the issue? There is still value since you know these are not the reason so no time is wasted re-evaluating them.
Where to get these diagnostic checks from? Well, what's the first thing responding engineers do? Open the CLI and troubleshoot. Those are your diagnostic checks. Collect, automate, capture the domain specific knowlegde and democratize it.
Some years ago I owned a Mercedes CLA which had Android auto controlled using the rotating joystick with push down to select. The experience was perfect. It was fast, could be handled without any distraction, never misbehaved and never detoriated over time. Now I drive a car with touchscreen ... it's bullshit but I guess it looks fancier.
The touchscreen also enables different engineering divisions to work in parallel, without waiting on one another. This drastically reduces development time. It is also cheaper to manufacture, more reliable as there are less moving parts, and reduces parts inventories at dealerships.
