How is oxide trendy and IBM systems z/i are seen as archaic? Isnt that essentially what they sell “cloud” on prem? Seriously wondering what are the major differences in market, is it just that Oxide is targeting modern software stacks?

The entire infrastructure of the world relies on free open source software written 30 years ago.

And then all governments and corporations demand immediate support as if they have paid Tier 3 SLA with the unpaid maintainers lol.

Maybe Im just poor

Kinesis is a legendary keyboard brand.

Just use OpenRouter

Is this just a harness or using a proprietary model in the background? Anthropic and OpenAI are already very well trained in IBM system i and z knowledge. Unless Bob is somehow improving the integration to these midrange and mainframe systems I literally dont see any benefit to using Bob. IBM will just kill this proprietary tech in 5 years as they are currently doing with RDi or forget about updating it like SEU.

When I am not sure what direction I want to go in next, and so I try multiple versions from the same starting point.

Badass!!! Congrats. I love JJ’s mental model. Its so much less opionated and lets me do what I want. Want to make 5 versions of the same commit? Easy. Need to push out a change asap without having to pre create a branch, stash your changes, yadayada. Jj just adapts.

Once you start thinking in jj it becomes frustrating having think back to use GitHub as a code repo.

I would love to hear more about Costco's engineering culture. The fact they are still running/modernizing/supporting AS400 infrastructure and RPGLE applications is remarkable. I have to imagine that they have a unique devops model internally to keep that alive; especially facing a dwindling talent market.

30 years later do you think we got better or worse.
