Drupal [...] does not follow any form of modern best practices.
No it doesn't. Which is why they enforce security best practices - which are facilitated by api functions like filter_xss, MVC design (even in contrib modules), strict coding standards and a move to OOP, amongst other things I haven't mentioned. No best pratices AT ALL there...
What retard thought "caching" means sticking giant serialized PHP objects into MySQL?
If that was such an issue, why not open an issue about it, like others have done? Had you done that, you would additionally understand why the default caching backend was written like that. You should also know that one can write their own caching backend in D7, because of its OOP design. One could imagine that different database servers (Drupal doesn't just support MySQL) behave differently and can't always be treated the same.
And copying Linux Kernel modules in PHP is the most fucked up thing ever.
Care to explain WTH you're on about here?
Out of the box, it looks like shit from 1998, and it's incredibly difficult to customize in any real way.
Just because you're incredibly incompetent doesn't mean that Drupal is incredibly hard to customize. While it's true that UX hasn't been one of Drupal's primary concerns, recently a dedicated UX team was formed to address this. Take a look at the D7UX and D8UX initiatives for example. Also, there's a whole bunch of third party modules to extend Drupal's functionality, great template frameworks like AT, Omega, Fusion and the older but still progressing Zen. All of it hosted on Drupal.org And please give me good alternatives to Drupal modules like Fields (core), Views and Panels - to name a few - in any other CMS/CMF. Good luck with that one.
The problem is that people have been working with so long that it has perverted their brains.
The problem is that your short-sightedness is perverting your brain and your blaming someone else.
"A job like that"? So are you implying it was a bad job? I couldn't agree more. But then how the hell do you conclude from this fact that it's my fault? A few facts:
I didn't know about their infrastructure when I first started there.
I stood up for myself, got angry a number of times.
I got a raise after 6 months, reluctantly though.
Then a new manager came and got rid of me and a few other employees for no apparent reason at all. One of my former colleagues went to court and won.
Oh and if you have actually read my comment, instead of just modding it down, you could have known this had nothing to do with me, I was just too desperate for a job to reject it.
One of them being that everything was poorly setup to begin with
Their tech infrastructure had always been a mess and it still is, from what I hear.
Well, I did say the marketing manager only had mediocre skills. Not up to scratch at all. I understand that was what was meant, although he addressed me directly in his reply. I'm not sure about bonuses, but I do know that her base salary was already ridiculously high. In her case, even more than 3 times my salary.
I did say at the end of my message that this is only my personal experience...
So you're saying they can do their job without PC's, laptops and phones? By the same token, you could say that without me, they'd be out of work. This is why a company has - or should have - multiple departments, all working together.
By the way, they phased me out, they are selling parts of their company and can't find a buyers because people aren't that stupid. I, on the other hand, learned from the experience and now I have a much better development job and a much higher salary.
At the previous company I worked for I was the IT department. There were ~25 employees at the office and 10 shops with another 20 employees. There was more than average maintenance required for the equipment also, because of several reasons. One of them being that everything was poorly setup to begin with. I didn't even have the time to properly fix the setups (yes, multiple horribly setup systems) and I was already working overtime - unpaid. The marketing manager was a girl with mediocre skills, you can probably guess why she got that position. Some of the other managers were actually up to scratch, but not all. On top of that, they were paid at least 3 times my salary.
This is about just one employee and one company, but I'm sure there are too many people out there who've had similar experiences.
According to TFA, WebKit isn't the main cause, but (and I quote):
But a former member of the WebOS app development team said the core issue with WebOS was actually Palm’s inability to turn it into a platform that could capture the enthusiasm and loyalty of outside programmers.

That also works the other way around. What if LibreOffice saves one an average of 5 minutes instead?
Ah, I'd have thought that the gravitational field was even weaker.
You would still be blown all over the place because of the lack of gravity, it just takes a bit longer to accelerate to speed.
Fixing my last 2 links:
Views
Panels

Mod parent up
D'oh. Used square braces..
Bragging about (game) being exploitable.
Just overload them with blog posts of people bragging about being exploitable.
I once got arrested because my parked car was smoking when I tried to start it. The head gasket was apparently broken.
Hm, allow me to rephrase my previous comment
How did he manage to become an exec in the first place?
What I'm wondering is: how did he manage to become a former exec in the first place?
Here's some more perspective: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/astrobio_former.html
Does it include a smartphone app?
Too late, the patenting office already did that, and making lots of $$. Nice try though!
From GoogleTV's Twitter:
can't say for sure but we are working with various networks to bring more stuff to GoogleTV. Keep your eyes peeled.
I wonder what that comment is worth, but I don't think they will make the same mistake twice.

Or maybe there were personal circumstances you don't know about.

Add to the list the intranet and websites. And marketing is not even a department every company needs. Administration is.

The article says slightly ambiguously that WebKit is the basis for WebOS' apps.
