And at the heart of this there will be a database or some other data store that will be very much a pet. A very precious, important and fickle pet. Even if it's "serverless" it will have its own needs and wants. This whole &q

It's precisely this. Later on when the pivot to open offices took hold the management joined in deriding cubicles as oppressive and stifling. Well, mission accomplished. They are now mostly a rarity and a perk at those places that stil

Couldn’t agree more! The crazy, ridiculous Rube Goldberg machines that are being strung together from those AWS components to solve the most mundane problems are getting ridiculous.

Speaking of which, it also changed the decades old symbol for unsaved files (an asterisk) for no discernable reason. Given that it also doesn't save on loss of focus it led to my many WTFs when I first started using it.

3D XPoint is amazing stuff. I'm really bummed out it hasn't taken the SSD market by storm. Even highly technical people fail to understand the critical importance of fast random access for a multitude of problems.

In the nineties we came within an inch of having MS Internet. If IE with ActiveX had succeeded at displacing Javascript we would be condemned to having one corporation controlling all end user internet experience. We should count our lucky

Microsoft makes little children cry. They did the same kind of nonsense to Minecraft Pocket Edition and later fucked up their login process causing my 8 year old to lose all his Minecraft worlds. I hate that company so much for so many reas

Poland is far more walkable and pedestrian/commuter friendly than the US or Canada. It really has to be experienced first hand to sink in. The way that building codes in North America separate the buildings lends the geography there to
