Awesome! Super excited to try this out properly now.

Wait, how new is the new free plan? A co-worker of mine linked me this recently saying it might be good for some internal tooling (which I totally agree!) and I wanted to hack around with it in anger on my own first before being comfortable

I definitely think that's an aspect of it, but it's not one we can really do a whole lot about. The nature of what we do and the skillsets we have mean when we encounter problems we then come up with solutions and those solutions

I think the critical aspect of whether or not you need them and hence whether or not they represent a good set of trade-offs, is on what dimensions are you optimizing for. My previous employer was a small engineering org of around 40 engine

I often see the discussed, but I've not seen any benchmarks testing throughput of concurrent writes in SQLite compared to Postgres, so it's hard to know exactly how far WAL mode make it scale before it's simply the wrong tool

My 2c is that an experience architect would know that it would be ideal if they could do this and be right, but in practice they aren't likely to get those boundaries correct up-front and it takes time and experience working in the dom

It turns out the secret is just not writing crappy software and having crappy processes. It turns out the caveat is that the conditional probability of those two things is vanishingly small, so regardless of monolith or microservices, most

This is exactly what the author is talking about. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes I like to trot out often at work - "There are two kinds of software: software people complain about, and software nobody uses." You see o

Two things come to mind here. First is the urban myth (well, I don't know if it happened or not) of the student arriving late to class just as homework assignments are being handed out, and the student diligently works at the problems

This starts off very strange and quirky and the moment it clicks was a very magical one for me the first time I watched it many years ago. It's one of my all time favorite talks.

For sure. For me it's about ratio's though. It never makes sense to me when I encounter situations where 100% of capacity is dedicated to features, features, features when sustained velocity is in the toilet when it feels like we&

I hate having to ship features when I just want to work on improving reliability, doing upgrades, improving DX and clearing all the crap out of the way that's preventing us from otherwise shipping.

Yeah this is probably one of the biggest pain points, but modern tooling is really helping to the tide on this. Dependency management is never fun in any language, and .NET has some quirks which make it a challenge as you say. I switched to

Also it's worth noting that these conditions often travel with friends. I have ADHD and the switch to fully remote work nearly wrecked me completely. It took a long time to work it out but although I've always known I have some an

I think it's somewhat disingenuous to compare DevOps requirements of 5-7k/m projects with systems run and operated by companies in the mid market. That said, something I often wonder about is if you could minus out 100% of the cru

Integrating with other services makes your software more brittle as there are more points of failure from hardware and networking on your end, to API gateways, networking, and hardware on their end. Periodically those things tend to go side
