I know Synapse has few contributors outside of the Element company, but I just read this blog post about how Element is keeping the good Synapse code, increasingly rewritten in Rust so that it doesn't perform like a garbage barge, completely proprietary:
https://element.io/blog/scaling-to-millions-of-users-requires-synapse-pro/
Why would anybody contribute to the legacy Python code which this post makes clear is not scalable and is not good enough to sell? Surely it's a self fulfilling prophecy.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Solaris, is in fact, illumos, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, still just illumos. Solaris is not this operating system, but rather another totally different proprietary operating system forked from the same lineage some 15 years ago. All the so called "Solaris" distributions (except for Oracle Solaris) are really distributions of illumos.

If you've been afflicted by this, you should leave feedback for the Mozilla people: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/sidebar-and-vertical-tabs-release-channel-experimentation/td-p/78966
It's also super gross that this is an A/B testing thing; TIL Mozilla are pretty serious about this kind of user hostility: https://experimenter.info/

Firefox have added an awful new sidebar which wastes 80+ pixels of dead horizontal space in each browser window in an A/B test on some users who update to 133/134. It doesn't have a clear way to turn it off again. I tried to log in to "Mozilla Connect" to give feedback and it's down, lol, lmao.

Broadly, software is a kind of long con for convincing rubes that the computer is able to do anything other than reason about what we believe might have been true at some point in the past

I think we should get in early and use the horrendous neologism, "agentic", as a flat derogatory term; e.g., "wow, this incredibly tedious spam in the bug tracker is really agentic".

Have done about 100X more driving this week within Cyberpunk 2077 than in the real car. Definitely had to take a moment to adjust mental processes on the way to Safeway.

Using GraphQL as your only API is incredibly user hostile. It's a dubious facility with a high cognitive overhead compared to plain REST-style APIs, even when you consider that REST means different things to different people.
This is specifically a complaint about GitHub Projects V2.

While it's true that the idea of "chat-oriented programming" makes my skin crawl, that's nothing compared to the idea that I might be expected to call it "CHOP" for short.

Starting to wonder if there's a kind of brain thing that happens to Old Man Programmers. A kind of last great polemic nostalgia, where all you kids have never heard of any history and you're all fucking it up because you discarded all the good computer ideas back in the 1970s before you were born.

While I don't entirely agree with the thesis in the article, "Douglas Crockford Is Not Your Dad" describes, to a T, exactly how I feel whenever I read about some new edict from Douglas Crockford.

Webhooks, the way they're thought about by, e.g., GitHub, are not a good design pattern. What I want instead is an ordered event sequence I can (long) poll, or watch via Server Sent Events. If you want to sleep until activity, a hook-like POST with no content could tell you to resume polling.
