Nothing bewildering. There is simple explanation. Your country's economy going downhill. You are no longer prosperous country you once was.

But why? What advantages we getting?

If there is no some other advantages - it is just bad.

2400 rps on this hardware on hello world application - isn't it kinda bad? And we trading performance for what exactly? Code certainly didn't become any simpler.

Even without pgbouncer postgres uses long lived connections (and long lived processes) . So bad example. Uber famously switched from pg to mysql because their SWEs couldn't properly manage connections

There is hidden assumption what using one tool for everything makes things easier. Does it though? If using one tool is harder than using several - there is no advantage here.

No. It is not nearly as hard as you make it sound. If I had to work with such mess of a project - I wouldnt bother with package managers at all. I just download and commit all dependencies to repo. If dependencies are not supposed to change

In such cases I use either docker or mmdebstrap.

Wow. 1) you can python environment with dependencies! (can do that without nix) 2) you can pin dependencies by hash! (can be done with any tool mentioned in article: docker, pip, npm etc) If you can't make reproducible dev environment

Aren't all those complexeties come more from using c++ than acme? Is base64-encoded number really something to be mad about?

Article about podman, what systemd has to do with anything? What's wrong with docker + watchtower? How is is possible to both use gitops and not "remember" which flags you used for containers? So many questions...

Totally happens in C code too. Maybe even more often. Just today had proxmox not working because of invalid localhost line in /etc/hosts. Or had problem with logging in KDE because /etc/shadow was owned by root. In both

No. This is not the real problem. There is nothing you can do if your 'bash', 'ls', 'cat', 'grep', etc do something they not supposed to do. Proper error handling would be helpful though.

No, even construction projects don't get accurately estimated. Software development is R&D, not a construction - lot more unknowns. It is not skill issue by any means.

Management works. Are you sure people finishing projects thanks to agile and not despite agile?

by Tractor8626 2y ago
Why is this stuff discovered again? Agile not working not because your doing it wrong. It just not working. All agile is cargo cult agile.

Author doesn't understand problem space at all. 1) Weak passwords are not ok even on throw-away accounts. Just because you have no use for it, doesn't mean nobody has. Sending spam, or impersonating you or some other creative use.
