DEC had a tool called VEST which was used to take native VAX binaries and convert them to run on Alpha AXP. It was very cool technology. A fair amount of the system utilities for OpenVMS on AXP were VESTed VAX binaries. I'm pretty sure the EDT editor was one of these.

The VEST technology could possibly be used to convert native VAX binaries to run on X86_64, I don't know for sure how the endian-ness would be dealt with.

It's the smartphone app that does this. Not the browser app. If you use Chrome, it is theoretically impossible for one tab to get data from another tab.

The "full stack" listed in the article was missing growing the silicon and screwing the servers to the rack. Seriously, the list of what the author considers "full stack" was extreme. Otherwise, I know a lot of people (including myself) who can build you a high-performance web-app from scratch, using current tech and what I consider to be a "full stack" (most of what is mentioned in the article).

The author just cannot afford to pay them. Because that kind of skill comes at a high price. And that's where the bitching starts -- you cannot find a competent, capable "full-stack" developer who wants to work for chump change. People with those skills know what they are worth, and expect to get paid.
