Easy is the wrong metric. It is easy to not scoop your dogs poop when you take him on a walk. It is easy to drop your trash on the ground and not take it to a can... Easy is a BAD METRIC.
Python is one of the problems. your code + Runtime + random libs + venv. thats a lot of nonsense that could be a binary blob. Part of this is the fault of python (or js, or ruby or...) a lot of it is on us as software devs.
And micro services had a hand in this... Your N services dont run on N*X pieces of hardware. They run on far less and end up on virtual networks taking to each other over https when they could be using direct communication. It's even more laughable if they go out to a load balancer first.
Software packaging and delivery is a problem. We should figure out a few good ways to fix that.
- psd1 3y agoYou've conflated "easy" with "littering". The easiness of littering is an argument for littering, not against easiness.

- jrm4 3y agoEasy is the correct metric if, like me, you believe the solutions to our major problems in the software space involve not "trying to get the few companies to behave better," but "trying to get MORE PEOPLE to understand -- and put in practice -- that this doesn't have to be in the hands of a few companies."
