> Logging events are the epitome of observability, and metrics and tracing events end up specializations of logging events which only cover very precise and specific usecase. This is a common way of thinking about things, but having now

The key difference is my experience is not about destination - backends are as flexible as you say One key difference is having an event name + properties, rather than a human-readable description and maybe some fields if you’re lucky Anoth

I’m increasingly of the opinion that we should stop using “logging” libraries, and instead we should produce telemetry via events using something like OpenTelemetry’s trace API. These traces can be rendered as strings for people who like th

I'm with the GP here, I'd much rather give them a few days and advise how much time they should spend on it than give them a strict timebox - it allows for a lot more flexibility with other responsibilities.

If I set a take-home test designed to take two hours, and then very clearly tell the candidate to take two hours, and then they clearly spent way longer than that, then I will consider that a signal that they don’t follow instructions well

I don't know if this is the case at Snowflake, but there are similar seemingly misaligned incentives with CircleCI's build-seconds-based pricing model. However, the generally accepted wisdom there was that improving performance ha

Firebug was some truly excellent work - but I think it's worth also mentionining its precursor Venkman - which in turn built upon the js/jsd low-level debugging APIs inside the mozilla suite. https://www-archive.mozilla

I find it very disappointing that this article does not attempt to draw a distinction between state management for complex local states (imagine an image editor), or state management for fetching and updating data via APIs I think the shape

I think a hosted mulit-tenant CI platform appears fairly simple on the surface, but there's actually a lot of complexity under the hood when your product is arbitrary code execution as-a-service - and you want to offer a smoother user

The graph in your link appears to show an operating profit of over $6 billion. What has gone wrong with our world that making a 6 billion dollar a year profit is considered a problem?

Since it's being returned it doesn't really matter whether `.rewrite()` is returning a promise or not. `return await x` is mostly equivalent to `return x` within an async function.

That's surprising to me, because the author of that book recently re-advertised his long post about a hard-line definition of a "unit" test https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=126923 I thi

Some time ago I stopped debating the definition of "unit" in testing, and instead started focusing on whether my tests were fast, reliable, and provided a useful signal about the health of the system when they failed. I've be

Something this articles glosses over is that some of these approaches, especially the way 'All builds are “locked”' is achieved with minimum version selection, and “A little copying is better than a little dependency” are tradeoff

To do this requires some standard way of encoding an AST which includes comments and dividers. That standard format is commonly known as source code - although it lacks a normal form. Tools like prettier, gofmt and black can be thought of a

I really like using tuple, but there’s a couple of things I’d really like to see: - an idea of how much bandwidth it’s currently using or needs. I often find if I’m on a patchy connection it’s unclear how changing the settings will have an

This seems kinda neat - especially for ecosystems which don’t have standard ways to pin tool dependencies (looking at you, go). The pricing makes me concerned though, I have to email about the enterprise plan to try this out on a private re

The fun thing about the docker rate limit is that the layer tarballs are stored on S3 in us-east-1. If you do a docker pull inside us-east-1, you’ll get a direct S3 link instead of a proxied download, and thus neither you nor docker need to

The reason for basically all of the problems you have described is over a decade of systematic under funding by the current government. Continually forcing trusts to make cuts and costs savings result in them running with no slack at all -

Half an hour is 30 times longer than I want to wait for good quality feedback. I’ll settle for under 5 minutes, but I always shoot for 1 minute. 30 minutes is not really compatible with continuous deployment approaches
