"What if the exhaustion everybody feels isn't a moral failure but the completely rational response to being made responsible for an ecosystem of objects that never stop asking?"

"Nobody architected this. It accreted — one device, one app, one free trial at a time — into a system no competent engineer would have designed on purpose."
