arch seems pretty essential and it's still at 107m. hardware is complex, no way around it.

From one answer:

> Linux, before all these features and bloat were added, as originally released as a crude kernel for 386 machines

Developers surely like to say anything they don't care about is "bloat", don't they? This "bloat" is what makes Linux usable everywhere.

BTW, this is worth money. Don't shy from asking for it.

What's ChiComs?

Funny that in today's Hacker Newsletter [0], they exclude this thread from their Show HN section. Even though it has way more points than other stories.

I think you're onto something. Congrats.

1. You seriously think people with 30-40 years of experience in this area want to automate themselves out of a job?

2. It hasn't been 100% automated because 100% automation is not the goal (or reasonable). "Most things are automated" is already a huge improvement anywhere. What do you think "it hasn't been done"? Are you assuming those overnight shipments are being done entirely by humans with pen and paper?

3. Companies that need this kind of shipment are huge. Huge companies are slow for obvious reasons to anyone that has worked in any enterprise. They don't change quickly. Sometimes they don't change at all and have all market inertia in their favor.

It seems to me you're not experienced with huge operations. It's fine and usually people assume it's way easier than it looks. I'm surprised you assume it's way harder and can't be done at all. Don't bet against software, we have decades of examples showing it wins in the end.
