Maybe I'm just from a culture that doesn't give much shit about honorifics. Or my tone is mocking. Disclaimer: I don't know Elon Musk, other than news articles, and geniunely don't care about him one way or the other.

My one big problem with the title and the way this blog about is that it assumes infinite scaling - in performance, correctness, size, security. What works on a small scale is ludicrous to work on a huge one. There is an assumption that you

The alternative is just as grim. I heard[1] that Excel went with the slogan "kill your dependencies" at least during Joel Spolsky's time. This ended with Excel team building and shipping their own C compiler. Imagine NIH so h

Heh. I still see they are using my localization library. Not much, but it does give me a small heart warming tug.

Assuming backwards compatibility. Ongoing maintenance burden. Ever increasing API, mistakes set in stone, subpar performance or properties. "Standard library is where libraries go to die." exists as a saying for reason.

Dunno. That's what one project I worked on called it. Forking code on GH, pulling as submodules and maintaining it (most repos were unmaintained for years).

A thing can be both a mistake from maintainance perspective, but a great boon from user perspective, or even a horrible kludge from power user perspective.

Also, hardware is rapidly approaching saturation point of the Moore's law. Software will have to adapt.

I love Lynch and Dune, but his Dune was a cult film but not a good adaption. I mean the cat milking scene is absolutely a wtf. Villeneuve version is the superior adaptation.
