What? Which horrors of the 21st century are you thinking of when you say this?

Nice to see the performance improvements work.

Isn't so nice that the 1980-2000's distribution models are back, as there doesn't seem to be any other way to get folks to pay for tools?

It is either that, or a SaaS wall.

I had a good experience with DITA based tools when writing technical documentation a few years ago, and there are enough graphical tools for a Word like experience.

The biggest problem is that none of these projects actually go for the full stack, hardware, operating systems, programming languages, user software, cloud infra.

It is mostly a specific kind, and lasts one ruling period in most cases.

On my German city, the library used a SuSE based distro for the computers, eventually it got back into Windows, when they switched IT support company.

Like many things in this fashion industry, how else do you get new conference subjects, consulting gigs, books,...?

They also reinvented CORBA and DCOM, as MCP now supports gRPC as optional protocol.

The reason is that these "folks getting paid several hundred thousand dollars a year" are mostly youngsters without any care to learn about computing history, which is why IT is a fashion industry.

See HTMX as another example, that is basically ASP.NET Ajax or JSF Ajax.

If only they could ask for history lessons from an LLM!

(To your point...having knocked out CORBA and DCOM, perhaps we may next look forward to SOAP.)

I always have to smile that the whole microservices, isn't much different from "The network is the computer", Taligent, CORBA/DCOM, WebServices, SOA,.... with iPaaS products being another go at BPEL.

Maybe Microsoft should bring back Biztalk for agentic workflows.

Maybe Greenspun's Tenth Rule applies to anything "common".

We have those sandboxes already, it is called serverless, and those microservices are now extended with MCP endpoints metadata.

You can reach out to Revolut, they are based on UK.

Already checked. Uk revolut accounts can’t get wero

Sure, but why not use Revolut directly?

I do have a revolut card already. Revolut is visa based though. May as well stick to an Amex then. They’re both deeply ingrained in the US system

I am quite sure long sleeve Tee under a band t-shirt will eventually make a come back, given all the nostalgia wave from Gen Z, experiencing their grandfathers teenage years.
