I didn't get this article. It seems like it contains two things: 1. It was already invented before 2. All the wrong reasons why people decide to use microservices. But author clearly avoided the real reasons why you actually need to sp

I've been a professional developer for more than 10 years and I have similar observation. Most of developers don't use touch typing. And it doesn't seem to affect their efficiency at all. Developers usually don't need to

>Most Americans under 40 would have learned touch typing in grade school That's interesting. Do they really use it though? What I can see from other part of the world that even developers don't use it.

https://github.com/jankrepl/mltype is something like this. It is tuned for programmers though. And the quality of generated text might vary a lot. But it gives reasonable char sequences.

not exactly. Just like with the regular code, most of the stuff done on database are pretty trivial and not resource heavy. And the things that are really perfomance-critical are usually crafted very differently even in SQL

I don't get this argument. You can burn your house, but it doesn't mean you should live in a hotel. The difference is that while I can do it by mistake, Amazon can do it intentionally.

I wouldn't call it bad writing. It is different from what I used to. It is non-linear, which is actually quite common (eg see Hyperion) and I would say not-character-focused. It is more about a concept itself. And even though latter I

This is so wrong. 'they don't want to learn, lets force them'. Understanding that some people don't need it might be waaaay too hard. Majority of people don't need 'more powerful tool', which needs to be l

Good stuff. But I still probably wouldn't use it. Because my cli usage can be roughly divided into two categories: 1. Commands I use often (daily). These I usually know and they are much faster to type than to explain what I want to do

I wonder what you usually write in these notes? I can understand writers/bloggers who can just use it as their motivation tool to do their job/hobby. But for the rest of us, what would you write there every day?

in this particular example at least for me it is easier to read the original code. Even though I don't even know the language they use. And I'm pretty sure this is the case for the most developers with non-zero experience.

Yep. Not only it generates useless comments, for me it is actually easy to read the code itself, than the generated comments in this case. I don't know neither language nor framework they use, still it is completely readable.

Looks like fake to me. No sources. The title says 'ordered', by article itself about 'sold out'. The sold out part is actually true and was reported by multiple sources.
