We are starting to sound like the response to agile being overrated, "you aren't doing it right". These comments never come with suggestions of how to do it right or what is being done wrong. They will never consider the pos

I had a remote manager a few years ago and kind of thought that he didn't ad much value to the process. Then they got rid of him and I had to deal with the company owners directly. Absolute nightmare. Good management is one of these th

Get woke, go broke. Aren't they supposed to be acting in the interest of their shareholders instead of pushing political agendas?

And I suspect you would be a lot less likely to be involved in a crash than someone who had just passed the test.

Can you point me to an example of that happening to date?

Sure.

Have you checked the results it has given you? I tried it with some science related stuff. It literally made up a paper that didn't exist. I pointed this out so it linked to a real paper on an unrelated subject. For coding related stuf

It's also something else that breaks. A lot more than function calls.

More moving part. A network call can fail in more ways than a function call. Also something no one has mentioned until now, the more "services" you have the more of a pain in the arse it is to get a development environment running

Start with a monolith and scale out the parts as needed.

I ended up getting into a few arguments at work with the over excited engineer in my last place. He wanted microservices. I said it was just going to add complexity. The app was already a mess, adding network calls rather than function call

There is a surprise. Why would you give your data to these people?

Will you be taking the next booster out of interest? Rushed out in record time. Tested on a few mice. But sure its safe and effective.

Redditors are a cancer on society. Terrible people.

I can't say definitively. But if you look at the linked article there has been a large increase in cancer since the vaccine rollout. Are you going to somehow tell us that they are safe and effective despite all the evidence to the cont

The more services you have, the more of a nightmare your development environment takes to set up. Network calls are a lot less reliable than function calls.
227.
by collyw 3y ago
Agreed. In my last company we had everything running in Kubernetes, despite having less than 300 active users. It did have some benefits, but scaling wasn't one that we needed and did cost lot of developer time. Debugging is painful.

I bought a decent conventional blood pressure monitor for not very much money (20 or 30 euros from what I remember). Is doing it on a phone special?

Why would you expect an unsealed mask to make a difference? They are a splash guard, not an air filter. Also, he references a study, that appears to be well done. Attacking the messenger is a very weak form of argument.

We just had a problem with caused by docker, and it was exactly the problem that docker was supposed to solve. I find Docker to be a net positive, but it is far from perfect.

Interestingly that is exactly what I was thinking about when I typed that comment. Lot's of promise 35 years ago when I was in high school. Every so often we hear about some breakthrough, but nothing ever materializes.

It's far faster when you can look at the URL and see the parameters. I have worked on systems with both and I didn't like everything as a POST. If you want to get a page with list of objects with a filter it's a lot easier to

Does anyone else find the agile way of doing things just ends up with lots of increments and no big picture of how the system should be or where it should be going? There also seems to be a with with waterfall that it's a one way proce

Replacing function calls with network calls is only going to make things more difficult.
237.
by collyw 3y ago
I feel the same, but docker is actually a net positive in my opinion. You can learn enough of it to be useful in a fairly short period of time, though it does throw up own set of problems that need debugging from time to time.
238.
by collyw 3y ago
Debugging is easier with GET requests, where you can see what is being sent to the server. It's not a huge win, but it's better than POST for everything in my experience.

Facebook seems to be the ultimate in simplicity for small restaurants. Has a number of advantages, like built in chat, picture hosting and a feed of posts.

We had a dev in my last work pushing to microservice everything (small company, only a few developers). I could tell that it was going to cause more pain than it was going to solve. Plus, every service that you add makes setting up a develo
