Fascist are oddly obsessed with paperwork. Reducing bureaucracy by increasing bureaucracy is part of the contradictions that fascism rely on.
I also worked on finance tech once. I agree with all you said, but the point is that a fancy sales pitch about a new bleeding edge server tech stack is not gonna change any of that because the customer doesn't care about the same things that developers care about.
If your users are aware and complaining about your tech stack, you failed as a Dev. The stack had nothing to do with it, its on you.
Edit: unless your customers are other devs, of course.
Banks.
Do you know why banks are still running COBOL on new, old architecture, IBM mainframes? Sure, it's in part due to risk aversion, ignorance and inertia. But it's also because, if in the end the result is the same, then the tech stack doesn't matter.
Very few people are tech fanatics, most people want results. They care when the products don't work. They don't care how you fix it as long as you fix it in a reasonable manner, within an acceptable timeframe at an affordable price.
Doesn't matter if the customer is a billion dollars bank or a social network. Debbie thinks javascript is when the barista puts her initials on her latte and rust is something to fear when it shows up under her car. Too many devs forget this.
It's the carrier's phone, not yours. That's how they offer such low prices.
It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.
What is a Trillium?
It's usually the electronic drivers. They overoverheat and degrade. Most burned LED bulbs still have working LEDs and just need to replace some component of the driver board.
Again, doesn't sound similar to me. There are plenty of exclusives both on the streaming and the videogames world. But the history on steam doesn't follow Netflix's history at all.
I think the problem is equating a public trade, stockholders driven service that is entirely in the gutter of service quality and shitty corporate behavior. With a private company that has a mostly solid ethic track record (with few exceptions) that offers unrivaled added value. Netflix already lost the streaming wars. Max exclusives will never go to Netflix, Disney would rather feed children to the pigs than share their IPs. While devs already negotiate time windows to end the exclusivity deals with Epic right out of the gate. Publishers will foam at the mouth about exclusivity just to release steam versions two years later. It's a massively different situation to Netflix.
AI is not human. And don't call me dude.
You don't want truly random, whatever that means to you. 99.9999'% of what randomness produces would be unplayable noise. Nowhere near anything a human would consider fun, engaging, or even interesting at all. The gaming marketing world went already through this discussion. Random generation without human intervention does not create fun games.
Not defending anything in particular. But at least in the books themselves it is explicit that magic is not a thing to figure out. You're either born capable of accessing magic or you aren't. A muggle can't reason their way into acquiring magic. The book's entire universe is based on the divide between those forced to exist within the confines of natural laws (muggles) and those capable of bending and breaking said rules to basically achieve whatever (wizards).
