i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

@daviddoes @eniko Within reasonable limits, I am willing to pay for there to *not* be an app.
-
@datarama @daviddoes @eniko But don't you want the "better" experience
-
@eniko That, and also I'd want internet-connected applications out of things where they have no sane reason to be.

@eniko But then the boss would have fewer people to manage, and be unable to justify his job. Most software changes are about employment for engineers, not necessity. Grr.
As a software engineer I want computer languages and frameworks that stay stable for decades rather than have a new release every year that obsoletes old programs and requires a rewrite. But I don't get to have that :(.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I agree. Applications shouldn't be small small, but just have one topic around them.
I don't need to micro manage everything but I dont want wechat like mega apps -

@eniko can we also go back to calling them "programs" not "apps"? Or am I alone in that peeve?
I'd be happy to compromise at “application” because that's a more narrow, accurate term for what they are @bencourtice.
I'm also glad that the obvious power grab by Apple, to call them “app” and then attempt to claim an “app store” can only be owned by Apple, has failed.

@datarama @daviddoes @eniko I do not only want my toaster to be part of a botnet, I want my toaster to not have electronics AT ALL.
There is no reason for my fridge, toaster or oven to have a microcontroller. Really, we've been doing these things a century and today we seem to default to adding microcontrollers to everything.

@eniko This reminds me of one of the favorite apps on my phone: Animated Knots by Grog.
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/animated-knots-by-grog/id376302649
It has detailed explanations of almost 200 knots, and animations on how to tie all of them.It hasn’t been updated for years, because it’s basically done. I bought it once for the price of a coffee, and now I just use it whenever I need something more than my 3 standard knots.
(I have dyslexia-but-for-ropes, and this is the only way I can learn new knots.)
