This is an impossible counterfactual to figure out. Microsoft crushed Netscape, and it's far from clear that continuing Netscape as it had been going would have had anywhere near the success that Mozilla ultimately had.

I completely agree and think pricing should reflect more of the externalities. Side note: I do not consider myself a "handy" person. Never cared much for fixing things around the house. However, thanks to YouTube and (at least in

I agree that App Engine 2 is a totally different beast with very different features and that the migration path is challenging. I just think that by unbundling the services is a win overall... our application looks more like a normal Go web

I think GCP is a very different beast from the rest of Google and that its approach to business has essentially nothing to do with the rest of Google's. I'd also argue that GCP is different from Google Workspace (Google Docs/

Pretty sure all of my professional work used SCM starting in the mid-90s (CVS). May not have been the norm for solo devs at that point, though.

I like the look of the tutorials you've linked to! This definitely seems like a useful format. One worry I always have when a new tool like this comes out, especially as a SaaS: what's the business model? It's just too much o

I live in a place with fairly snowy winters, which seems like a huge problem for self-driving cars. I completely agree with this thought that we should work on making our roads help the self-driving cars. If we had started that effort sever

> "We only make money when you do" creates a very strong incentive for the organization to make you money. While I agree with this in principle, I look at all of the people who happily put content up for free on YouTube with no

Perhaps the free plan shouldn't be free? Vimeo has a $7/month plan, and that's actually a better deal than what a lot of podcast hosting companies charge today.

Aren't the economics of this off? I have a free newsletter on Substack and I can see how Substack can potentially make enough money on all of the paid newsletters for the whole thing to work out. But video hosting is a lot more expensi

TC39 explicitly rejected this sort of approach a few years ago, because of the unpleasant way it would fork the web. They _did_ automatically clean up some behavior in a module context when you knew you were using a modern JS engine, but th

I don't think we have many redundancies, especially after all of this upgrade work. When we deprecate user-facing functionality, that's done with our product managers making the call, and involves usage data and a lot of coordinat

FWIW, I wouldn't say that nobody is talking about it. In the county where I live, the new county prosecutor moved to eliminate cash bail on his first day in office: https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2021&#x

It is more complex, to be sure. I actually think that we're not yet getting all of the benefits that we'll ultimately get from services. For example, we have one deploy queue still, so we'll likely benefit when teams can depl

Yeah, I knew about that. Tricky bit is figuring out the best way to plug that into our theme and have that particular feed only show up for engineering posts. Regardless, it's totally worth doing because people reading our engineering

Go may be more polarizing than a lot of languages. It makes tradeoffs that aren't as exciting, which turns people against it, I think. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to choose a different language, so it makes sense to figure o

Panics that pop up in our logs are serious problems that we address. If you've got Go code panicking frequently, you're doing something wrong.

This is actually one of our reasons for choosing Go! We recognized that we'd have to come up with a fairly detailed style guide for Kotlin to reflect how we wanted to generally approach things so that it's possible to jump into an

I'm not sure what kind of duplication you're thinking of. _Some_ of the services tax is taken up by our use of Apollo Gateway. When the client requests data that comes from multiple services, Apollo will actually pull that data to
