I feel like we've done full circle. Languages are back to being (mostly) procedural. I'm not sure I like it, but it seems that this is what people prefer.

People don't understand the difference. They talk about preservation, without acknowledging that a PlayStation can refuse to play a disc if servers say so.
Highly doubt. Pace for merging requests have not improved and teams at MSFT are terrible at reviewing said PRs. Longer PRs and more frequent requests were clearly creating more friction.
- it's easier to keep going than to come back from a job.
- our industry is changing, heavily, and I have no idea what shape it'll be in in four years time.

I'm not very informed on SpaceX plans, but one thing I think people gloss over is how much maintenance a data center requires. Parts fail, computers get stuck on crash loops, etc. A space data center would need workers - computer people, not astronauts - and a constant supply of parts tob replace hardware. Whoever wrote this proposal doesn't understand neither space nor data centers.
Only read the title. Going by it: you could also kill me with a kitchen knife, your car, a bat (if you're fit), multiple types of poison, a homemade firebomb, etc.
I hope you're right, but I don't think you are. I think soon the AI will do it for us. We've not yet reached diminishing returns, no matter what contrarians are saying. Just compare using Claude code today vs last year.
