I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear you rewrote your http endpoints to return JSON because that was REST.

I hear you rewrote your http endpoints to return templated html fragments because that was HATEOAS.

- bjconlan 3y agoHaha, software has more seasons than the fashion industry. If you observe it for long enough everything seems somewhat derivative. But I wouldnt want it any other way. All diversions are welcomed within the choices of those working within the choices of those before us.

- norwalkbear 3y agoI suspect VC distorts value in tech choices. I'm pitching a mobile app built in Unity and a custom ruby backend on digital ocean. They questioned my tech choices on a working app! Apparently if you want VC money you must use their approved tech stacks.
- pragma_x 3y ago> I suspect VC distorts value in tech choices. I agree. I think what we're seeing is investment risk assessment as a proxy for a deep understanding in technology. After all, if you don't know how anything works, all you can do is look to what _has_ worked for you and other investors in the past. I'm guessing here, but it's plausible that once a given stack has proven to make money, the fix is in. It wouldn't matter if it's the best choice out there or not. The track record itself makes it more attractive. Example: Ruby on Rails.

- ElectricalUnion 3y agoIs this supposed to be Rockstar? The reference Rockstar Satriani interpreter barfs on this input.
- jddj 3y agoNo, honestly I've never heard of satriani. But I do appreciate that you tried to parse it. It's some lyrics from an LCD Soundsystem track with some topical snark mixed in
