Golden age with a scoria made of JavaScript impairing its shininess.

Kent Sharkey wrote: With an unprecedented choice of tools, languages, platforms, and architectural styles, developers are creating a wildly inventive, software-defined world.
The chaos of that is not the golden age, it's the dark ages. Actually, more like the black hole ages, where the remains of yesterday's inventive technology can only be detected by the residue of its gamma ray burst as it is consumed with today's so-called inventive technology.

OpenBSD put a slidedeck[^] of their progress up late last year.
The most important highlights probably are that the cleanup and diet they've put the code in are already having a major impact in security, half the total number of CVEs as OpenSSL (22 vs 43) and no high risk CVEs at all vs OpenSSL having 5; and that the ports collection has spread beyond OpenBSD to be the default on some Linux distros (eg Arch and Void) and should work on "anything you care about". The latter includes Visual Studio 15; so it's not isolated in *nixland.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Rob Joyce, the nation’s hacker-in-chief, took up the ironic task of telling a roomful of computer security professionals and academics how to keep people like him and his elite corps out of their systems. Don't connect it to the Internet?

Like when watching a sleight-of-hand magician, Web developers have been distracted by the recent popularity wars between the various front-end frameworks, and we’ve missed a fundamental shift in the nature of these frameworks. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) has been quietly and steadily showing up in many aspects of the main frameworks of today.
Very useful article on the growing popularity of FRP within web development.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Actually, on the client I think that is exactly what we need.
JS is a POS, and the sooner the Web can be targeted using other languages, the better.

Don’t you think that a developer should be [a] programmer who is also an architect and a problem solver? I'm a Senior Blurb Architect

As a Senior Principle Sarcasm Architect I have to say that's the most brillant thing I've ever read.
