@eniko and at the same time, companies hire people who prefer AI, f̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶agile; or as the saying goes, seniors with salary of a junior

@eniko bring back rating code by size.

The general rule of thumb seems to be: The further you go back in time, the better the products, be they online or offline.
All courtesy of the fucked-up neoliberal capitalism that's festering across the whole world.

@eniko Preach. I want developers to be artisans and craftspeople who build for the ages.

@eniko As a matter of fact I want this to be the de facto approach to how we make new things but sometimes when I say this people think I mean stuff like woodworking and blacksmithing which, yes, but also computers, and phones, and bicycles electric and acoustic, and everything else.
I want *everything* to be made by people who have cause to take pride in their work.

I like small programs and I cannot lie. -

@datarama @daviddoes @eniko But don't you want the "better" experience

@eniko Agreed.

@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 :(.

@eniko I also want the updates to spend more time in UAT/Staging instead of being pushed straight into production.

@datarama @daviddoes @eniko I do not only want my toaster to be part of a botnet, I want my toaster to not have electronics AT ALL.
There is no reason for my fridge, toaster or oven to have a microcontroller. Really, we've been doing these things a century and today we seem to default to adding microcontrollers to everything.

@eniko
isnt þe unix philosophy "every program should do one job and do it well"? can we just make þat law? i would love a world where every program solved / did one þing i wanted and nþn else. -
@bencourtice @eniko
I still call programs for desktop use programs. "App" for me is a word for mobile device programs.
