Every single example he gave looked, in my opinion, better the new way. This entire article is just a vast list of opinions about their interface design disguised behind some inappropriate grand declaration of truth.

Code quality can only ever be as good as your understanding of the problem domain. A more accurate statement would be "Problem domains are rarely perfectly understood."

'encoding/json' is definitely more powerful than Python's JSON package. 'http' is similar. But I will say that 'flag' isn't even _close_ to being comparable to argparse. flag is, like, the bare m

One of the reasons why Go is so unwieldy is because it is designed to be simple. Its very easy to mistake simplicity for elegance; the reality is that simplicity can lead to elegance, but it doesn't have to. Go is an interesting langua

Go is far lower level than Python, which makes the term "low level" fine. Its like calling some color swatch "black" then arguing "that's not black _enough_ to be black". Any definition we give for an abso

We can afford a t2.medium or an m3.medium at the price he quoted, which will have better RAM, processing capability, and probably equivalent networking capability, so that isn't really the takeaway point.

I would say that it strongly depends on the type of requests you are handling. Saying that you can run a 1GB lambda for 1 month nonstop for $32 does not impress me, and its kind of strange that it impresses you. You could run a t2.micro w

And ECR is pretty much just hosted Docker Registry. Try using it versus something like GCR or just Dockerhub and even it starts feeling antiquated.

If you're interested, Stackpoint offers a really cool (seemingly free) service to bootstrap and manage K8S clusters on AWS, DigitalOcean, and Packeg [1]. [1] https://stackpointcloud.com/

I disagree completely. How do you reconcile products like Lambda, Dynamo, Elastic Beanstalk, IoT, Lumberyard... They have a laundry list of products which do meet your criteria of being designed for devops people to bring existing infra in,

I would emphasize that, in many of those examples, Go wasn't a very viable choice when the apps were originally written. Twitch chose Go back at ~1.2 (2013), when Erlang might have made more sense. Today, for companies making a similar

Golang's more recent async GC changes begin to resemble Erlang's per-process GC in how they would affect overall system performance. When people talk about Go's GC freezes, they're talking about the spinup/spindown

I didn't find that Udacity course all that helpful. Especially toward the end, where it could really shed some light on the actually advanced Kube topics, the videos shorten to 60 seconds each and he just glosses over topics without an

Redshift is definitely "based" on Postgres, but its distributed systems components are probably proprietary enough that the concern is valid.

He absolutely deserves the title in this case. What will happen in the UK/Britain over the next decade will likely rival the significance of the Magna Carta, except in a mostly-negative way. And it is his fault.

The world trusts the United States to correctly manage the foremost reserve currency. Many countries trust our military to protect them in times of need. I agree that making it more international is ostensibly a good thing, but in reality I

I really feel like this isn't a general problem, but rather a problem with a subset of development environments. Node (backend) definitely doesn't have a similar problem. Want an express app? Install node -> npm i express --sav

Its hilarious how this comment alone exemplifies exactly what he's talking about when he says that conservative voices are being marginalized in silicon valley. We need to make sure we brand the post with his name so us cushy liberals

Slippery slope argument, but I think its pretty convincing. I'd argue that we wouldn't see it surface directly in any UBI bill, but rather we might start seeing UBI being used as an argument to get other restrictive bills passed.
