Lots of major companies still today don't have a global deployment platform. A lot of stuff is still very centralized because the complexity of managing infrastructure multiplies with the complexity of the existing infrastructure.

Nice, standardization is essential. Without it things could get overly complicated and hard to develop technology to support the consumption of data outside of the convention. Although I would assume that there will be updates continually t

The problem with most companies and monoliths is they broke the first rule of engineering, keep it simple. A tool or service should have one purpose in mind. Mutli-tools are fine if they are used infrequently, but not one tool should share

Yeah no I get you. You just want a monolith to be purposeful when you design one. Not multi-purposeful. This is also at the limitation of a programming language. I am kind of kubernetes guy, but I am dying because it relies heavily on a vir

Nah this will totally be an issue. You can be on the extreme end of replication or the extreme end of sharding and experience performance problems. Sharding is more likely to hotspot depending on where hot data is consistent. The solution i

Sure, but I feel like this was because of feature creep more than anything else. Most common thing people use it for is posting and reading. If you fake feeds as if they are real-time then the viewer will never know there was a system outag

Depends on the purpose of the application though. Monolithic is a good architecture when you have a few purposeful features and functions. But when your design relies on many services to provide a wide variety of features you need to break

This is true. I completely agree with the minimized scope. However a dev needs to be careful to not let their service just sit unmaintained. New teams will always need engineers to maintain and improve.

You talk as if monolithic apps are vastly superior. To be forward it depends entirely on the purpose and life of the application. It is about whatever shoe fits the design.

I think this idea hurts the industry. Don't get me wrong. I think it is important to hire the right people, but if you don't hire enough people this 3 man job is 80-100 hours a week per for months to years. Look how X has diminish

It all comes down to hiring the right people. The problem with remote is many companies hire the wrong people so they end up not doing the right thing. Then all of the people who are good get punished.

14 million doing not so complex things is an easy achievement. When you get into a lot of microservices providing tons of features your teams will balloon.

Another fix is taxing companies more proportionate to the fire/layoff sizes. Laying off employees to raise bottom line profits also denies the Government from collecting taxable income which most people can't tax evade like larger

A lot of people pay for reviews. Movies are no different from video games and other stuff. You quickly find out who is paid to win when the whole media under review is quite opposite of the review itself.

You really should only have to buy software once. It is quite dumb that we have to be subscribed to everything. This is what makes me use open source everything. Subscriptions are services and if I need a service to write documents FML.

When you're starting off as a small business the whole concept of security escapes most people. So you have to first control your network. Once you have that in place you can make the important changes for security. Probably my fault f

CVEs are typically listed by their threat level of the problem. You can probably fine hundreds of non-critical CVEs in many base containers for applications so even PostgreSQL will have it. The best thing a company can do is ensure there is
