Ofc, git is distributed, so someone should have a copy of the repo, even if it's not updated.

Edit: disregard post, apparently it's just moved to the personal account.

Green sources are becoming more and more cost effective because of lots of tax money went into them because people care about the environment.

Eventually there shall be plenty of more green alternatives that are more economically interesting than coal, but they only reached that place in refinement because environmental focused measures took place.

An e-ink is enough to program on emacs all day, but color highlights is a missing feature.

Maybe when patents expire, the tech will improve faster allowing for acessible color ones.

Exactly. Odds.

Both Fortune and misfortune can happen in the middle. This doesn't mean to stop practicing/learning/improving, it's just life. Be aware of these things, and look for opportunities. Also, remenber that because of this, some very skillful person might be underperforming just because of a bad day, be nice to them.

What a work culture.

That data you are talking about does need to be debugged, like Helm charts and pipeline definitions. Sure data is better, but config is code, not data.

Emacs is configured using Lisp. Because of that it is amazingly configurable. XMonad uses Haskell, which gives types to avoid lots of error cases.

The thing is providing an actually programming language doesn't remove anything specially if the same config can be written as cleanly.

And you would avoid "YAML templates for creating YAML", when you actually need to process some data (even if it's just for pre/suffix creation in names). Secrets retrieval is another thing that you also need to do and template.

Also, YAML is a terrible to parse language, with can give out weird error cases. Other languages compilers/interpreters are more mature.

And ofc, if you provide SDKs for your IaC tool, you should be able to use the language that your developers are more familiar with. Taking advantage of the good practices their are used to. Don't limit with "declarative languages". Use a programing language that make more sense, and leave data languages for data.

General purpose programing languages are getting more expressive by the day, why do we use data serialization languages instead for configs? it doesn't make any sense.

Configuration is code not data.

What actually stopped wide-spread music piracy, was easy to use legal solutions like Spotify.

It's as Gabe Newel said, to fight piracy, just provide a better service.

But that is extremely important for a messaging app.

It's irrelevant how secure it is if nobody is using it. Unless you are into just talking to yourself.

Signal keeps on upgrading its security feature as well, they are not being left behind, and until quite recently, they didn't really had enough devs.
