Thank you for your reply! I feel very special when I get a reply from you.

The most fascinating and terrifying thing about the Waymos is how fast you get used to them. It's like living in the future but you're already bored.
Great writing!
Thank you, I don't know what is good about it though 👀

What makes it so enjoyable for me; It reads as an authentic, personal flow of thoughts. It explores the everyday and finds meaning in the mundane (kinda like Keroauc). The Waymo’s confusion amidst construction pylons and workers creates quite a vivid, almost cinematic, scene. The emotions of worry, guilt, amusement are genuine, imperfect, and real. And its almost a meditation on control, technology, and responsibility - big ideas made personal. Now I'm no expert... (thats Sensei) but you did ask the question...

At least with software, I can tell when there's a bug because something isn't working as expected for everyone, but I can't tell if my writing means something to my readers like it does to me, especially since it sometimes doesn't even mean anything to me after a while.
edit:
especially since it sometimes doesn't even mean anything to me after a while.
Mhh, the last part is not entirely true, I am ignoring something there.
I think I need to spend more time thinking about this comparison between software and writing before I can write about it. What I wrote already feels meaningless to me, haha

Nice to see you!
