What you say works 100% for trivial CRUD applications. Which is also, where SCRUM is still a bad framework, but at least SCRUM works on this trivial level of software development. …

There are only relative few startups or non startups which need complex infrastructure from a technical point of view... In reality, there is a strong bias in favor of complex clou…

Sorry, you lost me there. I am CS and literally every single one colleague in IT with an electrical engineering background where subpar compared to CS students. (Of course I don't …

Another vote for KDE3 as the best Linux desktop environment. I forgot how it was called, but one could easily automate the whole desktop back then via scripts and an interface to t…

I used MermaidJS for diagrams in one of my projects. Initially it was fun, although MermaidJS lacked support for the diagram types I used at that time. What stooped to be fun, is t…

Thank you very much for insights and elaboration! I am not too very happy that we need at least CSS/HTML/Javascript (ok, HTMX...) for web applications and would love to have a simp…

Hi Jeremy, congratulations for the launch and the website looks very nice indeed. I am honestly mostly interested in your reason, to mix HTML/CSS generation into the Python code. D…

Thanks for the inside story. Let me elaborate: Scala failed hard in the sense, that it was IMHO a far superior language compared to Java around 2010 (! JDK 7/8 times) and basically…

IMHO the keyword is 'microservice': Compile times of 30sec for a microservice are not acceptable for me, btw. The projects I am referring to were bigger, and the time to compile/op…

Nice writeup, the IT industry is fashion driven for at least 2 decades now, and in the echo chamber of the internet bullshit like 'exceptions == bad' are repeated w/o any real worl…

Sorry, but Odersky is nothing like Wirth. Scala failed hard because it is kitchen sink of every half baked feature someone wanted to write a PhD thesis about. The graphs of the int…

I am not a big fan of Linux and it has its share of problems, but your comment just shows severly misunderstandings. 1.) Linux is rock stable as a server/embedded os, given the rig…
