Many places have abundant abandoned buildings and a strong counter culture. Very few have a Berlin Wall, I'll grant you, but the spark to set this off could come from elsewhere.

See comments below. You are talking about SF in the past ten years: I am talking about the next ten.

Esperanto, some would say, but others would then argue that you'll have a lot of trouble finding developers.

Perhaps, and yet, I feel like this page still does a particularly bad job of explaining what this thing is. Especially to an audience full of hardcore nerds.

Can you only use it for Smalltalk code though?

Is it just me or does it come off as super condescending? I feel that, if you can't explain to us concisely what the thing you've been working on for decades is about, that's a huge red flag. The most I can tell you after rea

Hold on, what's this about North Face? I thought German law required Helly Hansen jackets.

I for one would not complain.

Seems to me if the housing market continues to drop there, NIMBYs will get what they want: less demand for housing means less reason to build in their backyards. Or I guess maybe you were referring to the value of their houses drop, in whic

As much as this appeals to me, it doesn't seem feasible: the problem is that this road ends at the Harvard Bridge (so called because it isn't near Harvard, because Boston), which crosses the river into Boston. Close this off, and

Well I've sure been told. (I have not been told.)

Ah yes, because if there's one thing the left is famous for, it's its placid acceptance of the status quo. Idiot.

Come to think of it, I've personally seen what SF looks like after the money goes away--and this time it seems to be going a lot faster and to a much bigger degree.

Just swinging through here to let you know you're a coward. Have a bad day.

Today, yes. But see my reply to commenter above.

I'm talking about if current trends continue--specifically, capital continuing to flee SF.

It'll never be over--it's just Berlin will no longer be the capital of it. Actually would not be terribly surprised if the party moves to San Francisco next.

I was being facetious. It's kind of understandable if we're still bad at programming, we haven't been doing it for very long, just since WWII really.

I certainly would _like_ to believe that...I'm gonna have to think about this some.

It's a job security thing. Otherwise you deliver the perfect program and then there's no need for you anymore.

This is just simply not so, or at best, the odds of writing a nontrivial bug free program in any language are negligible. Also, we are talking specifically of C, C++, and Zig here. Three compiled languages among hundreds.
