  • It might be better to first learn about existing package managers: build some packages for rpm, apt, pac…etc.

    The fundamentals would be easier to understand from there to figure out what you actually want to write and why.

    At their core, packages are simply just bundles of flat files, and stages of scripts that get executed. That’s it. Like a zip file with scripts.

    Package Managers on the other hand are just clients that deal with the metadata and contents of packages and decide what to do with them. They go way deeper.









  • It’s not about their actual effectiveness, it’s about the justification people use to force more “AI” reasons to fire people, reduce pay, eliminate jobs, and so on, and so on…

    Literally the first point in this speech, though broad, is making that case. A very small number of people are forcing this shit down people’s throats, and using it to justify the loss of monumental numbers of jobs.

    Feel free to look up Amazon’s upcoming waves of layoffs, Salesforce, Google, HP…etc. Amazon alone claims they will be replacing 150k jobs in the US alone in the next year with robots. Again, first point brought up by Bernie.
