The user experience of Linux fundamentally has not changed in 25 years. Apple has had a decent shot, but their desktop seems to be rotting. Linux had a chance with alternative looking desktops, but was dragged back to the same old same old.

This is just pure hyperbole. The modular system of javascript is designed explicitly to ensure features can be made when needed. And I'm not sure where you breathlessly pulled 5GB of modules from, to write "Hello World" but I

I think this is quite unfair to Enterprise development. There are several business reasons to not use off the shelf scripts or libraries, namely licensing, governance, security, and support, all of which add perpetual costs and further 3rd

From my experience complexity often hides hidden and undocumented requirements, which will only become apparent after the complexity is removed. However, I've also seen simple pages that are line by line copies of tutorials for whole s

I had a spectrum, and found a comic shop that had old 80s computer magazines that taught assembler. I also found a z80 compiler via obscure pen pals via small ads in the games magazines. Edge of the seat stuff, but the feeling of accomplish

Same old American rhetoric. "Oh, the chinese are only good at copying. They can never create". Yawn.
