  • Lol I saw this when it came out and we had another thread (or not, I might be getting DejaVu).

    My pet theory for why they did it like this is:

    they fired any experienced dev and told a bunch of juniors; whose experience was only in react, to write a TUI. The juniors obviously thought they would code up the backend first because they were like “TUI? What’s that? Some kind of web frontend that looks like the cmd.exe?” and then it was just a terminal-like frontend rendered using a canvas.












  • Sure but the title sounds interesting on it’s own and prompted me to learn what it was. It’s clickbait but there’s no bait and switch when you visit the article.

    And the description gives enough clue for me what the article is going to be about:

    What happens when a large open source project dies.

    Edit:

    And I find that focusing too much about upvotes won’t make for a good community experience. If the material is good the upvotes will eventually arrive.
