I think it's time for a big move towards immutable databases that weren't even mentioned in this article. I've already worked with Datomic and immudb: Datomic is very good, but extremely complex and exotic, difficult learning curve to achieve perfect tuning. immudb is definitely not ready for production and starts having problems with mere hundreds of thousands of records. There's nothing too serious yet.
Even though I read so many posts criticizing PGP, it's still difficult for me to find an alternative. He states in the article that being a "Swiss Army Knife" is bad. I understand the argument, but this is precisely what makes GPG so powerful. The scheme of public keys, private keys, revoke, embedded WOT, files, texts, everything. They urgently need to make a "modern version" of GPG. He needs a replacement, otherwise he'll just be whining.
