Who is the guy in the top left?

Thanks. Thought it was Steve wozniak
No man, Woz has a completely different beard.
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.
I'm also replacing Github but I'm waiting for Forgejo to implement federation
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.
C++ is more traditional than C? 🤔
I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.
it's definitely generalized, but I'd say I fit the disruptive open source type, though i respect the trad open source guys a lot.. But, like.. as of currently, I can't even call myself an actual programmer seeing as I write stories instead of code nowadays..
Definitely would like to balance the two someday.
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.

Where does golang go?
In the trash where it belongs.

You know when you see some bait and go "that's bait" but somehow you're still angry? No? Well I do
Apologies for the bait. Saw the shot and took it.
Somehow it goes in both the cogdev and hypedev corners at the same time.
That seems only appropriate for a language that's both typesafe and has any
I'm rocking a Thinkpad x200t running GNU boot bios and parabola GNU+Linux-Libre with DWM free from soystem-d and I program C and C++ in emacs
Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...
You would need entire new compass to place vi, vim, neovim, lazyvim, spacevim, lunarvim and so on on it.
those are just neovim configurations it's like saying each hyprland dotfile is a different compositor
There is Neovim but yeah, not the same thing.
I've noticed that, too.
