I would much rather have the evolution of Amiga, OS/2 or BeOS, but it is as it is.

Security in general is hard. It starts on developers own machines, which programming languages get used, how dependencies are added to the projects, how testing is done, how code gets written, how inputs and current user roles get validated

The point was it being compared to Apple. Why not the vertical integration of Oracle Solaris servers, IBM vertical integration of IBM i, z/OS or z/TPF, Unisys vertical integration of Clearpath MCP or OS 2200?

Which many keep forgetting is that there was no one else wanting to acquire Sun, IBM did an offer that was shortly thereafter withdrawn, and that was it. Sun would have died, everything completely lost among creditors and that would be it,

Something that anyone doing distributed systems knows after a few scars, stateless servers are always better, and stateful only if there is no way around it. I learnt this with Sun RPC and the whole "The network is the computer".

Seniors are not welcomed by most companies, because we already seen all movies management pulls up employees to trick them "doing more with less". Ironically the same companies are more than willing to get the same seniors as high

Not everyone dreams to found the next unicorn, real life for most of us isn't the Silicon Valley TV series. Just like not every cook wants to be a Michelin star with molecular cuisine, a tiny food drop in the middle of a gigantic plate

Yes it would, when the only way is to press forward, eventually something has to improve.

Ah, the famous reality distortion field where industry terms get the meaning that suits Apple's marketing team and developer advocates.

I thought we had Fable for that now.

Usual note that after Plan 9, there was still Inferno, with Limbo fixing Alef's design mistakes.

Also there is a vibrant retrogaming community, with lots of games much more interesting than yet another COD or FIFA.

Mostly of the same basket and equally bad, on my experience, because usually it is some dude or gal, that rather be coding than doing interviews that gets dragged to question this guy that just dropped on reception for the interview.

I do understand that these are stupid ways to achieve that goal.

That is the thing, I don't expect them, other than for newly graduates without anything else to show their value for.

Another reason are SaaS and iPaaS SDKs having it as favoured stack, which kind of builds on your assertion.

It matters when you use an headless CMS from the MACH architecture enterprise culture, and they only support a specific SDK, which is mostly Next.js/React. - https://macharchitecture.com/ - https://www.sanit
