To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Perfect answer, fellow cimmerian.

Honestly, I feel that everything UI related has gone backwards to the stone age.
I wonder how hard would it be to go back to visual designers like we had with Delphi or VB6. There were flexible layout container components which helped a lot when adapting forms to varying screen resolutions.

>but not having anyone on call at any time seems unlikely.
Bending Spoons is Milan based and most of Europe has very strong right-to-disconnect laws. It's not really uncommon here to not have anyone on call unless you're some big multinational.
All companies I've worked at had (paid) on-call set up. The right to disconnect isn't incompatible with business needs and the law contemplates it. Also, nurses and doctors do it too.

The main difference between Delphi/Lazarus and classic VB is that in classic VB you can pause the program and run commands in the paused program - i.e. running it in a "half-alive" state, though it wasn't fully editable as many changes requiring restarting.
On the other hand Delphi/Lazarus has a much more capable language and richer set of components (and in Lazarus' case much better support for automatic layouts), which IMO is better overall.
But yeah, in the 90s Lazarus didn't exist (Delphi did though) - IIRC it was made around 2000 or so but it was really janky for most of the 2000s.
Note that Delphi (and Lazarus) is used for a lot more than LoB apps. It was used a lot by shareware developers for example (and some still use it, e.g. IIRC both Beyond Compare and Total Commander still use Delphi - with Lazarus for crossplatform and/or 64bit builds).
I remember not only running commands while debugging. I remember moving the program counter back, until a statement above my breakpoint, making live changes in the code and stepping it again until the breakpoint to see the effects of my changes without needing to restart the program.
