I'm surprised about the negativity in the comments. I'm happy someone is testing alternative approache. If they're wrong, they just wasted a bit of their own capital. If they are right - we might all benefit. You've got to treat technology as means to an end, not a religion that requires conformity.

TL;DR: They can't balance the parenthesis.

Like `style` or `input`?

People got so stuck on JS for decades that they've forgot that HyperText in HTML is there for a reason. It was always supposed to be more than just UI descriptor markup.

It is JS who is out of place in web. A little script in form of DHTML that grew into becoming a cancer that it is now.

Text. Just use damn text. Nobody wants to look at your logo. Why biz people have to ruin everything.

Htmx doesn't prevent anyone from using JS, and using a tiny bit of localized JS is explicitly encouraged.

It doesn't matter if we get rid of The Agile. If you make The Agile go away, there will be something else, equally horrible.

The internal incentives in hierarchical organizations is to balloon the management, which suffocates the bottom of the pyramid. That's just how the world works, for most people, not just SWE. The Agile is horrible because corporate management makes everything horrible.

If you don't like it work in a small, carefully selected startup, or make your own company. Otherwise just accept that you're just a corporate drone and you have to endure the shitty corporate system to pay your bills. At least you get paid decently, because there's not that many people to replace you like in other professions.

You got to be an idiot to trust any public or vc company. You can use their products and services when it makes sense, you should never trust them.

This is an idiotic propaganda piece, not anything to do with science.

I disagree. Merge conflicts are just a fact of life, and line-granularity has good usability properties (displaying and editing). `git` has issues, but I don't see merge conflict granularity being an issue, especially when project enforce consistent&automatic formatting.

I agree however that while Pijul is technically very interesting, it doesn't seem to have any killer features that would overcome the cost of switching to a niche version control.

To contrast tech workers against working class, and redirect resentment. It's not billionaires that turned the system against working class. It's the nerds at Google that make six figures, duh.

> fear of repercussions is mostly gone.

Is it? Because AFAICT people censorship themselves online all the time for the fear of repercussion. It's like being on tape 27/7 where anyone that doesn't like you can watch your old tapes and loook for problems.

At very least some free tier for NAT64 gateways, or shared DNS64/NAT64 alike https://nat64.net/public-providers for Amazon users would be nice. I'm fine with ipv6-only connectivity for a lot of hosts, but once in a while they need to download some software / updates from github.com which is still ipv4-only. Paying fixed extra cost for every subnet just for 100MB/mo download per host is meh.
