That’s a pretty limited and limiting statement. That you could also apply to all other kind of craft (music, painting, sculpture, woodworking, building, etc.): you _could_ understand it of having a limited set of tools, techniques and vocab

Commercial doesn't mean that it's for mass audiences, it just means that it sells, or that people buy. Small or large or mass audience targeting (or not targeting) is an adjacent matter to making commerce or not. Commerce is at ro

Perhaps not relevant to you. But this reads a lot like where I've been a few years ago. 21y in IT/software engineering/infra. And I've not figured it out yet. My take: Most of software today feels like it's been fig

See, that's the fundamental hubris/weakness of the "Silicon Valley current ethos" (well, most tech ethos today) taken to the extreme: taking the human out of the loop. Then who/what does it actually serve? (or maybe

You do want that. But with proper (actual) procedures in place. The opposite of that is, you do not have a way of recourse, ever. Even states have some.

None. There are way too many tools that now rely on a forced login/auth/id as a control/lock-in/pseudo-secure mechanism whereas it is not required by the actual task at hand. For some tasks, it is needed. For a huge amou

This. Scrum is not adequate for this. What we used to do (while growing the SRE team from ~8 to 30) was having dedicated teams on specific projects. Each had their own scheduling system as they saw fit. AND a weekly rotating support duty wh

Indeed. Religion or not is often not the issue. Self-criticism, humility, ability to take a step back on one's own belief system with its intrinsic limits and issues are. Which is often harder for fundamentalists, whatever their base i

Counter examples also abound in history books. And day-to-day life. Edit: what OP may have wanted to say is that « following a religion is a make-believe that also makes you believe what you do is good ». Which is not much more reassuring e

Vinyl (and somehow, though smaller, the cassette and CD) is the physical, analog, tangible artefact of music: you can hold it, you can smell it, you can look at it - and the size of the jacket entices artists to « say » something with it. I

That’s a very anthropocentric, exceptionalist take. Earth is as much a graveyard as it is a womb and a home and a paradise. It’s frail compared to what’s outside of it. But it has quite a record (the only one known so far) of making life po

It's peculiar. Some people sometimes kind of resent those that saw their weakness, responded to it and helped them. Misplaced pride? Or lack of self-awareness and acceptation of their shortcomings? Guilt that builds upon itself (where

Upvoting because the question, while looking dumb, is very legitimate, if only for some of the answers it calls for. And that’s what makes good questions.

Exactly. No one is an island. The supporting network around you also plays a significant part.

« provenance » would be a more accurate name than « supply », as it englobes both software that’s actually supplied, and software available « as is » that’s being picked up.

Partner with someone who already has a leg or very obvious affinity in it. Don’t do everything by yourself. That’s rule number 1 in life, in general, for everything: invite guests to bring something they like/manage to the table.
