The year is 2030.

Computers boot directly into the browser. IDEs are just a web app now, running in the GPU. No one knows why. Or how.

All programs run in 4 nested containers on top of a hypervisor abstracting over the 5 major computational clouds. The last time a branch was predicted correctly, in any CPU anywhere, was 4 years ago.

Cloud costs are withdrawn directly from your retirement fund.

Ext7 just came out, it's written in Javascript and uses AI to guess what the file may contain.

@Reiddragon Yeah, this post is doing numbers and I'm not sure if that's because people think it's funny or because it's true.

I mean, it'll probably be called something different than ext7 - openAI will put their marketing team on it.
