Jonathan Blow on Twitter: "This is another example of the trends I highlighted in https://t.co/p55TSCqybO ... (a) Avoiding a way of programming, resulting in the loss of capability to do that thing. (b) Explaining away the loss of capability as "we are choosing not to do X, because Y is obviously better"."

  (c) Having to rewrite entire programs in different programming languages, just because the platform changed, a.k.a. regressing back to the 1950s in terms of software portability.

  Great lecture. Agree with everything and especially agree with LSP. An over engineered solution to a non-existent problem. It's bad enough an idea in the context of VSCode (for which it was created) but trying to shoehorn it into VIM etc. is just madness. Waste of time.

  Really liked the talk, I was very much reminded of Joseph Tainter's work on the Collapse of Complex Civilizations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0R09YzyuCI … With so many tools for connecting people available today, what could we be doing to better facilitate generational knowledge transfer?
