This post is exceptionally well written. I have rarely seen technical explanations done so clearly.
- JMTQp8lwXL 6y agoI wish I had this skill. I'd probably be twice as valuable to my employer if I could communicate technical concepts with this level of clarity.
- mrkurt 6y agoI am lucky enough to have read the drafts. These articles are a huge grind. Most of the skill seems to be putting the time in and having enough experience to go as deep as necessary.
- keyle 6y agoI agree, I'm not even that much into docker stuff, but I couldn't stop reading. It was a fun read: took me on a journey, I learnt stuff and I feel more intelligent now.
- richardfey 6y agoI did not like the rhythm. Lots of consecutive short phrases. What works well for HN comments doesn't everywhere else? :)
- tptacek 6y agoIt's funny, if you look at my drafts, most of what I do is just shortening sentences. (I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm fascinated by good writing, so this is an interesting comment, and I appreciate it).
- sneak 6y agoYou are a particularly good writer and reading your writing over the last ten years has made me a better writer thereby.
- RulerOf 6y ago>most of what I do is just shortening sentences "Less is more" they say :) I'd really like to use Fly for a project that is supposed to go serverless, but may never evolve out of the "Docker on EC2" phase of life. Have you had any third-party security audits done? It'd check a lot of boxes for me.
- tptacek 6y agoI'm happy to talk through security stuff for Fly (I have a background here); feel free to reach out directly.
- tyingq 6y agoI like that it comes across as competent without sounding boastful. There's obviously pride in there, but balanced with honest commentary about parts that aren't perfect.
