I heard people say that aout Deep Blue.

Well, this is the strategy, you have your tests in a pipeline, if code passes, code gets released. Then, obviously, a bunch of bugs emerge, these are fixed and tested by the same dev, what could go wrong? Tests are added for regressions. The fixes cause bugs elsewhere, of course, but code passes the pipeline. Start over ...
<quote>NEVER Ever use a cloud vendors sw, Lock in is lock in. Once you are locked in you have no negotiation ability</quote>
You can use the cloud to your benefits, however, treat cloud in code as on-premise, do not use their shiny expensive features that are subpar anyway, build your own, pay once for the effort, and it's yours!
On-site is always better, but when manglement wants cloud, make your cloud infra cloud-agnostic.
In the early 2000's, I was tech support for SGI Visual Workstations, Diablo II was used to test the graphics performance. I had 4 or 8GB of RAM on these things with Windows NT. When the boss came around, I would say I am testing the graphics. I was waiting for calls, when a call arrived, I would switch to our app and die in the game. Fun times.
OpenBSD is for grown-ups, it is a tool and not a swiss army knife. What it does it does better than anything else and if you want to do what it does, you use it. If you do not know what you want, you would use Linux, the swiss army knife, if you have Windows, you are not entitled to an opinion.
Hitler & co were far-left.
Go find a picture of the Reichstag in 1931 or 1932, notice the NSDAP sitting on the far right in the chamber.
NSDAP, in light brown uniforms, leave the chamber, except Goebbels:

I come here again because I failed to mention why I strongly believe BSD is for experts.
FreeBSD has the fastest networking stack in the industry, say whatever you want, fact, compared to Linux and macos, Windows is not even in the same ballpark even though they copy the FreeBSD network stack every ten years.
FreeBSD has many goodies, including an in-kernel load balancer, which is rock solid.
Even the docs are top-notch.
OpenBSD has never had a zero-day and been around a while.
Yes, they are harder to install than Windows, macos, or Linux, we don't care, we know what we are doing.
May I add:
They removed the root drive shortcut from Finder favourites, no clear way I found to get it back except Go -> Go to Folder -> / - annoying or open /
in Terminal.app.
Every macos release consistently breaks music recording/editing software.
May I remove:
Tabbed Finder does not break drag and drop, it just takes some patience of yours to allow it to figure out you really want to drag and drop to the other tab - you have to hold the file over the tab for a few seconds.
The exact reason why you guyz are still around - you make very good ones and sometimes bad ones, but at least we het one each time.
The thing I do not understand, is how a gold badge does not know this ...
There is an angle you forgot, here, which is the need to adapt to the person your are writing to. MBA's typically would not understand a properly unformatted email with a reply below and would probably mark it as spam - if you need to communicate with them, you have to adhere to their rules ... I learned that a decade or two ago ... when I write to techies, I usually append some silly thing at the end, such as _Sent from my CPC 128_
When XP came out, I too went to FOSS, mostly FreeBSD, Slackware, Suse (7.2 pro), and Mac OS X, I got a Powerbook. When I took the Powerbook to the office one morning, the founder came around to have a look at it. Mac user ever since. I tried to stick to Windows 2000 at work for as long as I could, when they forced XP on me, I installed Solaris in a VM and used that, I turned off everything I could in XP to keep it as lightweight as possible - why Solaris ? Just to show that it could be done.
