"Deployment speed" is mentioned there. Many devs forgot (or never knew in the first place) that local development used to be the default and that the waiting time in the cycle "write code, run it, find a problem, write code" should be measured in seconds, not tens of minutes or hours (as is usually the case when devs don't have a local environment), or even days.
This is another (from a long list) hidden cost of complicated "webscale" architectures (not just serverless, but often the case for the plain microservice architecture).
- perrygeo 2y ago> the waiting time in the cycle "write code, run it, find a problem, write code" should be measured in seconds, not tens of minutes or hours I've run across developers who have never seen this in their career; they simply don't believe it or write it off as another old-timer story about punch cards. The bureaucracy of modern software is so pervasive that it's ruined our expectations of basic things like being able to run the software you're developing. That really shouldn't be controversial, yet here we are.
