The End of Programming as We Know It https://buff.ly/4gu7GVi

"It is not the end of programming. It is the end of programming as we know it today." -- #TimOReilly

Remember “Open APIs?” How Tim O’Reilly told us they were how we would build the “open web” in “Web 2.0?”

Turns out an Open API is open in the sense that a gate owned by someone else is open. In that it can just as easily be closed and locked at their whim.

#TIL about Inner Source, which is basically Open Source minus the Software Freedoms. Coined by (surprise, surprise) that great friend of Free Software, Tim O'Reilly, Inner Source is the parasitic use of Open Source development practices by proprietary software companies, with no respect for the software freedoms of the people using the resulting software. *shudder*
