Uhh yeah alright. If you read my tweet, I'm not saying competition is bad. What I think is bad is this notion of particular technologies being the definitive answer. If that had ever been true, we'd still be using punching cards.
I don't like it when people say a particular technology "has won". - Are we competing? - Now that something "has won" do we stop improving in the field? Why can't we talk about a technology "doing well", without trying to clear the field as if there's only 1 answer. Ugh.

I don't like it either, because it wrongly assumes there is a commonly agreed zero-sum game with rules and goals. The problem is that some tech optimize for different goals. E.g. some optimize for popularity, others for type-safety, etc.

And then again there are things that shouldn't be measured as goals. For instance art.

Time to throw in the towel I guess
Why would anyone want to write those articles, takes a lot of arrogance to make such bold claims about tech 
Not to mention, how ridiculously unhealthy it is for the industry.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
