How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?
Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?
After 
@bevangelistJohn Bevan 🤔 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ✊ told me about 
@mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.
But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #foss… https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/
I read another tech take just now that essentially says
"everything the [aerospace|car|construction|...] industry has learned the hard way with regards to designing com0lex systems safely is wrong, so let's just throw those lessons away"
It hurts in how mind-numbingly stupid that is.
There are differences, sure. But the differences people think of as truths are largely wrong. Most notably, there's nothing intrinsically different about a complex system involving tonnes of metal...
... suspended in air, and a complex system consisting of globally orchestrated microservices, *as a system*.
The problem is, people in tech don't tend to have a systems thinking background. It's something they're thrust into and figure out, and that's part of why we chase silver bullets: someone threw something against a wall that stuck long enough, and we call it best practice. Until it fails, and the next accidentally discovered thing takes its place.
Mind you, the major difference...

For the Y2K, we weren't allowed to change any of the original code running on the AS/400. That code was always off-limit, and had existed since the 1970s as far as I know.
We created an intermediate tool that would look at transactions going into and out of the database.
When data was coming out, we'd convert the dates to 4-digit years. Then when data was going in, we'd convert 4-digit years back to 2-digit years.
I have no idea if 26 years later that is still in place. I suspect so. But the thought that banks will authorize AI and "vibe coding" to magically replace all this off-limit code running on the back end is hard to believe.

日露戦争（1904年〜1905年）において、日本が費やした戦費は約18億2,600万円（当時の国家予算の約6年分）にのぼり、その大部分を国内外からの負債（借金）で賄いました。
負債の主な内訳と特徴
外債（外国からの借金）: 戦費の約4割にあたる約8億円をイギリスやアメリカなどからの外債で調達しました。
高橋是清の尽力: 当時の日本銀行副総裁・高橋是清がロンドンやニューヨークで交渉し、ユダヤ系銀行家ジェイコブ・シフらの協力を得て募集に成功しました。
高い利息: 日本の勝利が危ぶまれていた開戦当初は信用が低く、年利6%という高い利子に加え、関税収入を担保にする厳しい条件でした。
内債（国内での借金）: 残りの多くは国内向けの「軍事公債」の発行などで賄われました。国民に対して広く応募が呼びかけられ、零細な資金まで総動員されました。
