This is so true, I think a lot of the hype conveniently leaves out the fact that there are many low- or no-code solutions which are quite succesful in their niches (like complex form builders forgoverment tax forms, insurance etc).
Probabbly don't really know what I am talking about, since only ever used async IO through boost.asio:
Isn't it a bit crazy that there are so many different ways of doing async IO on linux alone ? You would think that this is a more or less solved problem by now.
I remember seeing several videos from different companies with their own version of a "pizza robot". Just look at this ad for a pizza vending machine from 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyrav_9Pbsc
