   programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

   "GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

   GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

   See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

   and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

     @sc_griffith Might be an extremist but if something isn't able to describe itself enough to interest me in about it's first screen(s)… I'm not going to bother.
     Specially for corporate stuff, because then it means they intentionally planned their design against my needs.

     @sc_griffith these websites aren't aimed at programmers they're aimed at their bosses who will get very excited and order the programmers to use it

     Yes. And you've reminded of this, which always makes me smile https://youtu.be/Pbw5SjxFS8s

     @lydiamiller @sc_griffith Lol I have kubernetes filtered under my "dumb stuff" filter. I don't even know what it is and I'm not sure I want to!

     @lanodan @sc_griffith No, it's a good stance.
     
     Spurrious dependencies are not desirable and everything should accommodate a build-from-scratch manually with manually-managed depedencies approach.
     
     Not only because it avoids a lot of bullshit, but it is also very helpful when packaging the resulting software for some distro or another.

     @lispi314 @sc_griffith Well when packaging or choosing dependencies I consider that it's vouching for the software so I tend to skim through the code to get an idea of what it involves and will involve.
     Lot of software doesn't makes it, which is usually fine but it can be a bit annoying at times.

     That's not inevitably a red flag, so long as the project doesn't /depend/ on them. If it starts to, forking considerations should be taken in mind.

     @sc_griffith@mathstodon.xyz Thats what they get for using Gumbies, which is proprietary. Had they used Moomba instead, which is open source and maintained by a passionate team who dedicates their free time to maintaining it, this wouldnt had happen.
