Hmm, partially. One real thing that I see now is cloud costs. All of the stuff we now have in our pipeline does inflate our costs quite a bit, which then puts pressure on the budget and that crunches everywhere.
The way the author described programming in 2025 did make me chuckle, and I do think he makes some excellent points in the process.
It’s 2025. We write JavaScript with types now. It runs not just in a browser, but on Linux. It has a dependency manager, and in true JavaScript style, there’s a central repository which anyone can push anything to. Nowadays it’s mostly used to inject Bitcoin miners or ransomware onto unsuspecting servers, but you might find a useful utility to pad a string if you need it.
In order to test our application, we build it regularly. On a modern computer, with approximately 16 cores, each running at 3 GHz, TypeScript only takes a few seconds to compile and run.
Old man shouting at clouds…
