   Quite right, I warn sharing what 100 million flies like to consume and   
   I'm sceptical about influencers. It's funny to read you, programmers   
   are a dying race. I like your insights and others here. Forth gives me   
   a grounding what's important. There exist much knowledge about   
   programming and languages but I've read the deeply frustration of   
   Wirth about ignoring his warnings of wasting ressources by lazy   
   programming, same observation made by Moore 60 years ago.   
      
   It's business driven subject and "Forth's the last resort of DIY" said   
   Moore :). Now you have a right to repair thing. A right to stop the   
   wastings in software maybe take another fifty years. Most younger   
   people are not interested at IT-jobs told me Heise-ticker today, I fear   
   not the dying of thinkful programming. Somebody sent me an   
   Chatgpt-comment to his script, an editor macro. Friendly blah an   
   commenting like this line of code do this and that line do that. He was   
   very impressed how intelligent the commentary was. Ok, that's a result   
   of working with 100 languages I suppose, you better take two or five   
   and really try to understand it and I didn't think at Python.   
      
   Hundred of planes cannot start because it's software is not actualized,   
   hello Chatgpt, "Even with slimmed-down software, it takes around a   
   year before the *** built on stockpiles are delivered." Brave new world.
