      That’s worse. If someone was telling me about “google or microsoft stacks” without explaining what it is, I would laugh.

      Are you talking about OS, mobile OS, GUI, web, SaaS, APIs, services, subscriptions, servers, cloud, VMs, …? What the fuck is a stack? Stack is a term that has been stolen by web devs and means nothing anymore.

          You tell me. What is a Google stack? What is a Microsoft stack? The other guy was talking about a “tech stack” which practically means nothing.

            Google’s stack is the services they provide, so google docs is an example, google drive, hangouts, gmail, that bunch

            And the mirror from microsoft like m$ word, outlook, their cloud i forget the name of, minishit teams

            That type of shit, what else would i be talking about? It was very clear from the beginning

              what else would i be talking about

              I’m a programmer. I was expecting languages, OS, open-source, APIs, file formats. What we have been calling “stacks” for the past 30 years but which has been hijacked by web devs.

                We’re talking about more common folk, not whether a 5 line piece of code is memory safe in rust, which common folk don’t care about

                With this im referring to more of what i could call a software stack

                … stacks… hijacked by web devs

                Theres not just 1 kind of stack :^) its not static, you should know this
