Why did the astronauts who landed on the moon, not do more acrobatics?

I'm so tired of libraries, packages, sdks, frameworks, and open-sourced all-in-one miracle platforms.

I get it, try and save time. But you end up with a birds nest of code that most of which is unnecessary. This results in either giant server resource usage, or it's just plain slow.

Modern tools, and languages exist that make large application development easier too. I think a lot of developers get into a comfort zone with their dev cycle and it seems to daunting to get out.

Our hardware evolves, our environments evolve, why's it so hard project management, and clients to evolve?

If you know nothing about cars, you ask a mechanic to investigate, explain, and give you options. You don't just march up to a mechanic and say, "I don't like my engine, I read about this idiot that installed a turbine in his car, I want one". This happens when you separate front end and back end also. The project designers don't know the devs are capable of automating much of the application. They just sketch out an app with as many buttons as they see on other apps.

Let's move on to the security issue. Hackers develop tools for what? Commonly used code. If you're using what everyone else is using, you're an easy target.

If you're planning to build an application, consult with developers first. Give them lots of time to do it right. Be understanding. Be patient. Don't be afraid to trash an old app and start over. Your developers will deliver gold.

How emotional are you on a general basis?

#confession: When I discovered Mastadon, I immediately searched who owns it, to try and buy their stock. I'm still disappointed in myself, and that I can't.

An ode to Venus

A fist full of rage
And a fist full of peace
Yet I claw through the sage
With neither of these
Should I open one hand
keep the other clenched
A hand full of sand
And the other is drenched
I swim through the sea
With neither of these
I'd drown where I reach
The mangrove trees
A feast for the fish
A crime for The Times
A deal with the devil
In the angel's eyes
I'll climb that rock
With neither of these
I'll see you at the top
Through the fresh pine trees
So where should I be?
With hands like these
In the sixteenth room
Of the Louve hath me

<rant> I did some searching, it appears federated architectures will be the future of most platforms. What I'm disappointed in, is where are the federated platforms that will change the world? Not just for sharing things, but actually do jobs. Where's my federated banks? (Not currencies, banks that accept all currencies), where's my federated schools? Where's my federated VPNs? Where's my federated search engines? Let's connect the offline to the online for a moment. Where's my federated logistics? (Pretty easy actually). Where's my federated power plants? Let the governments continue to govern.. but end their personal side cash machines. </rant>

A shower thought on my shower thoughts.

Do I really toot on Mastadon in the shower? Of course. I've tooted in the shower my whole life. Mastadon just makes it more productive. I hope this brightens someone's day. 😂

2am shower thought:

The "observer effect" in physics, plays an equally important role in psychology. There probably isn't many correlations though. By this I'm thinking longitudinal correlations. Can you think of any?

#physics #psychology #comparison

Shameful confession:
When I hear "Mastadon", my brain conjures the Power Rangers. I don't want it to. But I can't stop it.

But it makes me appreciate them more..
