One of the best articles about software engineering ever written. They should pin it to the top of the HN front page :P

Makes a great deal of sense. It was basically the original idea (when compose was fig). Oftentimes though, people cling desperately and aggressively to existing complex systems...

You can, but there needs to be a large amount of capital allocated to a foundation, which can then fund it in perpetuity. It’s a bit surprising that didn’t happen in this case. Feels like his heirs have different ideas for how to spend his

If anything deserved the black bar it was this. Shameful that it didn’t happen.

He's one of the first developer bloggers. He wrote a load of famous articles, the echos of which you'll have been exposed to even if you've never read them. His first set were from his time at Amazon: https://sites

He had to take it down. It was only accidentally posted to Google Plus. Though we all benefitted in the end, because it's absolutely excellent.

LSP was clearly inspired by Grok.

I've watched that Grok video a dozen times and drooled at the possibilities if it were available to the world at large. And now it is!! It'll also be nice that people will remember that Grok came long before LSP :P

Yup, buried half way down the page this is the simple answer. Cheap money means people can and do borrow more.

This is the case in the US because rates are the same for the length of the loan. This is decidedly NOT the case in the UK, where the entire market is composed of teaser-rate loans (2, 5, 10 year), which revert eventually and then need refi

Guns, Germs, and Steel, which is once of Noel's heavy influences, is absolutely worth reading, too.

The first half of Homo Deus is basically a rehash of everything but the last chapter of Sapiens. And the last half is basically an expansion of the last chapter. It's still great, though.

Really great article. I've walked the same path and thought the same thoughts, and always felt somehow that it was just me. Here's hoping that Copilot lowers the barrier for all developers - especially ones who just have a small s

I know that Microsoft are all about grabbing as much developer mindshare as possible these days, but does nobody remember Steve Yegge and is Grok system at Google? It's basically this, just ten years ago. Having the IR not throw away a

The vast majority of money is created by commercial banks. They are, largely, free to do so to whatever degree they deem fit, and the central bank adjusts reserves to match. Almost all money is debt, created by extending loans in this fashi

Is this a frontend for Grok - the thing that Steve Yegge built?

Hadolint is nice. Hadolint addresses none of the major issues you raise.

I always loved this piece on this topic: http://ozzgod.com/dynamicrange/death.html , which has been moving around the internet (my old link was dead, and even it was a copy of the original) for as long as I can remember

> I'm in the container camp because serverless isn't cheap and you can't have long running processes. Do you think you'll have the same opinion in five years time? Or how about three years?

Lambda is too expensive at the moment, sure. But I think we all know that the costs will, over time, go through the floor, and in 5 years time nobody will want to create server software using anything else.

Yup. This is the origin of this idea.

Sounds like you've had some experience of at least one large codebase in Go. Care to elaborate the sticking points?

I didn't find the article all that convincing. Just a general FOMO smell, and not much substance to back it up. Nothing deep.
