  One of the biggest problems with old tech like @AOL is that they starved their engineers of creativity. too much legal reviews. never ending bureaucracy. now a lot of those engineers are laid off and entering a world that's changed dramatically.

  @FullMetalTrav I was the architect of the AOL help page deployment on the vendor side for 10 or so years. I optimized and redeployed the entire stack more than one time. It took around 52 servers to handle the traffic spikes and was split between 2 data centers w/ failover.

  It’s weird that my Facebook login uses a AOL email that is made by step dad that I have no clue what the password is to that AOL account because I don’t use AOL

  @YourFavWV Never did AOL. I fixed a lot of computers for people who did. Not an impressive cross section of humanity.

  The crazy part about having dial-up internet was we had to add an extra ~20 minutes to our time of arrival because we had to turn on the computer, open the AOL app, sign in, and then wait for that long dial-up tone before going to the MapQuest site to write down directions.

  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  Since I have been casting aspersions on "Agile as Practiced in Nearly Every Project with a Certified Scrum Master", I should tell you about some projects I was on that worked. One on the most interesting ones was during my Network Management product development phase. I was hired by ARINC to work on software for the Iridium project. Shortly thereafter, one of the directors came up with an idea for a commercial product. He wanted a no code drag and drop UI to create a GUI to show and control SNMP values. We went to two Networld-Interop shows a year, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta. He wanted a new minor release for each trade show. The product owner would give the dev team a list of prioritized features. The five developers would meet and decide what we could do by the next release and worked in order of priority. That's it. Simple and effective. The code was written in C/C++ and was written to run on Windows, SunOS, HP-UX, and AIX. We used a OSS GUI library called InterViews. It integrated with HP OpenView and IBM NetView. From a business perspective, the project was a failure. We made sales, but not enough. Eventually the project was terminated an we were all laid off. That is when I was hire by AOL, but that is another story.

  When is this country going to stop the monopoly of the internet giants who control the access & content of emails. Google shut down my access, refused payment, yahoo denied access, now AOL denied access. Google, Blackrock, Microsoft, ramped up their efforts to control us.
