I made over $500k TC writing active-active high availability services that moved billions of dollars a day. I've been around the block.

Why are you treating our primitive technology as holy? It's all temporary fucking garbage that is a limitation of our current civilizational abilities.

Do you think the Linux kernel will live forever? I think we'll be done with it before 2050. Seriously.

Everything you think is permanent is just temporary.

I would rather be building star ships and holodecks and engineering 10,000 year human lifespans, brain uploads, and stuff like that than worrying about the craftsmanship of some dumb web service.

I think you should dream more and worry about the current station of SWEs less. We're merely a stepping stone.

You and I are stepping stones. We're dust.

None of what we do today will be relevant in some short decades. And that is a blip on the geologic timescales.

I was born too early for this bullshit. I don't like living with you neanderthals, especially when you don't want to step out of the cave.

Thankfully I don't have to worry about this tech winning. It already is. You can keep up or hold your nose until you're out of a job. There are plenty of other things you could do, I just wouldn't bet on being a truck driver.
