I have BBEdit, Reeder, OhMyZsh. What else do I need in order to actually do my work? It doesn’t make sense to have a new app for Django development since there

It doesn’t make sense to have a new app for Django development since there’s so much stuff that happens “under the hood”.
Is this ecosystem stagnant or mature?

- mark_l_watson 5y agoI use to write about what I think is a similar idea to yours: imagine a time 500 years in the future when most software has been frozen in a secure and feature rich state. Cyber and other criminal attacks on digital life infrastructure has become so bad that both people and the few international corporate cartels that rule the planet prefer using software that has hundreds of years of security audits, attack surface simulations, etc. The only bits that are changing are data: new books and movies, data driving metaverse style AR and VR, etc. Is this possible? If I remember back to the 1980s when much of my works was done with Emacs, Makefiles, Common Lisp, and C/C++, then I can imagine a world today where I would still get paid to just use those tools, these tools were only used to produce non-executable digital content, but we had fresh digital entertainment always available. Can this all be extrapolated out to 500 years in the future? I could live with it if everything was secure, efficient, and inexpensive.
