Hey you're right, I agree about problems coming from focusing on the wrong level of abstraction, and thanks for your clarity.
I was working on a project and had to install a file watcher for Node.js because the process inside Docker wasn't seeing the file changes from the IDE on the host for some reason, or using too much CPU, can't quite remember. I think it was called Watchman:
They use inotify when possible, but fall back to other methods, including full scan (recursive? bisect? can't remember the term) of the directory and file timestamps.
I hadn't put it together that it could be used to implement reactive programming. But I have made toy workflows with folder watchers using AppleScript on macOS.
For funding, maybe I could try Reddit or something. I'm realizing that many of my problems come from spending too much time in my own head and not keeping up with trends.
