@stefano back when I worked at a university, we had a backup server running an ancient customized version of Linux. Was not on the internet so we didn’t reboot it in over 5 years and we only did so to replace a hard drive.

I would extend the same concept to programming languages, but apparently, this is not a popular point of view. So, we now have a group of prime-time hypertrophic languages and frameworks with tons of new features (often not back-compatible) introduced at every release to cover the whole universe of applications and beyond (at least in the minds of the their teams).

Minimalism and consistency are not more of this world in ages.

I would probably not. Every one of them is better or worse at the same time. It just depends on where and why you apply it.

@gisgeek wholeheartedly agree with you. Btw that’s one of the reasons I stay out of frontend development. 😎

@stefano Great article. Unfortunately it is very hard to convince people to move from Linux to BSD. I often hear people saying that BSD is something they have heard about but they would never consider installing it. Simply because they don’t know it, but they know Linux. And why would they use something else instead, when hardware support is better and they get a system running a desktop environment out of the box? And when there is Docker and everything they think they need…

@doerk I always felt that it's orders of magnitude harder to bring folks from Windows to Linux than from Linux to BSD 🙂
