That physically hurts to read.

It is why there is nothing new on the web and what's here today will be roughly the same as what's here in 50 years time.

There should be one programming stack that does work and you can understand it completely without going to MIT or getting blindsided by vendors and it sticks around for decades and you don't have to get stuck in boilerplate, or learn-the-hard-way how a bubble sort works, or how a data structure should be designed, or how an algorithm should be crafted.



This has existed for years. The programming language is called Employee and it comes stock with a natural language compiler.

Fred Brooks wrote a good book on how to hook several Employee installations together to act as a distributed code generation system.

Unfortunately, use of Employee isn't free, but if you have a PhD and work in academia you can get access to installations of Graduate Student.


Lol.

Yeah, and humanity should speak the same language everywhere. Also, we have enough food for everybody, why are some people starving?

Welcome to reality.


No offense, but that reality sucks.

When people offer utopias, that doesn't mean they were born yesterday or are terminally naive. Rather, that's how all big social paradigm shifts start at some point.


Sure, and the sky is blue.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk.


This assumes that your ideal tech stack is the same as my ideal tech stack. It also assumes that every project has the same technical challenges and requirements. Neither of those things is true.
