The users that you have but are not paying: what they're complaining about or find a lack of? Are there any emergent patterns? Or everybody wants basically something completely different?

100%; it's probably wise to default to better-to-be-conservative-than-sorry policy, at least as of now.

Sounds pretty powerful, but it's probably better to be used just to generate initial tests and then guide it manually - determinism. Has anybody tried it and can comment on how well/bad does it work?

Thanks :) It's a surprisingly simple algorithm for such a complex problem

Great write-up - what I would add is that this algorithm rest on the assumption that all nodes are behaving honestly and are not malicious. Which of course is true for most distributed systems we build, but is not true for public blockchain

It's not YouTube though, but downloader :) "yt-dlp is a feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader with support for thousands of sites. The project is a fork of youtube-dl based on the now inactive youtube-dlc."

True, that's why I titled the article "Modular Monolith and Microservices: Modularity is what truly matters". Modularity is crucial here - you can mix it up on multiple levels; having a single modular monolith, a few bigger s

Thanks for the feedback :) I'm working on follow-ups, splitting it into multiple articles where I will try to elaborate more on various dimensions of modular monolith vs (micro)services debate/issue/decision and their various

If you have each module as independently versioned package, the compile times are not slow, since you only need to compile modules that have changed and modules are provided as compiled dependencies. Each individual module is fast to compil

Unless you have a lot of teams - like 10 and more - it's quite manageable to work on a solidly modularized monolith. But in general you're right; after your reach certain threshold of teams, it makes sense to have a few, not one,

by BinaryIgor 11mo ago
That's the strongest argument I can see; once you can get above 5 - 10 teams, you run into the organizational issues. But again, most systems will never be there ;)

100%; and if you have a solid structure in your modular monolith - it's trivial to take one or two problematic/performance sensitive modules and turn them into independent services. But most of the systems will never get up to thi

If you go up to this scale then yes - it probably makes sense to have a few - reasonably amount - services. But I would ask - why does it take for this kind of app to be up and running so long? It's rather not because of its code size

Interesting article, but isn't the main HTMX use-case mostly where you want to make server do most of the work, that is Remotely? As you literally render its responses directly - HTMX pages and fragments - instead of doing HTML -> J

Very wise; have been following this approach since years and I highly recommend it. This one (from the article) is a gem: "I’ll work like I might stay forever, and like I might leave tomorrow" Besides practical benefits of this ap

In some ways Stack Overflow feels dated, but in some ways I hope it will go on; I still often prefer responses found there from the AI's. It also brings the recurring theme of what the LLMs will be trained on when people create less an

Interesting - I guess the main problem would be that most people do not have their own domains and use something like gmail, outlook or apple for their email; you would need to convince those big players to implement this standard as well;

Interesting, but I'm not totally convinced that searching for LLMs is different than for us (humans). In the end, we both want to get information that's relevant to our query (intent). Besides, I wonder whether there will be able

Got you :) I advise you to work on it and get over it - it's far more satisfying to mostly (not always) write about things others are interested in; people find value in your work and you have more impact at the same time; it's an

By performance anxiety you mean checking views and clicks? What's wrong with that? You should care whether people read your stuff ;)
