Internet companies usually have clauses that they can terminate the agreement at any time for any reason, including "because they feel like it". They usually don't have to tell you why, either.
Same deal with all the "licensing" things and "digital goods ownership". In two words: you don't.
But it's been that way for ages.
Let's be real here: They are trying to create a "platform"^TM and "ecosystem"^TM to later wall off, embrace, extend, extinguish or otherwise enshittify.
There is no actual problem they are solving.
It's venture capital bait.
It said "cheaper" not "energy efficient".
Wings are easy, jet engines are hard.
Besides, if you can do it with an electrical locomotive on the ground, the energy conversion to electricity of a power plant should be better than the energy conversion of a jet engine from fuel to movement.
So imo, cheaper seems plausible, energy efficient is a maybe.
That's not good, but it's not like we can switch to a more secure alternative. ;)
Gumbies isn't real, but if you can explain to me how CI/CL or github actions work using only their documentation I'm going to proverbially eat a hat.
If this is not a meme...
You know how you have to look up... errors when you don't know what they mean?
That.
Figuring out how to do something specific, like UI, works just like that. All the time. It's "looking up how it works", then "messing around with it until it does" all the way down.
If you are just starting out, coding something in HTML and javascript might be intuitive, because you can see and run it right away. Otherwise you will have to figure out how to use some kind of UI framework in the language you're using. Because they're all different. Yeeeaaah...
I think it's harder for compiled languages and easier for interpreted ones.
Where is the guitar?
How do you expect people to become rockstar https://codewithrockstar.com/ devs without a guitar?!
...and whose fault is that, private publishing industry? Hmmm? Who didn't invest here?
Also #politics for allowing it to happen of course.
