Putting Apple under disruption not tradition lol
What is this shit? I don't recognize half of this garbage. How is terminal + text editor not an option?
That's just the Emacs logo in the top-left. At least I assume Emacs has a terminal since there's that old "Vim proverb" about Emacs being a "great OS, it just lacks a good editor."

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?
Btw, is this meme old?
Javascript being disruptive technology is.. A take for sure.
When your self driving car is written in react you'll understand.
Self driving cars? Think human interface on spaceships!

Love that the Guix logo is included!
How the fuck is C++ more traditional than C?
To me it looks like to position within each of quadrant want taken into account.
It really seems like the creator didn't bother with spacing at all. Something that did consider spacing within quadrants wouldn't have its items this closely packed together.

I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
NixOS answers that question I always had, "Do I have random residue from programs I uninstalled years ago lying around on my system?", with a resounding "No", and it feels amazing.
Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?
*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.

I use C#, GitHub and arch...
(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)
I was about to say C# seems to be in a weird spot here.
It's entirely FOSS. It does of course have corporate daddy providing dev resources for it but it definitely is not anywhere near the location for proprietary as Java.
It should be well and truly on the same side of this graph as Rust.
On the other hand, if you try to run Java application on linux, you just use an appropriate OpenJDK runner.
When you see a C# app, you just:
- Open the app folder
- See a bunch of .dll's
- Cry

This is a very confusing image
Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is... Yeah, there isn't a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?
Although I would put Chrome under "disruptive". It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it's still changing the browser landscape.
Chrome was disruptive.
Part of the reason for its disruption is that Chromium is open source (BSD licence), built on Webkit that was open source, which was built on khtml from the KDE project which was open source. That is how we got to Microsoft Edge also running on Chromium.
If it wasn't for the monoculture aspect and the actions of some of the companies using it, khtml->Chromium would be a great open source success story.

C++ is more traditional than C? 🤔
I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.
I think there's a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.
some one in the middle
Nah, vibe coders are definitionally reliant on highy disruptive, literally economy destabilizing 'AIs', that are made by the most gigantic of megacorps and foundations.
That would make them so far into soydev they are off the chart to the bottom right, and it would also mean you'd be grilling Impossible Burgers.
