At least in cloud providers, they have secret vaults accessible to their customers. The individual secrets are stored in source code but they're encrypted. We've used SOPS as a valuable way to manage these secrets. You can certain

If you're losing 10x performance then you're clearly using microservices poorly. Our team of like 6 people produces a crap ton of output. We've got something like 18 well written services that need basically no ongoing suppor

Just make it simple. Take the cost of the stadium as a no recourse loan against the team. All of a sudden stadiums get produced with "any" level of scrutiny. It's far too easy to ask for more handouts for luxuries when you&#x

I don't see too many immediate term improvements from what we have today, but I do see GraalVM to be just different enough from mainline OpenJDK releases to question exploring the features of that build (in JVM or native modes). I poke

I got to play around with Tableau when I was helping my wife in a collage programming course and though I don't have a current use to justify the significant cost, I must say that the tool was amazingly flexible and easy to use. I'

I'd say your first comment is very true and your second is very untrue. There will be sectors that will generally gravitate to c/c++, and a huge boatload that won't touch them with a ten foot pole. Corp languages are jvm base

In my youth, I learned basic then Pascal before taking compsci in high school. Despite the fact that I was confident in both, your course supported both languages, but by far the "not a programmer" types chose VB and that was thei

It is as it always was an attitude of trust and defaults. You can get locked down bootloaders that only load windows and specifically signed Linux distros. This is totally fine for the 99%, but still most bios allow you to drop into non-sec

Any company that knows better has done a modernization to get to get off it asap. The legacy nature of the products means that the few outlets that still support them or their mainframes are charging exorbitant rates. How much? I had a cust

I used win2k for like 10 years and continued to play games it as well. I was able to ride on the XP coat tails because between the two, there were only a handful of win32 APIs that were not implemented in 2000. I ended up having to patch a

You could use agnostics vs atheists as an analog here. Most effectively atheist individuals are most likely technically agnostic because they are open to receive new information in order to have their opinions on the matter changed. A hard

Subjective and rhetorical, but yes lots of people think there's too much money on the table to just eschew ads in their products. Let's be honest, Apple has a captive market, and their largest real issue is that they make too much

It sounds about right. At the end of the day, most developers work to produce features. Features and business domains are far less likely to be exciting than technical problems, but the business domain is way more important to adding value.

OpenShift is just k8s with batteries included so the batteries are in a real sense a lock-in to the OpenShift community so take that trade-off as you like. I wouldn't mind, but since your initial post was in the fear of lock-ins, this

Just plain wrong. Twitter is a broadcast distribution platform, like newspapers, radio, and tv before them. You sure as hell blame the companies who broadcast content on their pulpits. You're welcome to hold that opinion for closed 1-1

I believe that Graalvm has the ability to take an optimization snapshot at runtime to both build an initial boot pre-optimized mode but I think this is also how their native image is optimized. I'm not entirely sure if the Graalvm nati

Kotlin (the base language) is really not that different from java. I went from 0 to standing up new backend services with limited friction. Coroutines and maybe frontends are a different story. Java doesn't yet have a coroutines equiv

A monolithic architecture isn't about being the one and only compute tier. It's about defining how many distinct things that any tier does, which is why microservices go well with partitioned teams. Smaller compute business domain
