Years ago, my former webhost decided they'd shift their serving over the cloud (a cost-cutting/profit-increasing exercise). After a week they went back to their previous system. It was slow, dead slow, had serious bugs, and their cloud service provider gave no evidence that they could resolve any of them. In essence, they lost control of their service, outsourcing the entire thing to substandard people. If they were hoping to just rake-in money without actually doing anything, themselves, that pipe-dream evaporated real quick. Going further back to my programming days, the notion of putting things inside sub-routines, inside sub-routines, calling further sub-routines, was incredibly sub-optimal. It was tedious, error prone, and noticeably slower. There's a point where it's far more optimal to do a most things directly. I never got into modern GUI system programming. The notion of having to frankenstein your program from a plethora of other people's libraries, with unknown problems, unfixable problems, inadequate information, and an ever-changing landscape of libraries and OS was more than I was willing to get involved in. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.83.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 25 16:41:43 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
