I've probably posted this previously but it's what a tech friend of mine describes as an incredibly quotidian view into mid 80s computer engineering. https://ia601701.us.archive.org/20/items/year-in-dev/YearInDev.pdf

@estherschindler I've been using "the holidays" as an excuse to mostly faff around since Thanksgiving. Need to get back in a flow in the new year.
@mitchw Could be worse. They could be drinking Black Label.
As a friend of mine regularly reminds me, I've gotten a lot done this summer with a few other plans in motion. But STILL can't believe it's almost labor day and I haven't made more progress with house.
@davidegts My first program may well have been something along those lines.
Luis VillaI clearly remember sitting in my dorm room and reading about the Red Hat experiment in giving stock to maintainers. It was a real "whoa, we can make money doing this?" moment. We've got some definite Red Hat DNA at Tidelift so we took a peek back. Featuring @djb_rh and @harishpillay, among others...

@jenniferplusplus It's *somewhat* evolutionary but some combination of the evolution of distributed computing, processors/computing architectures, what runs on those processors/computing architectures, etc. are all going to be important even if fragments of what will happen are almost certainly visible today.
@jenniferplusplus Edge is certainly big already although maybe not at the top of the hype cycle. I do think figuring out where computing (and storage) belong for different use cases is an important debate for some number of upcoming years.
@dcbaok @norootcause Arguably, we're already somewhat in there. I used to be more sold that this was a done deal given time. Still think it is, but there will be a lot of company bones in the interim.
@jenniferplusplus Linux-based unikernels could be part of that but I remember the last flameout of server appliances. Unikernels, if they catch on, would mostly be an evolution of the Linux process model.
