I'll let you in on the biggest unsolved problem in computer science. And no, despite the joke it's neither cache invalidation, naming, concurrency nor off-by-one errors. It's not even handling dependencies. It's knowledg

Funnily enough, I had the exact opposite experience: I played with computers all day long as a kid but somehow it never occured to me that I could be a programmer, I used Scream Tracker instead and wanted to be a film composer. After my fir

Occam‘s razor would disagree. While it‘s certainly thinkable that it‘s a honeypot of the FBI, set up from the left (just like it‘s possible that it was Antifa who stormed the capitol posing as Trump supporters), it‘s far more likely this wa

I get what you're saying, but my point is a bit more nuanced: If your goal is to build highly reliable and available services to end users that are secure and scalable with a team of more than 10 engineers, eventually you will run into

I fully agree with your points and would sum them up as "Kubernetes has a steep learning curve, a (quite) large interface and ample opportunities to shoot yourself into the foot with it" (plus, they're very funny). However pl

What's way more important than being smart about security is consistently not being dumb about it. Knowing about the most important dangers (OWASP Top 10) and avoiding them while picking up some best practices on the go yields much bet
