I remember Google+ had groups called "circles" which could be used to choose with whom you share a post; it is a very common sense feature which I haven't seen since. And your reason 1 is a good explanation why.

Indeed! I went back just to mention it owes its incredible UX to the transient package, I am going to look up more uses for it. Do recommend more if you can, please!

I think Emacs still does all of this; the argument the author makes is that it is "arcane", it just uses conventions he is not used to. It is however fully self-documented and interactive. For me the best textual interface I'

Datomic Pro doesn't need AWS, I don't see what complications it can cause. It has some helpers for running it in AWS (like a bucket to export to CloudWatch), but none of them are mandatory. And if your use case is small you can ru

I cannot help but think products like DB2 and AS/400 (i Series/IBM i) are intentionally not promoted by IBM - they concentrate all marketing resources onto the next hype and view these reliable workhorses as a burden.
