I rewrote a section of Teliva's Readme today:

Small change in text: https://github.com/akkartik/teliva/commit/b36927e35cd26

But a big step in a huge trajectory of maturing thinking.

2010: Dependencies are moving parts, introduce unreliability.

2015: Well, we have to depend on something. Ok, hardware only.

2021: Firmware, management engines, shit, I'll come again. Depend on a narrow waist. Posix, C, Lua.

2022: There's even more I can't do alone. Sqlite, Redis, etc. Reputation is a useful signal.

This post is part of my Freewheeling Apps Devlog.
