We don’t talk a lot in public about the big vision for Tailscale, why we’re really here. Usually I prefer to focus on what exists right now, and what we’re going to do in the next few months. But let’s look at the biggest of big pictures for a change.

Although I don’t know that tailscale is necessarily a good example of permacomputing, this article touches on some interesting ideas about the nature of tech centralisation.

    The problem is that many modern frameworks are developed by massive tech companies for massive tech companies. They need the million rows, so the frameworks are optimized for that. Many developers choose those frameworks to be cool. Also learning abut those frameworks helps in the next jobs and managers love to copy the “cool” big tech companies. The simple truth is that for many projects a monolith with a simpler framework is enough to handle the load and those are around too. For desktop it becomes even easier, as a bunch of old frameworks are still under development and work perfectly well.
