Yea, that tracks. I just looked it up and AWS made ~130bn. Given how big AI is, and how those two are pretty much the only players (in comparison aws is 1/3 market share), that seems about right. It's a far cry from "nobody&#

There are astute comments about the post's tone elsewhere in this thread[0] But this killed my hopes for Zig. The drama is fun, and Andrew is maybe even admirable in his earnest, but this just isn't the kind of professionalism nee

I hate that these discussions go nowhere because there's no common metric anymore. I have no idea what stuff like "is it always perfect?" means because it varies so much from person to person. Too many people have different e

I just want to know how the avg. dev is using these things. I feel like it's a completely different world, and all the noise is from luddites, or spotify pushing 45000 deployments to prod per day. It's so far from the days of you

I will die on the hill that Java was a good language, and had the potential to leapfrog us from where we are by at least a decade. But it got hobbled by the awful, awful enterprise style culture, cultural misunderstanding of OOP (especially
