everygood thing in the software ecosystem has happened because someone or the other was frustrated with something
stariting of with linus bro was just mad at bitbucket and “started” an entire fucking goliath (we give him more credit than he needs to get he barely did any work in the git ecosystem)
linux on the other hand is an entirely diff story, people talk about love to the point of invention but nobody talks about frustration to the point of discovery
bram cohen the bittor dude was just frustrated about slow downloads FUCKING KNUTH THE AUTHOR OF TAOCP SAID HIS BOOK LOOKED UGLY AND MADE TeX ??? i get you love fonts i love it too and if someone is curious (helvetica and poppins are my personal favs) AND AND the person who made LaTeX had nothing to do with latex itself HE AND KNUTH BOTH WON THE TURING AWARD FOR DIFF THINGS BUT THEY ARE MORE FAMOUS FOR TeX & LaTeX ?????????????
like byzantine faults ???? paxos ???? nah LaTeX is why you get famous it makes no sense and the fact that he didnt even spend like 2 years on it while he was stuck with his other work for his entire life ??
and i love how every big project ow was a small passion project first , nothing bad ever came out of a passion project other than people doomscrolling. btc 4chan fkin facebook theyre all pasion projects. GO AND RUST ARE PASSION PROJECTS go was literally designed between a random 45 min build time in the google office and rust was basically becasue one dude did not want to fix a bug (lets create a 1000 more) mad respect for rust devs tho i could never (or can i?)
also my hate for js is just everexsistant. i will forever hate that thing no matter how big it is. ITS A SCRIPTING LANGUAGE THAT IS BEING FIXED BY THE COMMUNITY its the same as cyberpunk being good. ITS A SHIT GAME the community is goated which is the only reason the game still stands today
also did you know the concept of proof of work (the thing bitcoin runs on and eth used to run on) came from gmail , it was basically a way to stop spammers from spamming emails to everyone by solving a small math problem (basically pow) AND also the term ricing comes from “race inspired cosmetic enhancements” comes from drag racers lol
ALSO berners lee (the guy who developed www) he regrets adding the ‘//’ says it wastes keystrokes lmao and also he wanted to make it decentralised but it ended up in the hands of 3 major companies which basically rule the internet AND AND ALSO ANOTHER FUNFACT microsoft barely makes money from windows itself their main money maker is azure WHICH RUNS LINUX HOW FUCKING IRONICAL RIGHT ????
anyhow ty to this dude called swapnil bro said he read my blogs and i got the motivation to write again :sob: enough blabbering i can talk about these things for like an entire day thank you to whoever the fuck read this enitre thing bye bye child
also insanely pretty song i missed out on their concert cause i was in fkin delhi aaaaa
