The only relevant question is, how much did it cost?

Architecture is one of the easiest things in programming frankly.

Developers have been lacking taste for decades anyway, like all of those kubernetes clusters built out for companies that could run on a 50 euro a month dedicated server at hetzner.

Sometimes entire businesses collapse to a python dict and a backup UPS power supply

Software-wise maybe, but if their customers could replace them with a Python dict they would. Such businesses usually have value due to their social network consisting of suppliers, knowledgeable employees, and other customers.

Too much vibe coding

You're absolutely right!

I thought you like worked there but with the additional context that you never did, yeah cringe

If you manage to build kubernetes again I recommend you burn it down and start again.

Maybe it's more like how they used to wrap fish and chips in newspaper

I have 3 FilcoTKL's, 2 blues and one brown with ninja key caps. They started to get quite expensive for what they were.

I use an IBM model M today with a Model H controller replacement.

both my kids are using my old Filco TKL keyboards with blues. Absolutely no complaints from either of them. Only issues are that the footpads are getting a little worn down, one is missing, and I think I spilled beer on one many years ago before I gave them up.

I also have the Filco keycap puller. Keyboard cleaned and saved!

I now use a Keychron K2 with browns. My fingers are getting too old to use blues on a regular basis.

They’re great pass-me downs. The rubber feet issue was one I encountered too, also got some sticky keys due to beer!
