- overengineered nonsense like visual studio and java
- hipstr.js, a new "framework" that uses 120% of your CPU to do nothing useful
- "cloud" computing, a return to 1960's remote-access services in lieu of personal computing, for the greater profit of software giants
- fisherprice "apps" the design of which assumes computer users are 3 years old
Today Apple with their "user-friendly" unprogrammable devices are king, enslaving people into believing that a "computer" is a gadget for wasting time on websites and not a means of computing things
If you don't buy new "devices" every year and contribute your share to world pollution, you're not cool. Even though we now have many gigahertz of CPU and many gigabytes of RAM, upgrades are considered proper etiquette.
When software lets you connect with customers when and where they want, that's business with .NET.
When objects fall back to the ground after they are thrown, that's business with gravity.
As they said in the olden days before this website was run over by spammers and racists, DISCUSS.
