Foss kicking itself in the face. Year of the Linux desktop any day now.
Over confident devs who can't figure out the delta between entire companies replacing humans and the reality of a force amplifier that'll turn devs into architecture/operators outside a small niche of actual hardcore coders.
They're firing humans. "Replacing" implies something else is doing their jobs.
Is this "force amplifier" in the room with us right now?
"Year of the Linux desktop" is a meme. Nobody cares if someone uses Linux, Mac, or Windows. All anyone wants is decent support for software on Linux as well. That being the case, it takes a special kind of masochism to use Windows these days.
