It’s funny that your questions all imply that this should be a „solved“ problem while you can’t even grasp the complexity of reliably serving arbitrary software

It’s funny that your questions all imply that this should be a „solved“ problem while you can’t even grasp the complexity of reliably serving arbitrary software applications to arbitrary consumers. All that „legacy burden“ isn’t so legacy and for every layer of abstraction that makes all of this look less complicated, many highly skilled people put in a lot of effort.
- aristofun 6y agoSure this thing can't be solved 100%, just as a problem of running consumer software. But still we have good enough desktop apps, that even a kid can setup and run. Nobody yet clarified what's the fundamental difference between those and apps running in the cloud. > many highly skilled people put in a lot of effort Without good "product" guys supervision they tend to get systems only other highly skilled people can comprehend, btw.
