no point in differentiating either.
and of course, we all know that apple went bankrupt in the mid 90s after they purchased Be, Inc. and gave steve jobs the finger.

i guess another question is, do we need networking to be secure? or maybe should private messages be delivered another way?

fighting spam and illegal/unethical content is much easier if you have explicit control over who you accept messages from.
the spam problem can't be solved efficiently by maintaining extensive deny lists. the only scalable way to handle spam is with allow lists and trust networks.

i'd say in most cases, having another program in the mix is not the solution unless the problem is inherently technical and other software either misses the point, or solves a different (possibly overlapping) problem. its easy to think that hitting things with keyboards is a universal solution. especially if you have a lot of experience doing that. the common blindness of software people is the human elements that are often handled by other teams which eventually frame problems in technical terms for developers to deal with. then the naive developer goes home thinking they can replace the humans that make their work possible.

i get it. to a certain extent, stability benefits agricultural humans. by now that's baked into the culture quite deeply. sometimes it works even, but when things start to change nobody is prepared. things are supposed to change in an orderly fashion! they plea, horrified with the truth that we are not gods. we are not in charge, we are inhabitants of a world that can adapt to changes on a scale we can scarcely comprehend.

weird shit is normal, what's weird is when folks think stability and permanence is normal.

thanks to the peculiar tenacity of fixed-width typefaces, most programming languages can still be comfortably written on a 50-year-old typewriter. How’s that for backward compatibility?

agile / scrum is fine, but as a tool for developers to keep tight feedback loops with people who don't know what they want well enough to give a formal spec; not as a tool for managers to squeeze productivity.
