We should have also been talking about "devops slop" since 2007! it's good enough we have heard this for how many decades?

ok so some people call it "brittle" it's 2026, what would impress were if people raised the issues and helped fixing them!

writing in another language, how much more complexity do you want to introducing :)

I believe bash scripts can be anything you want them to be, if they are useful to you then happy day's.

if you hit performance issues or want to experiment else where cool.

error handling in ruby is almost impossible

error handling in python is wildly hit and miss

error handling in golang is rather annoying

error handling in powershell, good luck you will need it

error handling in perl ok i'll stop now you probably get the picture.

I'd take consistent but annoying over pleasantly occasionally explosive

works for me on linux firefox, chrome and brave

"one of the greatest societies in the world" - erm lol dude...

America has always asserted its greatness, even through struggle and hardship. All countries, all peoples have dark chapters, we're no exception. We used to teach our own history, the good and bad. We used to rebel against tyrannical authority, against corporations, governments, kings and corrupt police. It's time we wake up and remember what actually made this country great, which has always been the people's right and willingness to assemble and fight.

There's only one way to stop this, protesting is fine but the only way to make the point is for each state or the whole of USA to go on strike! not just for one day but weeks / months! every working person that thinks this is deranged it's only the start.

If your government can go on strike for weeks and months, why can't the normal people?

Because we can’t print money

hope you are getting paid 50x more than 5 years ago

hope you are getting 50x more value

:) good luck you will need it :)

please give us $200 ;) but sorry we can't even get the title right!

- if governement is down does that mean citzans do not have to pay any taxes

- All US workers need to go on strike until you get a government that works for the whole population ;)

Some of the solution(s) have already been played out a few times, we humans use our imagination(s). Everything that has been built with computers was just an idea a few decades ago.

In the 80's there were a few slices of thoughts, why are you interested in computers? They won't go very far... or we don't know how to make money from them...

IT, Computing, the Internet has for the last 25-30 years been stuck thinking about shopping and billing.

The brute force statistical copy and paste we see today, it may or may not replace a large part of the internet systems, but there were always many other aspects of computing or the world that computers could be used for that have hardly been touched.

To any social media platform's (if any of them can really be called this) that are saying they can not or will not police their own platform's of dangerous content, really you will be held responsible!

Just because the big IT corp's might become blinded they will live in fear of being on the brink of extinction, if they replace the creative people or their customer's. To the CEO's and management sucking billion's/trillion's of dollars out of the market(s) this can't continue.

There has to be change(s) because we have boxed ourselves into weird position(s), i.e always chasing the cash cows.

We are not even at the start of what's possible, what "people" will/could create in the next 50 years, with the right levels of education and inspiration the computing world will most likely not be stopping or slowing down any time soon.
