I would argue that MongoDB queries aren't intuitive but I've known SQL for at least 10 years

Hell, I maintain an application where the person who originally programmed it reimplented Rails in PHP (except worse)... It gives me all kinds of grief lol

But they did, and they will always do at every turn...

I am not against making something not backwards-compatible. I am in favor of throwing old, bad things away even at the risk of having to rework some stuff... But how crazy legacy is at every damn company is just making it so frustrating. They will happily just wait it out for 14 years and then complain about their Python2 being desupported

I have a framework that has a database backend that relied on some default behaviour of count() where if you don't put in an array, it would just return 0 and not error.

Broke in 7.x because it would now warn now... I don't remember what it returns now but that was a thing...

First thing I thought when reading "M3U Editor" was music playlists for local music... Man, definitions sure changed. I don't personally like conflating terms very much, but that happens a lot nowadays.

The following isn't feedback, just personal rambling: Also I can't feel but somehow I would be unable to make a software that has that kind of "playlist protection" as a feature that needs a higher tier of monthly payment. I seem to come from times where things like this sure warranted a one time payment but not an ongoing one. Though it might be that I have my head stuck up my, well, you know and I need to get with the times of SAAS

The article states that it set itself at the first daylight savings change, but apparently the wifi chip broke so now it can't set itself at all anymore

The .NET Framework, specifically the WinForms and the WebForms did that. Of course you could change everything manually, but DataBinding was a core concept which relied on changing data to change the contents of the GUI.

WPF still has the same kind of approach and to be terribly honest, Silverlight, as hated as it was, did it before React.

Lol in Germany i was only ever allowed to use non-programmable calculators all the way through high school, college, university.

Yeah, typically users are mildly annoyed by electron applications because they either don't fit into the basic style of the OS or suck away RAM. They stay because of the service, something that is provided (the walled garden usually)

Which is why electron is so popular. I'm sure the whole "it's way easier to whip something together that kinda works" is correct in the short term. You whip something up and rely mostly on the hype and viral marketing to drive your app.

Winamp won far before Spotify was even a contender. It won in another time. Spotify is winning mostly because people don't want to spend money for songs anymore and they don't give a damn if they own them. Which is not to say I don't like the practice, it doesn't matter to me.

You're not alone. I worry the same about many things, but everyone just thinks I'm a negative nancy for discounting THIS AWESOME SERVICE with these awesome, 100% non evil people behind it!

A friend of mine would be receiving $5500 from them in ads by Feb 1. He suspects that he is never going to get it.

What do you think?
