Yeah, I bounced hard off the article at #5. My AI detector was slow warming up but kicked on at:

"Today’s real chain: React → Electron → Chromium → Docker → Kubernetes → VM → managed DB → API gateways."

Like, yes, those are all technologies, and I can imagine an app + service backend that might use all of them, but the "links" in the chain don't always make sense next to each other and I don't think a human would write this. Read literally, it implies someone deploying an electron app using Kubernetes for god knows why.

If you really wanted to communicate a client-server architecture, you'd list the API gateway as the link between the server-side stuff and the electron app (also you'd probably put electron upstream of chromium).



Every time I see a big chain of technologies as "bad", all I want to do is add more and see where the good/bad separation should be placed. So:

API gateways -> Java servers -> JVM -> C/C++ -> Assembly -> machine code -> microprocessors -> integrated circuits -> refined silicon -> electronics -> refined metals -> cast metallurgy -> iron tools -> copper tools -> stone tools

Anyway, my take is that everything after copper is evil and should be banished.


The fun part is where the chain diverges into separate branches for digital logic and the mechanics of constructing circuits.
