I am a programmer that comes from a family of coal miners. They don't actually consider that constituency, its just a game to win a swing state.

Thank you for making this. I was genuinely considering a solution at this abstraction level for Megadrive / Sega development .

The author of the rust software did not solve the platform problem, as a result it is not a solution. Since it is not a solution, it should be reverted. It's really that simple.

Does everyone really just use vim? This one surprised me as a problem.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to respond.

“ IMO, languages and platforms that require IDEs, also leads to complex software that is hard to maintain. ”

The truth is that I (and probably other users) don’t always have the luxury of choice and a large portion of commercial codebases have a very large number of files. Sometimes, it is multiple codebases at once with a very large number of files .

“ Easily resolved by using apmd and it `-z` flag. I think there's a couple utility out there that you can script for monitoring battery level.”

Yeah but I don’t want to accidentally lose data if I shut the lid and accidentally forget to plug the thing in for a few days . “ One of the good strength of OpenBSD is that the cli utilities are quite nice”

I don’t want to enter and exit a cli tool in order to increase and decrease the volume . Ideally it’s a control in the top right or a keyboard mapping . What if something loud begins playing in a browser tab and I have to change the volume quickly?

There are a few nice to haves that would really help me out with making an open bsd transition. I thought of writing them myself because I am getting very fed up with Linux for the above reasons.

- IDE support is an issue still

- Filesystem challenging when using a laptop that runs out of battery

- MATE lacking volume and WiFi controls

- This one is just me being picky but a GUI to help me gain a better understanding of the security settings or alternatively more up to date books.

- I am not exactly sure on how to correctly use virtualization and I need it to support docker workloads at work

So, I was around back then and am around now as a principal and this comment doesn't really pass the reality sniff test.

Its a lot worse than this in terms of AWS cost for apps that often barely any people use. They're often incorrectly provisioned and the AWS bill ends up in the hundreds of thousands or millions and could have been a few thousand in bare metal on Hetzner with a competent sysadmnin team. No, its not harder to administer bare metal. No, its not less reliable. No, its not substantially harder to scale for most companies to do bare metal(large fortune 50 excluded).

I was doing web development in 2006 and that's not how it was. Websites were not all in i-frames and they were not all insecure. Setting up a PHP dynamic website with Apache does not have to be insecure and didn't have to be back then, either.

This is the reason. I logged in to basically say the same thing. I used to be this way, and give opinions, but you cause problems over time that ends up with you getting disciplined in subtle ways or fired.

Hi Sculpt team, I have been watching this project for a long time. I have tried the OS on my MNT Reform. I had some confusions about how to navigate and set specific options . I was thinking a similar interface to a traditional desktop could be helpful in wrapping my head around the features . However, I did not want to impose on your vision if the Sculpt team felt strongly about their current interface. What are your thoughts ?

This is anecdotal, but I have been in the industry > 10 years now and worked for a lot of employers. What they have required of me for the frontend has pretty much been the same more or less throughout. But recently, with the large amount of funding, companies have had a large blow up in payroll and a talent shortage. The talent shortage has resulted in some juniors getting hired that would not have gotten hired during the great recession. These juniors, on average, need to know a lot more now than back then due to the complex stack. This has resulted in a lot of breadth of knowledge but not a lot of depth. Over time , large teams of inexperienced people have turned what could be a simple frontend created by 1-2 developers in a large 15 developer behemoth that is difficult to maintain and keep secure. It is difficult to reason about for most newer developers so a lot of the time is spent handling edge case bugs instead of getting the job done. Usually their needs really aren't different. It's often just an intranet app or b2b. These don't have scaling needs and you can create reactive asynchronous websites without the complexity here and without reinventing the wheel. Sometimes, the complexity introduced by this complex stack is required (i.e. the app being created is complex). Everyone thinks their app is complex. It almost always is not complex, at least on the frontend, and it could have shipped earlier and with less bugs if the complex stack was not introduced.

This comment is arrogant and objectively isn't correct.

I agree with the post. My first computer had worse specs than this and was a perfectly usable experience. I actually used it to edit videos. It had 128mb RAM and shipped with Windows 98.
