What does cutting corners have anything to do with the topic at hand? The situation isn't about devs getting the time to do something right, it's about programmers making a non-engineering decision that was overruled by the business in the businesses best interest. That's perfectly reasonable.

> that the workflows are intuitive

It can't be both intuitive and yet too complicated to show examples at the same time.

> it seems pretty obvious

Based on what evidence? This is the "making things up" the reply alluded to. It's not even remotely obvious to me, and I disagree with your concussion. Hardware is 75% of Apple's revenue

> Claude Code is a subscription tier explicitly designed for agentic, automated, heavy usage

Except it's not. It's a desktop, web, mobile, and CLI subscription product built on top of a usage-based API with a generous token allowance bundled with it. That generous allowance comes with the restriction that those tokens can only be spent through Claude product surfaces. Why would Anthropic offer their API at a loss and subsidize the profits and growth of other businesses?

> no wonder performance is even better than in windows!

Every "benchmark" I've seen from someone claiming a game performs better on Linux via Proton than on Windows was written by someone that doesn't know anything about running benchmarks or how statistics work.

I love Postgres in 2026, but it really was not a viable enterprise option before 2010. MySQL had decent binlog replication starting in 2000 which made up for a lot of the horrible warts it had.

mysql was great in 2000 if you knew all the foot guns to avoid and set it up correctly (and not just what sounded correct).

Not to mention there was Percona, and both Google & Facebook contributed a number of patches that made monitoring MySQL top notch (such as finding slow running queries, unused indexes, locks etc.).

> ones pushing for permissive licenses are rather companies like Apple, Android

The FOSS community at large embraced permissive licenses and it had nothing to do with the interests of big corporations.

MCP's can hide most things behind an API.

I'm confused. It's too much work to upgrade dependencies, but not too much time to write from scratch and maintain, in perpetuity, original code?

Yes. I've probably spent more time maintaining a trivial Rails app originally written in 2007 than I spent writing it in the first place.

But if you would have rewritten the entire app every time you needed to update the dependencies, that would have taken even more time.

Something like 60-70% of violent crime involves victims and offenders that know each other, and with murder and sexual assault it's 70-80%.

Which isn't really relevant as most violent crime is criminal on criminal. Know each other doesn't mean they're friends. Many times it's rivals.
