i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

@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. -

@eniko I can switch on a BBC micro and load View in less time than I can wake my Windows 11 laptop and load MS Word. Seems that the faster computers become; the longer it takes to do the same things with them.

@eniko +9001%
I want smaller, auditable, reproduceable and simple systems! -
@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 I miss the days where getting an update was like christmas. Now I mumble to myself 'what did you mess up this time..'

@eniko And fewer applications. Today I learned that Ubuntu now has Snapshot, as well as screenshot but that Snapshot shows up as Camera, though it didn't when it was called Cheese. This happened 2 years ago.

@eniko Agreed! Updates are becoming an annoyance, like a swarm of gnats.

@eniko looks like copying being the highest form of flattery is also possible in the fediverse https://donotsta.re/objects/67cb9b8d-ff23-4e10-8af3-f26ec1c50ac3

@pouncy_panda eh, that one's a bit different from mine so i wouldn't jump to conclusions
though even if someone copied it verbatim, in this case i'd probably just be happy to see this thought spreading further

@eniko God my poor server (a laptop in a closet) would probably just explode if I made a post with that much engagement.
(well except the paid part)
