I have a hunch that once people saw the economic potential of software, they started looking for ways to “scale it up” and we haven’t stopped searching yet.
I had an idea once that everything should have a TLDR. Even books.
If it’s 500 pages it should have a 5 page TLDR. And the TLDR should have a 0.5 page TLDR, ie the blurb. And that TLDR should have another TLDR 1% as long - ie the title/subtitle.
And you read them in that order, shortest to longest, and stop reading when you have enough detail.

Now that could even be automated with an AI that produces TL;DR from given post/article. Would be cool to have a bot here on Lemmy that comments TL;DRs and sticky them
That’s a great idea. Isn’t there a bot on reddit that does exactly that?
Not that I heard of, it’s fairly new tool
