> Woz still gets invited to the HQ to this day

Isn't Woz technically still an honorary Apple employee, or am I misremembering that?

They are genuinely holding on to the one minor mishap from Apple that was corrected right after. Either way, grabbing popcorn to see how this plays out in court.

Well I am on the millennial/Gen Z cusp, and I think the new "old web" is a recreation of the corner of the Internet that puts humans before bots (as opposed to faithfully recreating it). Then again this website feels like it's doing a little too much.

Codeberg and Gitlab exist though. The problem is the inertia. Tons of repositories in GitHub from way before MS acquired them, which makes most people use GitHub, which makes most software projects choose GitHub.

Heck, GH Stars are used as a vanity metric for a lot of projects.

Just gonna chime in here to mention I am one of the users who has NOT been here since Classic mac or any sort of olden days (I mean, I was born in 2001; there are people who have used BBEdit longer than I have been alive).

My first experience with BBEdit was around 2020, and I have had a copy of it ever since on a Mac for light editing. My main dev home is JetBrains IDEs, but I find VS Code too heavy for quick text edits. That, and Shell Worksheets are enough of a game changer that it justifies the whole price.

I just attended a talk at Northeastern (Boston) on Verus, it's genuinely amazing. I have been using it on my own Rust codebases for a while, and it has made me think deeper about the structure and semantics of Rust code.

I do agree with you, there is a reverse in the minimalism trends (which I am incredibly happy to see).

However, in my opinion this specific typeface and aesthetic is been taken up by AI companies to harken back to the likes of the 1984 Macintosh ads and such...in an attempt to try and convey that "$(AI_PRODUCT) is just as revolutionary as the first desktop PCs".

I love (read, hate) the trend of using Serif fonts and marketing material that pull on nostalgic vibes. Surely, AI has been revolutionary in its own regard, for better or worse. But, the more they go into 80/90s style advertising, the more the allure of it dies.

Also this "system" just seems vulnerable af.

CompSci grad in the US as well, it is genuinely a sea of either Macs or ThinkPads with $INSERT_FAV_LINUX_DISTRO here, and even then 66% of that are Macs.

The "cloud" is most likely running Linux so it's UNIX-like. Everything old is new again!!

This is actually fun to observe!! Kudos :)
