I can’t think of a single time where my backend was literally just a crud api over entities. These toys fall apart beyond a hello world app. No validation, no authorization, no aut…

The last few products from Sierra were a far cry from great. Kings Quest 8 was shambles.

I wonder how FPGAs handle cosmic radiation.
