I don't want rapid (rabid?) iteration, I want shit that works.
"The cloud" is little more than a hyped-up, glorified business objective; human beings shouldn't have to be connected to the hive mind to enjoy the full benefits of technology. Nothing smacks of SV-style elitism more than the proliferation of "the cloud"

Did you know over 3 billion devices run Java?
