Readit NewsHi! Author here. I think it's important to address certain aspects of this post that people tend to misunderstand, so I'll just list them here to save myself the effort.
* I do not argue against abstractions, but against the unrestricted application of them.
* I do not advocate for a reversion to more constrained platforms as a solution.
* I do not advocate for users becoming "more technical" in a "suck it up" fashion.
The key to understanding the software crisis is the curves of "mastery of a platform" and "growth/release cycles". We have, in the past 40+ years, seen these curves diverge in all but a few sectors. We did not address the crisis when these curves were close in proximity, but the second best time is now.
As for folks calling this clickbait, it is the first in my log, and reflects my thoughts on the situation we find ourselves in as developers. The sentiments are mirrored, in various forms, around multiple communities, some of them based in counterculture.
I do want to deliver some part of the solution to these problems, so I do intend on following up on "I'll show you how". I am a single entity, so give me time and grace.
Hi wryl. I'm interested in hearing your follow-up to this post, so I tried to add your log to my feed reader, but I couldn't find an rss/atom feed, which is the only way I'll remember to check back in. Do you have a feed I can follow?

Still not open-source it looks like [2]. I'm not willing to create an account right now. Can someone who has an account post what the pricing looks like if any? I'd also be curious what other agreements you have to make other than the terms of service[1] you agree to when making an account.

> That's pretty disappointing.
From the article: “End users can continue to copy, modify, and redistribute the code for all non-commercial and commercial use, except where providing a competitive offering to HashiCorp.”
Literally nothing has changed, this isn’t disappointing, it’s smart, they’re protecting themselves against cloud providers that have repeatedly abused the goodwill of the open source community.
>Literally nothing has changed
This is super disingenuous in a world where things like the GPL exist and any other license that prevents you from putting further restrictions on the combined product.
