On the 40th anniversary of the announcement of NeXT William Gallagher remembers the history and influence of the company.
I think the same thing that just happened with #Commodore should also happen with #NeXT. A representative of "the community" should acquire all rights to NeXT and revive the company. 😃
OMG... #ProjectBuilder! I started with this software on Mac OS developing Objective-C. 😃
What #next, then?
- I've made peace with it, just as I've made peace never touching #Windows ever again.
You may call me an "opinionated asshole" from your point of view, but I sincerely wish I was wrong.
- Look where all the absurd complexity got us: #NSAbook, #JavaScript-based #malware that mines #shitcoins and #tracking #cookies.
The real cost doesn't come through to #consoomers except as #ReducedLifecycle due to #bloat.
But then again what do I expect from a coward doing the reply & block - combo, because confronting the fact that people got burned out by shit like PHP would mean admitting mistakes, and we can't have that as a fanboy.
