@eniko I would like fewer apps, please. More websites that function as apps.
This applies specifically to mobile use. For desktop, let me download everything.

@eniko Preach. I want developers to be artisans and craftspeople who build for the ages.

@eniko As a matter of fact I want this to be the de facto approach to how we make new things but sometimes when I say this people think I mean stuff like woodworking and blacksmithing which, yes, but also computers, and phones, and bicycles electric and acoustic, and everything else.
I want *everything* to be made by people who have cause to take pride in their work.

I like small programs and I cannot lie. -

@eniko I want coder teams to be teams again who go Kegeln at the end of the day...

@eniko And people who actually know what they are doing.

@daviddoes @eniko Within reasonable limits, I am willing to pay for there to *not* be an app.
@datarama @daviddoes @eniko But don't you want the "better" experience

@svelmoe @daviddoes @eniko If what I'm after is an experience, sure I would!
If what I'm after is a toaster or a washing machine or a lamp, I don't particularly want an "experience".

@eniko Agreed.
-
@eniko That, and also I'd want internet-connected applications out of things where they have no sane reason to be.

@daviddoes @eniko Within reasonable limits, I am willing to pay for there to *not* be an app.
@datarama @daviddoes @eniko I don't because Apps generate extra costs and why should I pay more to save the manufacturer money.
Fuck 'em.

@eniko But then the boss would have fewer people to manage, and be unable to justify his job. Most software changes are about employment for engineers, not necessity. Grr.
As a software engineer I want computer languages and frameworks that stay stable for decades rather than have a new release every year that obsoletes old programs and requires a rewrite. But I don't get to have that :(.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I agree. Applications shouldn't be small small, but just have one topic around them.
I don't need to micro manage everything but I dont want wechat like mega apps -

@eniko I also want the updates to spend more time in UAT/Staging instead of being pushed straight into production.

@eniko So say we all. Or at least any of us with any sense.

@datarama @daviddoes @eniko I do not only want my toaster to be part of a botnet, I want my toaster to not have electronics AT ALL.
There is no reason for my fridge, toaster or oven to have a microcontroller. Really, we've been doing these things a century and today we seem to default to adding microcontrollers to everything.

@eniko
isnt þe unix philosophy "every program should do one job and do it well"? can we just make þat law? i would love a world where every program solved / did one þing i wanted and nþn else.
