I do that too. Wouldn't say it's relying on the logic. It's more hearing another perspective. Sometimes I think what it's saying makes sense, sometimes I don't.
I was going to say... if you were an early 90s kid, there was plenty of "don't let the kids be exposed to today's music".
Admittedly I went to a Christian high school, but we actually had a school intervention about kids listening to "dangerous music" like Nine Inch Nails.
I don't think any of us had on our bingo card that 30 years later Nine Inch Nails would be writing soundtracks for Disney movies.
For what I remember, networkization with DOS was a PITA so set up. You didn't have a convenient system API with sockets. You had to mess with interrupts, registers, etc... Your app had to be programmed for your specific hardware, and networking looked more like talking to serial ports than anything else.
Remember that DOS is single process, it is not as if you could run a service just like that. You could mess with interrupt handlers, but you had to do the scheduling yourself, and make sure your code is small, because shockingly, 640k may not be enough for everyone.
MS-DOS simply wasn't a good choice for networking, and not just because of the lack of security. In fact, it could turn out to be more secure than modern systems because of the limited attack surface. No crazy framework stacks here, just your code and the network card.
Zed devs reading this: just release it as GPL. It will be better for literally everyone.
