Popularity among whom? The hobbyists? I program professionally with Rust and that entails a lot of web development. Actix-web remains the most comprehensive, vetted solution. You can't compare a general use networking server such as

20 years of anything is enough to evaluate other options. That's perfectly normal and expected. Congratulations on reaching this milestone! While you no longer find joy in programming, aren't the broader goals of why you'r

Coursera is great but you're going to miss a lot of opportunities by limiting yourself to just that platform. For instance, it hasn't been widely advertised, but you can essentially take Steven Pinker's 2020 course at Harvard

I appreciate that the language I'm using is evolving, as well as the libraries and frameworks in the ecosystem. If I fail to keep up because I'm focusing on making the most out of the tooling I committed to, that leaves opportuni

Could you elaborate on why this is any more crucial for microservices than it is monolith?

After more than 20 years of bookmarking, I now accept it as irrational behavior. I don't return to bookmarked and annotated material. Yet, that doesn't stop me from preparing for the moment that I may. Maybe I should stop..

I think we need to acknowledge the fact that Zoom, and its use of cloud infra, took on 20x peak volume of 2019 within just a few months.

Did you iterate to a FSM solution, from many nested conditions, or use it right from the start? I'm fighting the urge to write any FSM without having the absolute certainty that it is needed. There seems no other way than by refactori

Clear and concise isn't dumb. It's more readable and maintainable. The dumb code is the clever code that no one understands and requires weeks of effort to do, and to understand, no more than what the clear and concise code does

I've been putting off writing about similar subjects. This is a favorite genre for me. I often consider path dependence in product development. The decisions we face for any given circumstance is limited by prior decisions and experi
