@suetanvil@freeradical.zone @athas@freeradical.zone Unix did many bad abstractions. In fact you would be hard pressed to find any that is good from the point of view of what we know today.

But that's not the point. The point is that the industry is rotten when in 40 years it cannot move on from those bad abstractions.

And as you pointed out people do know how to solve many of the problems that unix tried to solve in a better way.

The problem is industry inertia. People get certifications for using the old cruft, it's very very hard to find a job that involves making something new ​​

@jollysea@chaos.social You could find stuff on it. ​​
