I don't think you are trying to look at it rationally but simply in terms of priors where sprawl has cost an immense amount of resources. A tunnel where 2 pallets can cross is not much larger than a sewer, fits bellow a pedestrian/emergency vehicle system and is more valuable than a larger tunnel because it can never be DoT approved.

The one you reference doesn't look like it misrepresents the licenses, i.e. of you use it to make your own derivative you would expect to have to share modifications you make to the LGPL code.

The facts are interesting but the conclusion a bit strange. These package managers have succeeded because git is better for the low trust model and GitHub has been hosting infra for free that no one in their right mind would provide for the average DB.

If it didn't work we would not have these massive ecosystems upsetting GitHub's freemium model, but anything at scale is naturally going to have consequences and features that aren't so compatible with the use case.

You bring up an interesting point for the US to have a first world level of fiber to the home it needs to require diesel.

Don't have an uncle just in case!

I think it's usually a bit more complicated, i.e. the people who were expected to do processes don't and someone else shows the people asking for access that there's a faster, cheaper, cooler tool.

It's a mixed bag.. If you spend much time in a poorly reviewed ecosystem then you are quickly taught that if you try to make things work in their broken crap you will lose a lot of time and have no code to demonstrate you were working at all.

If you always inject the same repair layer approach of your own crap then you ship more reliably and have your pleased client and your lock-in. The pleased client then has to decide if they should listen to a replacement who says you are insane but can't seem to ship anything.

I think interruptions had better be the top priority. I find text LLMs rage inducing with their BS verbiage that takes multiple prompts to reduce, and they still break promises like one sentence by dropping punctuation. I can't imagine a world where I have to listen to one of these things.

Burying other last mile utilities that waste less land was not insane when real estate was a fraction as valuable as now and engineering technology was worse.
