Maybe you're one of the few lucky programmers who actually build something useful. But I think a lot of developers actually build software that is used by the same people mentioned in the book/article to be more productive at doin

Totally agree, but this is something hard to grasp for many people. What's also important is to realize the external constraints. You should always plan to allow a couple of failures before reaching the end of the rope instead of going

In general the people being lead do realize they have a good leader/manager after some time, even if they tend to underestimate the effort needed to provide that level of leadership. I was that guy that had a great manager in the begin

This! I've been in the industry for 10+ years moving through the ranks in all kinds of setups, from developer to senior management, and I think you expressed nicely the gist of it: The irony is that you don't really notice a gre

I agree with your costs argument, but my point is you can rarely blame the language. If we bring the frameworks in the discussion it gets even more complicated. If you build a Rails or Laravel app in the same way you would build a Java app,

It's usually fast for me with the occasional slow down. From experience (did some code contributions to gitlab) when you work a lot with the filesystem, as is the case for platforms hosting git repos, you will have performance issues r

I haven't touched wordpress in 8 years, but with old codebases you always inherit a lot of bad design decisions that always have an impact on general performance. Maybe the wordpress guys have done a great job in rewriting the internal

Well, github, just to name one:). Also shopify, digital ocean, stripe. I also worked on a large ruby app that was faster than another large Java app. Keep is mind that all these platforms handle a great deal of requests at any given time, s

Agreed, Laravel provides the best dev experience in the PHP world. The funny thing is that Laravel basically took the Ruby on Rails philosophy and applied it to PHP. Just looking at their site it's clear they have a very similar vision

Yep there is experimental support for native windows containers. (Not sure it it's still experimental as things move really fast in this space) As I remember you couldn't have windows and linux containers running at the same time

Not really missing anything, it's just that on macOS you actually need a vm to run docker. Docker for mac uses HyperKit VM and starts docker containers inside it. It's mostly the same on windows (you needed hyper-v or virtualbox
