Fair enough. A little warning would go a long way though.

hum, well, not that convincing :

Failed to open window: WebGPU context not initialized. Was Platform::run() called?

Not being able to load the component gallery does not inspire great confidence.

Indeed. It was, sadly, more important than popular. Which, to my eyes, comfort the generated content theory.

The solution is simple : https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/artcl/I+want+to+...

Because you'll be stonewalled by devs because they can't really changer decisions made bu higher ups.

Edit: I'd sign it, but don't want manage and diffuse it.

Well, I don't how it is these days, but it hasn't always been describable as "Healthy".

I don't think you can sell at loss in Europe (not sure, happy to be corrected), so might be small but it'll still be positive. The bet is it will be high enough to be a deterrent. The other bet is that at some point the rest of the world will push back being a corporate dumpster.

I find the emphasis on micro-service distracting.

I get that it is particularly valuable in that scenario by treating other services as "external API", but monolith also do call "external API" and delegate work to async tasks. The principles discussed here API are interesting beyond just micro-services while being lighter and simpler than Durable Execution.

Don't bother. Moz management don't give a shit and haven't been giving a shit for a LONG time. It's like the f*cking magas, the more you tell them no, the more they double down ...

And said emulator was opensourced and tested by third parties, right ?

Until it's so, it's just hearsay to me by someone having a multi-billion horse in the race.
