heh you would be surprised. I literally closed a ticket from 2014 this week which had a lot of relevant information and prior discussion. Without the record of it somewhere I would of had taken much more time. I also always search jira for

Totally. I actually don't know how people that work in big enough organizations can possibly not like Jira (or a tool like it). I would go crazy with the amount of things I would have to remember, their status, how to prioritize, how s

I would say a good path for it is to first prove yourself and then ask to work less hours. I’ve seen that work a couple of times.

How do you roadmap seems to be a question about the process not the tooling. I find the former much more important than the latter. As far as tooling goes, smartsheets sucks and omniplan is really good !

The person at ~15k/month (which is a really good salary) wouldn't only be doing that. I maintain a lot of tools that would cost 1000x if we paid subscriptions per user @ SaaS and it probably takes me 1-2 days per month. We're

Are they OSS by any chance? And what kind of tasks do they do?

This looks really cool. Would you include dev apps in the mono repo too? Say you have 40 services by 20 different teams.

if you know systemd, one of its many functions is a single stop systemd controller for all of your infrastructure. Then it also gives you a single way to control storage, monitoring, load balancing and deployment from a single API. It'

You seem to not know about blender or krita too but commented anyways

The book "Art of Happiness" surely agrees with this title, it has the points of view of science and religion (Buddhism) on it and reaches the same conclusion. Great book.

You can tune how the linux memory allocation works, I've done some changes in a couple of servers (couldn't find which settings in the 60 seconds I google), might be worth investigating in workstations too. (Not saying it is ergon

I like it. I don't use facebook/instagram very often (open maybe once a week?), all my interactions with people have been through stories this year. I like that it is a DM when I reply and that I can easily skip, I also like that

sublime text and/or pycharm?

Because, maybe, like in every big company, the thing actually doing the work is some old oracle database with some huge monolithic around it...

Gotcha, thanks! bad reading from my part

I thought Clojure also required a JVM! Maybe to both haha

A fintech that I am aware of chose Elixir and is a complete shitshow, they're trying to move away from it after being established with it. Can't hire for it, can't refactor the code at scale, etc. Be careful with what you rea

Which one was the least productive language, Java or Clojure ?

by aprdm 6y ago
> wise developers are going to (ultimately) _demand_ Clojure. Lol. I guess your definition of wise developers is very different from mine.

Can you expand on "If I came across a codebase like that today, I'd likely be quite vocal on reallocating the evidently outsized engineering budget to some more productive use" Like, Google (or other company) still has to del

It isn't this simple. You have millions of LoC already written, docs, onboarding, hundreds of teams with different opinions, training people in a different tech stack. In green field development or smaller companies, sure, I however do

This isn't true for internal software tho, user facing, sure, but, chrome dependencies have a version pinned to them.

What will change...? A lot of F500 companies have a lot of infrastructure and changes are not fast.. HPC industry is another one of those. Unless you mean startups?

I ctrl + f and saw no mention of rocket chat, is it no longer trendy? Have been using for a while on prems and it sort of just works. Good on Slack I guess! A very nice exit.

In this case you just do it from scratch :) I didn't use any external libraries. You generate a PPM image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm and then open the image from anything that opens a ppm image (open in

This is a really great book! I went through the first one and implemented it in Rust. Was a great learning experience both in ray tracing and in Rust (my first ""real"" project with it). I really recommend! Much cooler (
