It seems to me that you skipped some essential steps before getting that CTO role. Punching down instead of trying to understand diverse perspectives is not a good look.

Maybe a bit cheesy, but I really liked this dialogue from a movie called Mr Holmes: It's us, on this side, who are, all of us so... Alone? I have been alone... all my life. But with the compensations of the intellect. - And is that enough? - It can be. 1/2

Also, I don't think the tab sprawl is really an issue for me, just an artifact of how I use the internet.

Ummmm, no thank you :) Reading a wall of AI-generated text is deeply unappealing to me. The human touch from those articles is really important and, if I discard that by passing them through AI, then my information retention goes through the floor.

But that wouldn’t really help me… I’d either just pin all of them by default or get frustrated that I lost the breadcrumbs I left for myself. Some of that does get stale after a while, but, oh well…

They're spread across about 100 windows. Most of them are minimised. The rest I can cycle through using the keyboard, since that's the stuff I should go through ASAP. Also, the tab search feature comes in handy. Browsers are pretty great at unloading tabs from memory, so they don't hog resources.
