Yeah, well, that's just, like...

Time to optimize your software stack. Stop using slow interpreted languages & bloated "scaling" setups in favour of tightly integrated natively compiled systems.

Where else could they store their serialized PHP data structures? (just kidding)

Oh well, AI bros ruined it. I'm actually glad in some twisted way, because if more projects follow suit and close their development, it will again become an actual badge of honor to get on those teams. Having contributed to such projects will mean something.

No. From your tone it sounds like it's probably not as easy as you'd like. I don't really have a response to that. System customization is not something I'm interested in.

Does a 4 word prompt count? If so then I'm joining the effort right now.

I'm all for integration of system services if it helps bring a more cohesive OS. Interchangeability is a nice thing when building a system but I don't need it as a user.

More like "Designed by Apple in California, then copied as a cheap knockoff, never to be touched by a serious designer again".

It is vibe coded with a very good prompt.

Maybe it should say "designed in Zig" because most of the work & thinking was done using that language. The rewrite has no such history.

I'm aware of those platforms and have used them in the past. The tendency towards libraries is what bugs me. My preference would be a "Djan-go" framework, with the models, migrations, auto-admin, views, routing, caching, templates, all rolled into one cohesive framework that works out of the box. I don't want to make choices. I want to install it and start working.

I'm still on the lookout for a comprehensive Django-like web framework for go. That would be an instant hit for me.

Similar situation with Apple's Xcode Cloud.

Taken to an extreme, what's stopping us from going back to C? The security issues will be found and resolved, performance will be great and it will compile on all platforms that ever existed.

Maybe it's just because I'm more of a SwiftUI person, but in the example on the homepage, the event == 'Cancel' condition seems like a strange and fragile way to check if a certain button was pressed...

How many UI migrations has Photoshop gone through over the years?

The final three paragraphs really struck a chord with me. Nicely said. Thanks!

Agreed, this approach feels like folks at Microsoft still feel they have enough karma to burn. It's way past that.
