  • That’s my biggest pet peeve with it honestly. My theory is still that it’s a mistake that modern languages/tooling create a LICENSE file for you. In the before-times, when someone posted a project without then you told them and they educated themselves. Some chose GPL, some MIT, all fine, as long you do it with an educated mind. But now, the file gets created, technically legally binding contract of sorts, and the authors simply never bothered to check.

    Change my mind: Linux is only still highly relevant because of GPL, not despite of.







  • Even if after Trump a good president is elected, they’ll have to use their whole time to extinguish the flames. And then what, after four years? Will the American people elect the next Trump-style president who has an easier time bringing it all down than it takes to lift it up? It’ll take at least a decade to fix this mess. And I’m not positive that many Americans see it as the mess it is.

    I’ll be truthful, if it was 2013 and I was in my current age, going to the US would’ve been a no-brainer as someone in tech. Early last year I chose Zürich instead.
