[...]Simple is invariably neither robust nor correct[...]

You completely miss the fucking point that UNIX is DESIGNED NOT TO BE CORRECT

If you don't understand the basic concepts of "new jersey style" you've immediately disqualified yourself from making any further comments, no matter how many essay length comments you write

That's fine and all but systemd is a real-life example of if you actually offer someone a "The Right Thing" solution that takes all of their hard problems, swallows the complexity of them and presents a simple interface with the right abstractions people will choose it overwhelmingly over alternatives.

I couldn't care less about design-by-ideology when I'm paid to design correct systems.

How about you tell me who or what you work for and which systems you design supposedly so I can avoid them like the plague
