As somebody who makes webshit at their day job, this is just a little too 
plausible to be funny.

ngl, this is pretty good XD. The part about the 8 programmable chips for
fast React apps had me laughing because I swear `create-react-app` took 5
minutes to finish set up the first time I tried it for a tutorial O_o

I definitely got a good laugh out of this one, but as someone who also
leads a team of web developers for my day job, I have to agree that this
is scarily believable.

I have at least gotten my dev team to use a collaborative
version-controlled Gemini capsule as our team wiki instead of pulling in
yet another bloated web app to share simple textual information with one
another.

Happy hacking (in the slow lane),
  Gary

Well at least it's better than the current thing of "web browsers as a service"
:P

Does this mean we can call Gemini "enterprise grade" software now?

I was trying to ignore that, dammit. My capacity for horror is already 
maxed out by the obligation to learn React for my day job.

Well, it's not a joke anymore...

No, no, it's still a joke. Somebody just didn't get it.
