Intel Refreshes 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable, Slashes Prices

Strange, somehow that is exactly what we were doing in 1999, using Apache modules on UNIX.

We had a business in one year and were acquired by a major Portuguese company, with luck the company did survive the crash, and exists nowadays as Altitude Software.

Some of the founders of that startup, left after a couple of years and founded Outsystems.

No cloud, no scripting languages with kubernetes scaling to fix lack of performance, no containers, no internet scale document databases.

Just pure C and C++, with a bit of TCL thrown into the mix, and Apache.

And yet if you were to go out today and build the exact same product in the exact same way it wouldn't succeed. Strange.

Naturally, because it wouldn't fit the fashion driven buzzwords of today's Silicon Valley copy-cats.

Says who? Or is the only metric of success in your book the publishing of buzzword-filled "engineering" blog posts, parroting the endless nonsense coming from similar "start" "ups"?
