Yeah thats why I had to check if it was -that- dhh and didn’t share the article, even though he’s pretty much bang on in this case.

No, you’re thinking I’m at the low end of the bellcurve here. When you actually understand what the transformer is doing, you’d understand.

What you’re really doing here is showing yourself to be a mark.

lowcode environments are the O.G slop.

I’m not a slop jockey and I’m watching people plug these kinds of things into public data and having it do operations with financial/business impacts.

I’d rather employ a gremlin to write scripts.

I’m not willing to run something that risky on my own infrastructure, therefore I wont run it. I can do all of those things with a handful of scripts or Home Assistant anyway.

Curl does exactly one thing and it does it very well.

Systemd aspires to do all the things and does nothing very well.

I don’t remember anyone -asking- for systemd, I just remember being subjected to it at the time it started getting popular.

If systemd is the solution, I want my problem back.

its the default, its the default everywhere, nobody is changing that configuration because systemd is a massive blob of nonsense.

Why is it the default?

binlogs suck ass, you can’t convince me otherwise. Its slow and shite. Continue to suck.

It is exactly configured as default.

Oh look, someone arguing that their lived experience is different to my lived experience, therefore mine is wrong.

I mean… thats kinda what runit does.

I have. Never had your machine just sit there and refuse to boot because a network share is down? Or because the wifi isn’t connected yet? Or because its waiting on some nebulous thing until timeout…

Never had to crawl through journalctl to diagnose things and wanted to claw your own eyes out in frustration?

You are a fortunate person.

Its built antithetically to the unix principles, it uses binlogs, its slow and its a big ol’ bloated mess on low-memory embedded devices, and seemingly is creeping into the whole system.

Also the original author has since fucked off to microslop so I don’t care what he thinks or does.

It, as a project, also bent the fucking knee.

Ha. Eventually, the bottom will drop out the market as low-cost NPUs pick up the model running. A good enough open model will emerge and there wont be a market for a paid model.

We’re already kinda seeing it on the hardware side. Eventually it’ll all dissolve into the hardware like how MPEG2 decode hardware for DVDs was once upon a time an expensive addon accellerator card, but is now fractions of a square mm of gates laid out as part of a larger assembly within the silicon of your GPU.

Eventually the circus has to go away because the cost of tokens is too high - its literally cheaper to train software developers.

Also, the cost to business from having business-continuity-ending events is gonna eat some of these businesses.

I’m glad it smelled as suspect to someone else.

Its threads like this that make me glad that these people are running around making infinite work for me to be doing, fixing the messes these people are making.

Alas, noody wants to pay for the work to be done

The world is full of clowns and I don’t want to be in their circus any more
