this is great news. b/c it means there's still (after how many yrs?) huge opportunity. think different.

code something simple (=terse) that follows common sense and just works and it's an island of consistent speed and reliability in a sea of crap and bloatware.

we need more djb-like coders, who do not mimick 1000's of other coding monkeys.

mcillroy said the hero is he who writes negative code. he's right. the world needs less not more code.

if you can't handle that, then you're just contributing to keeping the "state of the art" terrible. but then people just keep paying for this crap so that's why it won't disappear. the idiots are rewarded for their "productivity" in producing saleable crapware.

carry on.
