Be patient. It's coming. So I heard.

I'm still a happy payer, but... They started to get out of tracks with the "new UI".

The OP post feels like completely marketing department, no skin in the game. I'm afraid they are becoming Borland.

The classical question "would you fly an airplane with software you developed?". There must be someone with ass on the line. Problem is that people are regarding all those not as airplane-like risks.

Unless we can blame people/companies and people stop getting their bonuses and high paying salaries for preventable failures, it's a long way to go.

Pointing this is the new trending in my Linkedin feed. Same people that three months ago were saying "it's not (about) A, it's ...". Accountability died a long time ago.

I am seeing my client using things like this heavily (not exactly this). Also, what I would call "business awareness" is declining.

Isn't that a metacognitive insight itself?

That already happens here. I am old dev who was the goto guy for people with certain business and technical questions. Not anymore (which is part good, as I'm interrupted much less, and part bad, as sometimes they regard the wrong answer as truth).

Beautiful on paper. But it does not scale outside a certain type of tech people.

It seems it is the buzzword of the month.

Yes. The anchor chain got broken sometime ago. It's still there, but nobody want it anymore.

Unless it's illegal in more places, I think they won't care. In my experience, the percentage of free riders in Brazil is higher (due to circumstances, better said).

Smells like "Banco Master" (Brazil) scandal.

Weird thing is that it can ease things like that too.

Yeah, miss good ol' mom, gradma talk: you (should) love people; things you like them.

You are becoming Brazil (brazilian here).

Things would come in SDKs, and docs were in MS Help .chm files.

I can't stop thinking what happened when CASE tools, WYSIWIG, UML, Model Driven Architecture/Development, etc was pushed into devs. I know, it's a different phenomenon (that was a graphical visual push, this keeps the text).

My rules: if it's a person I interact everyday, private hello (hi, hey) is ok, and answered with equivalent. If we don't interact usually or have never, if I'm the one starting, then it's "Hi, I'm ..., the one responsible for ... We have this case ... etc etc.". I accept anything.

But, anyways, it's just life, don't know why people (even from my generation) are nervous these days.

It's weird the amount of not asked/not needed things we do.

I suppose Synadia will keep its plan to have NATS (or whatever it intend to call it) with a "business license". And, unless this episode wakes some people up, some damaged has been done (to the project/community).

I'm not against this kind of move (Synadia's) by itself, but it seems too early. I've been following NATS for some time, and undeservedly, it hasn't taken off. I could find only two books; documentation is clean but I think it could be improved; blog posts, tutorials, videos are few and sparse in time; community tools are nil (from what I could find). A non-open source license is going to restrict adoption even more.

I recommended it to my clients every time it looked like a solution to the problem, but never been able to convince, due to the lack of community or big cloud sponsorship/offerings.

Looking at partners of this effort, I wonder what problems does A2A create to serve as a solution.

People said the same when COVID started. The sides were reversed back then.

That's mostly noise. I just ignore. Except on some specific subject I'm eventually dealing with, I check "top of last 90 days" and I'm fine.

I'd wish NATS were more popular. It feels it lacks some real big sponsors $$$.

I feel, cannot substantiate, but I feel today looks like those days of "Model Driven Design", "Model Driven Architecture", UML code generators, WYSIWYG IDEs.

Just feeling, just feeling.
