Yeah, after the two comments from you I re-read it and finally got the punch line :)

It's a good advice but it has a cost. Where is the discussion about cost? The product with less dependencies will live longer and give you better flexibility but it will cost more to build and more to maintain (incl. onboarding new eng

And I would assume this trust comes, partly, from a 25k EUR "real business" bar.

Poor translation maybe too? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31456645 , "with no concerns about security" sounds quite different from "don't have to worry about security".

Yes, but that’s for dependencies, not for using the software. E.g. not developing a proprietary compiler on top of GCC but should be no problem running MongoDB as a user. The use-case in the talk is the latter one, where users don’t fall un

Arena/buffer-based allocation is also used to avoid an OOM at runtime not due to the lack of memory per se but due to fragmentation.

Pros often use commercially licensed IDEs like Keil or IAR Workbench and a bunch of other tools that only run on Windows (no matter how much they dislike Windows personally). Setting up a toolchain from scratch sounds like what hackers (i.e

Maybe "throwaway notes" is the part that makes a difference. After I finish a notebook, I usually sit down and fill out the table of contents for which I normally allocate 2 or 4 pages at the beginning, because I will refer to tho

I don't think it's an accident. I think manufacturers pressured the body to ensure they can always claim compatibility with the latest standard. For that purpose, version number became irrelevant and the profile name ("Gen 2&

Right! Sorry, I didn't write it clearly but I agree that there should be automatic disconnect, but think it's OK to have 4 separate disconnects to maintain the supply redundancy. Though now it can get really expensive.
