  • It’s time to return to the roots, the times when you used goto instead of function calls! Fortran and COBOL all the way! /s

    Once you look beyond the “git gud” and “we must gatekeep programming from the normies” aspects of coding, you might want a language that is either way more productive than C (D), a language that offers memory safety and functional programming paradigms (Rust), or even a language that has relatively good portability even at the cost of performance (Javascript).

    If you’re only grumpy about Electron apps, then be mad at the corporations that:

    • forced colleges and universities to teach Javascript and nothing else to students, so now we have programmers afraid of type declarations,
    • jumped on the “Big Data” and “software as a service” train, so every app needed to be a “website”, because “it’s so convenient, pops no longer need to install wordprocessor dot exe, just type wordprocessor dot com into a browser”.


  • It’s barely was existant. At least with Photoshop, you had the occasional outrage over some manipulated photos created in order to spread hate (anyone remembers the photo where someone photoshopped the heads of Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden onto Jewish people who wore big stars of Davids?) or create fake nudes, or the elitist oil painter that already had problems with other mediums just found yet another one to be snarky at something else besides of pencil drawings.
