@eniko But then the boss would have fewer people to manage, and be unable to justify his job. Most software changes are about employment for engineers, not necessity. Grr.
As a software engineer I want computer languages and frameworks that stay stable for decades rather than have a new release every year that obsoletes old programs and requires a rewrite. But I don't get to have that :(.

Hear hear!
I'm pretty tired of downloading some 100 MB every week for Signal desktop for minor changes. And did you see how the changelog in /usr/share/doc looks like for Signal-desktop on Linux each time ? Yeah, whatever, Signal! 🤬 #signal
@regendans No such problem with @delta fortunately.

@eniko Yes, please, still and forever. This is the phrasing I couldn't quite figure out.

@eniko Currently, my favourite app is Out-Run, and I think it's basically been abandoned by the developer.

(Yes, that's probably not great for security vulnerability reasons..

@eniko What you don’t add is genuinely more important than what you do.

@alice oh I'm so glad to hear you like them

@regendans @delta I just wish I knew more people in my social circles who either already use it or are willing to try it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the best way to run a software product company is for the entire management team to work one day a week, or month.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place so do i. what you're describing sounds a lot like the unix philosophy. (do one thing and do it well)
i'm in the same boat as a lot of windows users rn. i want to switch to BSD, but i need linux for video games

@eniko can we also request the coders to have a nap time during the day? Rest is important, and I'm not kidding about that either.

@eniko don't forget to add doesn't require an always on Internet connection.

@eniko I want small chunks of well-specified code with machine supported proofs so I can be certain of my program's actual behavior across its whole domain.
I should probably just learn Ada/SPARK or Idris already.

@eniko i'm working on it

@MeaningfulBits @eniko should be illegal to call it an "app" if it does.
Maybe call it a "shim" instead. -
