      As we come into 2020, I am now pretty sure I picked the wrong career. If I had known what computers were going to become, I probably wouldn't have wanted to be a programmer. It is definitely no longer a career for people who take pride in their work.

      What would you do as a career instead?

      Either something where you can take pride in your work, like traditional artisan (maybe furniture or woodworking?), or something where your job has some way to inflict vengeance, like a lawyer.

      Carpenters can take pride in their work even while IKEA exists. What’s different about programming?

      What's different is that a carpenter can make a good piece of furniture and sell it. A programmer cannot make a good program, because in order to sell it, at a minimum it must run on an operating system that does not actually work, on hardware that doesn't work either.

      For example, it is not possible for me to ship a game to a consumer and have it not, for example, randomly stop in the middle of them playing it for Windows to put up a message that their OS needs to update. Period. End of story.

      The analogy to a carpenter would be if they could only build their, you know, chair on top of legs sold by IKEA that broke the minute you sat on it.

      The same is true for websites. It's not actually possible to build a "good" website. The possibility is precluded by the absolute disaster of a platform on top of which you must run.

      My assumptions when I was little about what would happen to software was that it would become _more_ reliable over time. Instead it did the opposite, and everything is now more or less continually in a state of semi non-functioning, with no way for anyone to fix it.

      And really, the IKEA analogy isn't even complete. It's much worse than just having to build a chair on top of IKEA-quality legs. It is more like if IKEA had the ability to come put on _even worse_ legs any time they wanted, so you didn't even know how bad the chair might get!

      Maybe when you build the chair you were able to work around the super shitty legs, but then IKEA goes and "updates" the chair legs to be even shittier, or to just not be there at all, and then your poor customer tries to sit down one day and suddenly falls on the floor.

          Not to mention that in the IKEA analogy, the real IKEA legs are indeed pretty good. While in today software the best thing is absolute shit.

          #urbit is a reaction against this trend. You might like it; I certainly take pride in most of the Urbit code I write. We haven't solved the layers below Urbit, but we at least only depend on them in a fungible manner -- we treat Linux or MacOS sort of like a BIOS.

          From a purely customer perspective, are there really that many ways that windows/oses and web browsers have gotten worse? Have you used msdos? Windows 3.1? Windows 95? 2000? Xp? Can you find me anybody who honestly wants to go back to those platforms?

          Sounds like you have a Windows problem. Who's forcing you to use Windows?

          As a carpenter son that is studying abroad as a software development, this is making me come up with some funky, scary, lucid dream situation that would happen in my life 😅😆. My dad's probably rolling in his grave at the though of that 😄

          clearly the solution is to ship games on top of unikernels
