That reminds me of a relatively old twitter thread (that I can't find of course) about systems that have become operating systems and computers upon themselves.

That reminds me of a relatively old twitter thread (that I can't find of course) about systems that have become operating systems and computers upon themselves. It went something like this: Code used to be running on a processor, then it ran on an OS on a processor. Then it became on a runtime on an OS on a processor. Then it an abstraction layer was sandwiched in between. Then a filesystem. Then a compatibility layer. Then a database. Then a browser. Then we went and created a runtime in the browser to run code again. We have come full circle. This probably applies to SharePoint but also the real-time OS on your GPU, the MSSQL database which has its own OS facilities you can run stuff on. Add too many features and the application becomes the very thing we wanted to get away from...
