When your self driving car is written in react you'll understand.
Self driving cars? Think human interface on spaceships!

I'm sure Musk hand coded it in JS and then paid some underpaid dude who is only slightly less abused in the US instead of india to unfuck his dogshit.

I'll understand briefly, as my life flashes before my eyes? Haha.

It always disrupted everything, and is getting only better on that with time.
Disrupting my low ram usage
It definitely is/was. Most user facing software these days is a web app, or native application using JS anyways. The event loop and async programming is also ubiquitous nowadays in most languages, especially server side.

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 think it's not meant to be more traditional, the icon positions seem random and only the square they're located is important.
C was incredibly disruptive 50 years ago.

This is a very confusing image
Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?
*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.
So what you're saying is that... he is either from, belongs to, or should be placed on...
... another plane of existence?
lololololollool

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.

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...

what are the concentric circles above Linus?
That’s Zen, a Firefox-based browser https://zen-browser.app/
lol that's why it looked familiar. I use it but my icon has been broken for a while.

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.

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?
Btw, is this meme old?
What is the software between Linus and rust? Never seen that icon before
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)_/¯)

C++ is more traditional than C? 🤔
I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.
What is this shit? I don't recognize half of this garbage. How is terminal + text editor not an option?

rust is more proprietary than linus.
Amazing how RMS is now on the traditional end of traditional to disruptive.
