Yes, that is my bubble, pretty much. Sounds like I’m at the right place then. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

I don’t know a single developer who has an agent write 99% of their code. Is that the norm outside of my bubble?

> the interaction that people have with them now is the same interaction that everybody has always had with them

Right, that was my point. What does it matter what a diskette used to be? Unless something more obvious to convey storage/saving comes along, it’s hardly “crashing down” anytime soon.

Did it though? Most people young today probably never pressed a physical play/pause/stop button in their lives. Still, they get it. Some icons outlive their era, some don’t.

> In the 90s everybody knew how a paper book worked

I hope that’s still the case!

“we all would like corporations to share their products with us, but forcing us to pay because of their proprietary license is extremely anti-freedom to me”

No one is forcing you to do anything, and least of all which software licenses to depend on. If you don’t like something, choose something else. Freedom, you know?

> We replaced all the commercial products our clients and ourselves used with our own

You’ll never guess what product your clients are looking to replace with their own next.

You’re not wrong, but what an IDE does when opening a project directory is an issue with that tool, and not one directly addressable by the maintainers of the dependency management tool.

The more direct comparison would be whatever the equivalence of “npm install” is for a given language, and what it allows to run. Sounds like they’re making good progress to fix that, but it’s certainly more than a popularity issue.

> never heard anyone suggest the best sports teams should stop competing when they've won enough, or that the best inventors should stop, or the best artists

While they want you to believe that, there’s no correlation between being rich and being best, or even good, at anything. You’re not the best athlete because your mom and dad were the best athletes. But if your parents were wealthy, you’re wealthy.

If they want standards to be applied ”consistently”, great. They can start by paying their taxes.

Does a hair transplant really count as a cure though? It’s more akin to a pricey baseball cap.

Not sure why that matters, but OpenFGA is an implementation of Zanzibar, which isn't exactly new. There are many similar implementations to choose from should one want to model authorization via a graph database.

Where a company is founded is irrelevant with regards to the GDPR. If they have users in the EU, GDPR applies.
