> I disagree pretty strongly with this claim. Nine years ago we didn't have (or they were in their infancy): Rust, Go, TypeScript, GitLab, VSCode, Language Servers, American Fuzzy Lop, Linux distributions that work out of the box on most hardware, web "standards" that are actually standards, ... Of those I think the only one that he uses/likes is Go — although I don't know what "American Fuzzy Lop" is and I'm uncertain about LSP. He uses old hardware, intentionally unsafe languages, probably basic terminal editing, and dislikes modern web such that standardizing it is only standardizing nonsense. He even has or is deeply involved in more 'traditionsl' alternatives to many of these — namely Hare (rust/go/etc), Sourcehut (Gitlab), and Gopher (web). From his perspective, the changes to software that have occured are merely incremental changes to an existing pile of garbage
