You should try some good homemade lutefisk. No, not just lutefisk, that's like judging burgers by only eating the patty. Rather with all the accoutrements: fried bacon, pea stew, boiled cherry potatoes, and white sauce.

"GOG GALAXY is a long-lived product with a large and complex C++ codebase." Also known as a shitshow. Hopefully the new engineer(s) will be encouraged to at least add some tests and refactor things to stay sane.

No mention of a license, though. I guess it'll stay closed source.

Maybe it's time for some decently funded other organisation (not a teracorp) to take over Firefox specifically, then let Mozilla go its own way into the sunset. No idea how that could be arranged, though.

Techniques aren't culty, people are. I've been practising TDD for years, but I've only ever heard of this cult in web forums.

Anecdotal after using Wayland for the last few months:

  * The brightness control for my screen doesn't work with it.

Never been an issue on my Samsung laptop. I strongly suspect this depends on your hardware, but I'm not going to spend a week to prove it.

  * The mouse sometimes lags

Never happened outside of catastrophic load scenarios.

  * Graphical corruption in Chromium when on webgl sites.

Are you using Nvidia? I've had no major graphics glitches since using AMD.

  * Blank screen after resume from hibernate.

Never happened.

The last two aren't applicable, since if anything has been OOM killed recently I didn't notice, and I don't have a Chromecast.

Reading (OK, skimming) about this is a bit like a time machine. It's the kind of realization I expect people had in the early 2000s after fads like UML imploded massively. Is anyone taking architects like these seriously these days? Makes the article seem a bit like patting themselves on the back for not being bonkers.
