I don't use slack outside of work, so nothing from me. Just sayin' how people are so easily outraged w/o really thinking about their needs and technologies. I have no sympathy for those slack users either, cheers.

According to the analytics of number of message, those infrequent and long running slack channels and users probably can just use email. Outrage for outrage sake. #2020s

Right, but the spoken phrases and words are also divergent and overloaded already, making it not a good choice for a more uniform, simple to learn universal language.

That’s the wrong question/assumption to begin with and already doomed. If your goal is maximum financial payoff, it won’t be done with knowing any single programming language. Pick a product/industry first, then pick the mostly op

yes, apologies, I skipped ahead. Parsing: "There’s not very many instances where someone needs to parse sql" The only use cases would be building your own database/query optimizer and having SQL be the API. There are plenty o

One use case using trivy is in a CI/CD pipeline; fail container builds that have issues to begin with. Whereas container scanning in ECR, who knows when someone will actually fix the issue.

Totally agree - technologically possible. Now who’s ambition, will, and money are behind this to get those who are in the middle, don’t care, or need to look after themselves first in the ecosystem to get this done?
