I don't particularly disagree but this theme of ehrmagerd-they-took-err-open-software comments under WASM posts is beginning to look like a meme. > Give me the sources and I'll use my package manager to build the JavaScript app

Sadly I find that most of the "products" posted are extremely shallow and meta.

Also see SQRL: https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm A ton of work has already been poured into it. In particular around the area of "user convenience" features (recovery, reset, forgot/lost, low friction da

The "force to think" part gets real old real fast though. It's fine, people can understand "this function does network I/O so be careful".

This is consistent with my experience. One element of it is also that in many cases the path to "becoming big" starts with bootstrapping and experimental projects that you may not know if it is going to survive and exist in a few

Yeah. If you have to be beer buddies with people you work with you don't understand what professionalism is.

It may not have the "blockchain" exactly but it certainly does have blocks and mentions chaining them together.

Well that was kind of my point. It's not all that often that you need distributed consensus. The popular and obvious case is payments. Another one could be proof of existence systems (prove file existed as of a specific time by publish

Freelancer sites seem to end up in a hostile 3-way fight. Customers, clients, and the middle man each one trying to screw the other two groups. And it gets worse with scale because it turns into a race to the bottom, the good players get lo

> 4. Get together as much as you can on a real "team building exercise" - the whole team in another city for at least 2 days with a great party and lots of eating and drinking on company dime... I deeply despise this trend.

I don't have a good answer for you. But I'd say think about when you need "distributed consensus/agreement" (no central authority).

Most of the similar materials are like that. You could give the transcript of these interviews to a Mr-nobody-Joe-Schmoe and have them say it. And no one would care, if not laugh to their face. It's 90% about who says it, and maybe 1

How would they do CI/CD if it's all in one big repo? I suppose you could do it if you had a very strict rule where absolutely everything that could affect a "unit" was inside its own directory (but never and nothing high

Probably not a bad idea to use another CA for that.

Fun nitpick: Can "double whammy" be used in a positive context? I think it implies two negative things no?
