They weren't "developers" more like a Jr intern asked to do some minor maintenance
The real work was done in the 80s/90s through a consortium of universities and corporations
Then one day, some nobody shows up and in their infinite wisdom decides: I know better than all the 100s of people before me.
And now we have to listen on and on about how this nobody was somehow a "major developer"
- Paianni 11mo agoThe work done in the 80s and 90s was for very different hardware than now, when accelerated graphics wasn't the norm. MS made that mandatory with Aero and then Windows 8 a long time ago, Apple's been at it for even longer. Wayland exists because, thanks to hardware innovations, there's a better way to do the job than what was possible in the 80s.
