I feel the same way about vegetarians. I don't care what you choose to not eat. If you go around spreading hate for people that don't make the same choice and break up relationships over other people not making the same choice as you, there I have a problem.
>maybe if you say cheeseburgers are the future and you will be left behind
The question being is this kind of cheeseburger enthusiast A) morally reprehensible or B) annoying.
I'm 100% on board with B, and distancing yourself from the annoying dude who ate at McDonalds twice and won't shut up about how cheeseburgers are the future. Not about going on an angry tirade about how cheeseburger people are evil.
It seems like kind of a smooth continuum from a to b. I've certainly given some angry tirades in life regarding things that are merely sufficiently annoying.
But I don't intend to diminish the possibility of existence of morally reprehensible AI pushers.
An old friend of mine got super AI pilled. He's an AI musician now too. When he sends me his latest suno track, that's merely slightly annoying. I haven't cut ties.
It allows them to dismiss anyone who doesn't buy into what they're selling without any actual effort and maintain a superiority complex at the same time. A common tactic these days for all sorts of things - after all, they're logical and rational, and not like those silly normies who are emotional and incapable of being "rational" like them.
I've been a developer for more than two decades. I've worked at four employers during that time, and all of them had significant fractions of devs using Windows. Not vouching for the idea that any of them are "serious" though. I've never worked at a prestige employer or FAANG or anything. Just boring businesses of different sizes. Some are software, and some just do software. But Windows has always been everywhere.
It's a technique I created (someone else must have done it first??) for a sandbox demonstrating a web UI framework I made. https://mutraction.dev/sandbox
To see it work, click "Download self contained .html" from the menu.
The idea is to use <script type="inline-module" name="foo">...</script> to define modules. That's something I just made up. For each such script, provision a blob URL. The main blocker is usually the same origin policy. Crucially, these blob URLs count as the same origin. So then you need to rewrite the imports from the named modules to the blob URLs. I used some regex rather than a proper parser, but it was more than good enough for me.
It seems quite doable to make some proper bundling tools around this concept.
