Man, just let it go. More you try to block Epic or any other, more you are pushing people away from yourself. Be Apple, innovate, give us second iPhone moment so you wouldn't worry so much about revenue drop in services. Or make paymen

Do I still need to worry about vacuum and bloat or does Neon intelligently handle these?

Just for the tradition, I would like to leave a comment: "I don't see how this will work. There is nothing here you can't do with Postgres schemas"

10x = It takes 10 people to clear the mess they left behind. In my 15 years of career, all people I have seen who were referred as 10x were the people who took terrible shortcuts to deliver whatevs they try to deliver and when it comes to b

It increasingly feels like the decisions taken and the work done at Shopify API / Libraries / CLIs / Docs etc are done for promos, rather than thinking about DevEx of people who try to build reliable product on their platform

I think the SRE role in Google is the best implementation of the role. They have 2 tracks called SRE-SWE and SRE-Systems Engineer and actually both are expected to write software majority of their time, only difference from normal SWE is wh

Postgres has index concurrently which is better or few other instant things which MySQL 8 also has but you still need to be careful. But some things like adding a column with default value is still hard. https://www.braintreepaym

No, especially on large tables with billions of records. They make online schema changes impossible. More details: https://github.com/github/gh-ost/issues/331#issuecomment-266...

Whether Leetcode is necessary can be discussed but this person doesn't add anything to the discussion. Almost disconnected 7 paragraphs of text and the conclusion is FAANG and S & P 500 needs to find a way to assess without Leetcod

I am sorry for the experience, I hope she beats it quickly. I feel like the secret agenda in the UK is making NHS so bad, people would beg to have some sort of health service, costs a fortune like US but at least cuts the pain. So, although

Which Uni you had the masters from? Would you suggest them?

I skimmed through it but still didn't see any part describing how is the local dev env is? Let's say that you work on a service that does something for ad serving, how do you write code for that and test it? I understand unit test

The problem I see is especially in small / mid level companies' contexts, directly trying to jump to DDD usually ends up with a really weird, half-assed implementation. On top of that, it's usually hard to get people up to sp

Hi, looks really great! Thanks for this great piece of tech! I have a question regarding the migrations, in the website you say it's safe to run them with automated flow, we know it uses Postgres under the hood and we know that sometim

Yeah, I was talking for the perm roles. If you go to the contractor route, 600, 650 is quite doable. For higher as you said, it's networking, how people see you and what kind of projects you delivered. Depending on the person, it can b

Speaking for London, if you would like to have £180K+ FAANG or Hedge Funds / Trading is your only option and unfortunately they ask leetcode questions. Some of them go crazy and ask hard, some like Facebook ask easy / mid but want

I had pretty similar story when I was at Apple, as an SRE. I haven't been in the company for long time, so just before he was making prep for putting me on PIP, handed my resignation, with a salary and title bump. Sometimes you just jo

I guess with 8 something years at Meta, if the RSUs were not spent stupidly, considering the stock appreciation and the refreshers, it would be safe to say this person's net worth is at least $2M.

Thanks for the answer!

Great work! The part I don't understand is how do you find the motivation to write such time taking things? Outside work? At work? I guess you don't know whether this would be profitable or not, how do you stay motivated?

is this the latest pivot? are we going to see another completely different business in 3 months?

It's for the SRE roles. The continuous change of frameworks, languages etc happens in SWE world as well but I guess the difference is when you're making those changes you have necessary support around you. Your team / group h

Is there anyone using it in a schemaless way as in you provide a SaaS service and your customers can send you JSON with various different fields? As far as I remember Sentry uses it this way and people leverage arrays for such things?

Ok, but most of the time you would like to test that change on a copy or almost up to date replica, to see measure things like how long it does take. If you were copying the data, with things like PII filtering, to the branch development da
