> If it were about making a choice of which web framework to use on the server, obviously you wouldn't want to use Lua.

Wait just a minute, there exist many web frameworks in lua, and programmers who enjoy lua might want to use them.

Cloudfare got pretty far with nginx+luajit before switching to rust, iirc

That's too bad, because I prefer software which looks like it was made in 1999.

Ah, the magic times when screen resolutions were large enough to display lots of information, in proper 4:3 aspect ratio, just before they got flattened and the industry started treating them as short view distance TVs.

Look at how conveniently you chose to ignore the fan's age, attributing his behaviour to unwilling or luddite! Or do you really have absolutely no idea, what it means to be 81 years old? Still, I would bet you have met at least some people of such an age.

That’s the age of my Microsoft office, three computer having multiple printer using mother…

> US-stored gold is not of the same quality grade as in the rest of the world

... to put it mildly. Nobody has audited the gold in decades and even its owners (banks of foreign countries) are not allowed to inspect it.

what we’ve actually created is an alternative Linux desktop that uses neither X nor Wayland, this is very welcome news, since X is allegedly "abandonware" and of course not everybody likes wayland.

But what about that meeting that starts with "how do you feel today?" and "if you were a car, what car would you be? And why?".

Well obviously that’s an exception and must be allowed.

That is the whole point. Since decades, it has a single point of view, failing to represent the majority of the people.

I think you need to get out more if you really believe all movies have the one point of view

And what point of view does all art have now?

That smugness is the exact point of view we’re talking about

I'm confused what you mean by "single point of view" and "the majority of the people". Please elaborate.

It's your point of view.

Deming's point 3 (of 14): Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for massive inspection by building quality into the product in the first place.

> Senior leadership doesn’t know this, though.

Well, you'd think senior leadership should know how their business and their people work.

to be fair senior engineering leads in the software world are like Voltaire's joke about the holy roman empire, neither holy, roman or an empire.

Despite the name not a lot of seniority, leadership or engineering going around

LOL

It seems you wish for a system which would be able to stop Brexit against the will of the people.

Maybe a system where more than a simple majority in a single popular poll is required to make monumental policy decisions.
