The greybeards now burned out from maintaining our foundational stuff have no one who’s learned the 'why’s of best practice under a good mentor, nor have time to donate to open source - and ‘fuck you pay me’ is cute for all the strings it has, btw, but your mentor would have taught you that.
Some of us, worried at distros drinking IBMs (then redhat) kool-aid of badly built shit who raised concerns were labeled ‘just old’; so, like a COVID nurse we said ‘no u’ and focused on other tools and projects.
Things are gonna die. Somewhere in there things will become poorly-maintained. After a dark time of shit massively sucking - and probably another init daemon because blobs are sexy? - it will get better.
But by then apophis will drag our moon into a declining orbit and make us focus on nuking the moon to push it back up.
In 2002 we were firing all our mentors.
