Was it ever an asset? I write software and I see my job as trying to write the least amount of software possible, because in reality, more lines of code means more time writing, reviewing, and maintaining. More bugs that may be possible, more work in general for features that people might never use. Software was never an asset, it's a liability. It's a means to an end. The real product is the service.

If a company has software engineers to take care of that, I can see them preferring an in-house solution. What I don't see are e.g. lawyers, accountants, or physicians, spending their time asking their LLM to solve a bug in their own platform instead of just hiring that service.

That's why I like pgroll's approach, in that there isn't really a "rollback procedure" that might make things worse during emergencies, but rather old and new schemas that remain working simultaneously until the migration is marked as complete and there are no clients using the old schema. "Rolling back" is actually cancelling the new schema migration and falling back to the previous version that's been working at all times, thus minimizing the risk.

I've been using web archive to open reddit links. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's often less of a hassle than trying to find that information somewhere else.

Column staggered keyboards exist, if that's your point.

ZMK firmware. This is happening right now btw:

Really nice project. We definitely need more wireless split options that are shaped to fit the hands. I only wish it had hot-swap switches or a non low profile option.
