I read it yesterday and had a discussion on Git Discord. The author believes people will slop Google-scale repos and Google-type SCM is needed now. Some say a USB-C cable has more computing power than the Apollo program, so maybe.

Banks, airlines, power infra, and other high-stakes customers got computerized in the 60s and 70s. IBM still holds a chunk of that market. Microsoft and Google are not going anywhere. So I guess all that slop will serve something less critical than all of the above.

USB-C charger, not cable.

  • My Claude says that a decent cable has an ARM Cortex-M0 running at tens of MHz, while the Apollo Guidance Computer was 1MHz. I am afraid to think what a charger packs.
