...experienced up-close-and-personal. I've only heard bad things about it, but this is the first time I got poettered1 trying to troubleshoot something on a customer's system. It turns out others are complaining about it too:
Some fuckface decided that truncating the output and hiding useful information, adding extra code to deliberately do that and invoke an external program, was somehow "better" than just writing the full output and letting the terminal/pipeline/etc. handle the rest. I'll pipe the output if I need to. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!
1 poetter; poettering; poettered: a gigantic fuck-up.

>>8 corporations are absolutely clueless about software. that's why ETNERPRISE is such a meme (sure, it's about in-house software, but why would they know better when it comes to shrinkwrap or FOSS?)
I think there should be a new more modern initsystem with little to no feature creep. That's not to say SysVInit is bad, but it's just that you can't go forward if you stick to the same old thing for decades. SystemD is aids, however.

>>15 in-house internal software also has their bakcing and monetary support. it's still shit.
>>17 there exist init systems that are neither sysv nor systemd. like alpine's rc.

>>10 Typical large corporation is a shareholder owned entity, that is controlled by some random CEO. Both shareholder and CEOs know near zero about software development, therefore they approve similar managers, who probably know even less. Usually these managers care only about imitation of progress, lying to clients, pleasing shareholders and keeping their high-paid jobs, until money run out.

>>22 what does it change? they don't know shit about software so they don't know why their in-house software is shit and they don't know why shrinkwrap or FOSS they use is shit. there's a long history of corporations buying software they don't need, just like they buy into every single technological or programming hype
Poettering has a fetish for running his code as close to privileged mode on as many computers as possible. He can't accept any compromises such as having Linus veto his code (especially after the kdbus fiasco), so the closest he can get is PID 1. Or, as he likes to refer to it on his long daily masturbation sessions, ``PID eins''. Every evening, Lenny sits on his armchair which he has decorated like a throne, fully naked, and opens the systemD bug tracker. He begins stroking his penis, already hardened by the thought of his virus running on thousands of defenseless home computers and servers, while catching up on the daily stream of bug reports and angry users. What excites him the most are the legitimate bugs caused by his poor design decisions. While reading those, he fetches the big black PID eins sitting on his desk and begins shoving it up his butt, while masturbating furiously. Then, he begins typing a poor excuse with a workaround involving no less than three command line options, and climaxes just as he closes the bug report with a WONTFIX label.
