Microsoft is taking the next steps in its "One Windows" vision with an internal project called "Andromeda OS" that turns Windows 10 into a modular platform and lays foundations for the future of Windows. Not to be confused with the galaxy, the starship, or the Google code name

Didn't they try this before with windows xp embedded?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Wasn't that just letting you not install things like calculator or windows media player on top of the normal image customization that they let IT depts do? Basically just a lot more control of user facing bits vs ripping out big chunks of what was build as a monolithic OS.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IIRC, the customization level was greater - you could add/remove various subsystems - video, network, etc. You also built a system containing only the drivers needed - no detection of new hardware.

Both Flow and TypeScript are pretty good, and conservatively either of them can prevent about 15% of the bugs that end up in committed code. This is my shocked face

Upgrades should require 'little or no refactoring' for most projects, but there are some breaking changes. Just in case this is your cup of pre-JavaScript
And TypeScript isn't your type, and Dart misses the mark. OK, I'll get my coat now.

Current programmers should adopt several attitudes that early mainframe developers considered an essential part of their skillsets. Don't shuffle the cards before submitting?

Oh those are really great ideas!
I like to provide users with a non-usable command-line interface.
And maintenance programmers with code highly optimized for non-readability.

Modern software development costs are a fraction of what they cost back in the 70s so isn't relevant to today. I'm sure there's not a single developer who is aware of the costs they incur doing their jobs.
With today's modern compilers, unit testing frameworks, testing tools etc it is getting easier to write more robust code with fewer defects. I don't think there's a single developer who consciously sits down and thinks "I really must add some more bugs to my code". Surely this just goes without saying.
However, I think optimising up front is a good thing. By aiming for efficient code, you need to design for it, as oposed to just writing code from day one that sucks and refactoring later (if you ever get the chance to go back that is).
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
