WTF?

@sina Yeah. He's now going on about tying information to systems and if the two don't evolve together it breaks.

There are no universal data formats. JSON won't last. Neither will Postgres.

I'm waiting for him to say "blockchain."

@drwho Eugh, this sounds very terrible, and I think I'm glad I don't follow the person you're talking about.

@sina Entirely separate network. One I'm swiftly growing frustrated with.

@miwilc I know.

There are no universal data formats. JSON won't last. Neither will Postgres, YAML, or anything else.

Maybe ASCII and flat text will. Maybe.

If he says "blockchain" today I think I'm going to donate some money to charity.
