No idea, but I'm a simple man. I see "demoscene," I upvote.

Bingo. You can know a specific technology inside and out, but easily get lost in a large system built in that technology if you haven't worked with it before.

It's very easy to get caught in assumptions like, "Nobody would ever do things THIS way, so they must have built it THAT way," only to find out that, once upon a time, THIS way was the right way to do things, only for it to over time become less and less optimal, but the costs of changing things were too high to fix it. Once your system is old enough and large enough, you'll have several thousand things just like that.

You might be right; the person you're replying to might have zero idea.

Now me... I know someone personally who was a senior exec for Twitter's software team, who left after Elon's purge.

He left because all the people who understood the system and could predict the side effects were fired or left. He'd been with companies going through death spirals before, and had no interest in being involved with another one.

So, while the person you're replying to might not know, my friend DOES know.

Lisp did this decades ago.

I definitely do not miss the expense of film.

Yeah. The clickbait title suggests that big data tools themselves are going away; the actual contents are that the needless hype for their companies, folded into their sales pitches, is going away.

Oh, nonsense. People buy Atlassisn because the licensing is cheap, not because it's particularly good at what it does or designed with any particular workflow in mind.
