I want smaller, simpler, hand made, purely human created, carefully designed programs made by paid programmers who care about making code last.

The lifetime of a well designed program should be measured in decades. We should think like furniture makers. Design and build things that last.

@mos_8502 Right now it feels like I'm trying to build furniture in a house that's steadily crumbling around me.
I would love to find tools and a platform that will actually last. Which maybe means a VM of some kind?

We need to stop making disposable things. All that LLM code has a lifespan of months at most. Nobody can maintain it. Even if it solves the problem itβs already broken at birth.

Unlikelylass@mspsocial.net@mos_8502 computers and computing should be commodities. You should be able to run anything on any chunk of hardware, and move or upgrade peripherals and components as desired.

freakazoid@retro.social@LunaDragofelis @mos_8502 A fork of OpenJDK that breaks compatibility is simply not a plausible scenario.
