I’ve been busy the past few days, and haven’t been on HN. If you’d like to chat sometime, I just created a Twitter throwaway account: @ancapistani_ (note the trailing underscore)
Shoot me a follow and a mention, and we can chat over DMs if you’d like, or move to another platform. It’d be a lot easier than a long-running comment thread here.
A couple quick thoughts:
> Of course you have built in an escape-hatch for yourself with the 'if I am wrong' bit, so kudos for that. I guess you can use that to have a clear conscience since you appear to have intelligence and empathy enough to know what the consequences are if such a philopsophy fails.
Well, I’ve been wrong on things before. It seems to happen less as I get older and gain experience, but one that same experience leads me to consider the consequences of my being wrong and mitigate them to the extent possible when recommending a course of action.
It only takes one time of recommending a company move everything over to microservices to learn that lesson!
> For what it is worth, the preceding was written in a non-combative stance, so please don't interpret it that way (it is judgmental, though; I can't help that).
Only talking to people you agree with doesn’t make for very interesting conversation. If you didn’t think I was wrong, we wouldn’t be having this conversation!
So no, I’m not going to interpret defending your beliefs as being combative.
