It does seem expensive but I'm not sure it really is.
If you figure in the cost of hosting an enterprise application and database and then have the option for rapid application development, there are a lot of scenarios where it makes sense, I think.

Sure, it's probably perfectly reasonable for enterprises, and even if it isn't, they won't notice €22K more or less 
Then again, enterprise customers could probably pay for "regular" developers as well.
And those 22K isn't the end either, an application still has to be built, by less knowledgeable "citizen developers" (or often regular developers).
That's when the costs add up.
And when it's all done and running you may find development costs weren't all that much cheaper and even if they were you'll have paid another €100+K in five years just on hosting anyway
But my customers aren't enterprise customers.
Like I said, that startup went down on the costs of their hosting alone.
A lack of customers doesn't even have to be the problem if your costs are low (I offered to do it for the same initial costs and then host it for €50 a month).
For them it meant the end of their business as the app they build wasn't portable and only ran on BB (another reason I told them not to use it!).

I'm glad I'm close to retirement. After all, I'm apparently not necessary any more.

Half of developers do not think logically.

A physicist loses half the value of their physics knowledge in just four years whereas an English professor would take over 25 years to lose half the value of the knowledge they had at the beginning of their career I'd post a JavaScript framework that answers the question, but it's already obsolete

Sophisticated hackers and crooks are developing more tools to target Linux-based systems used by government and big business. With great popularity comes great attack volume
Or something like that

We’d like an easy way to judge open-source programs. It can be done. But easily? That’s another matter. When it comes to open source, you can’t rely on star power. 10/10 Would blurb about again

Makes nVidia bigger than Intel, and with Apple's recent announcement that they're switching to ARM chips in their computers, it injects a bunch of cash into their bank account.

Only true if you had an alternative to avoid the second deception. But the vast majority of users pissed off or fvcked up by Microsoft have no real alternative because they have no idea about computers and can't use (Linux) or afford them (Apple).

In software, we spend a lot of time working in the analytic "thinking space", a place where we are taking things apart and trying to figure out how they work. Once upon a time, there were three little data reports...
And according to my manager, none of them are "just right"
