I have come to learned that there’s no answer to this “problem”. Even if you stick with tried and true framework, eventually that framework aged, and then developers start complaining that the framework is arcane. For example, how many HN r

I feel like Azure should just give up on Cosmos DB and go all in on managed Citus DB.

The problem with using a framework is that the upgrade tax is steep. Every major version change is basically an Armageddon. This is one reason why micro service design is popular, you can throw away everything later.

Frontend development jumped the shark for sure. Why can’t we go back to the old server-side template rendering and use progressive JS for interactivity? Just like the good old days.

No way. I vehemently disagree. When a company reached a certain mass, hardware cost is a factor that is considered but not a big factor. The bigger problems are lost opportunity costs and unnecessary churns. Businesses lose a lot when the p

The politician is totally a thing at large FAANG companies! It took a while for people to figure out their BS and when it's finally unearthed, two years has passed and they are ready to move on to another team or company and repeat the

Ah this must be a new feature? If you could share the docs related to this, I'd really appreciate it.

The 2 things that makes me hesitant about ClickHouse is that: 1. Data rebalancing is not automatic. 2. It doesn't really have a concept of cold-tier pushed to S3 directly, so cluster management is not simple for a small team. Other tha

IMHO, the code is easier to follow than etcd's.

Javalin is the bomb! I don’t know why Java community likes to make things complicated.

Genuinely curious, aren't a lot of time-series workloads OLAP oriented?

by didip 4y ago
Unfortunately not yet, but I am actively investigating.

by didip 4y ago
What about TimescaleDB vs a lot of other OLAP databases like ClickHouse, Druid, Pinot, Databend, etc.? Or hybrid databases like StarRocks or TiDB?

It's time to make server side HTML templating trendy again. I think frontend technology took things too far. Imagine the possibilities of using HTMX and any server side technologies like Elixir, Go, or Rust.

It's always good to give your developers autonomy as the company/team grows in size.

I agree with the general sentiment of the article. It is clearly possible to write a straight forward Java code. See: Sparkjava, Javalin, or Vert.x. Hell, even Minecraft Java code is pretty easy to read. Too bad Java culture is dominated by

If Zap and Zerolog can agree on a common interface, I think the rest of Go world would follow.

This is how Apple operates, no? It makes products that people widely need at a quality that's a class on its own.

I love that someone else also thinks that Celery has grown too big and too buggy. It would be awesome if Airflow starts using this.

I used to do interviews like a competitive sports. From there I got exposed to so many different (often ridiculous) styles of interviews. It used to be kind of entertaining to play those games. I cannot do that anymore because I have a kid.

Nooo! This is how I keep up with new trends in Open Source! Without this, I would never found https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus , for example.

But in this situation, why don’t I just use Go and it’s templating engine? Even faster to develop and slimmer when running in production.
