With such high salaries I'm not sure if there's any place on earth other than SF that can come close to the standard of living you will live with $48k in Indian metro city.

Can you write about your experiences? I'm sure plenty of people like me are interested in this space but don't know where to begin. What was your background? How did you first start? What are the problems you solve?

A lot of my friends and colleagues in Japan rarely cook at home. Food from convenient stores, supermarkets is often good, cheap and healthy here

> My biggest concern with K8s is how the entire ecosystem is a costly affair. Can I run a service with multiple nodes for 10-50$ per month? If your service can run on few nodes, do you really need a scheduler like K8s? Why not go serverl

That would trigger a restart, no? What if you want to live debug without restarting the scratch container?

It would be better to measure response times in percentiles. Not saying you will get a different result in your particular case, but it's a more accurate representation of what is actually happening.

The main idea with Google creating K8s was to commoditize it's complement. Now they are pushing for Anthos with is basically GCP with BYOD on-prem (or other vendor) hardware. So what you will see is people using Hetzner like services w

How is Hetzner not a cloud computing business? You click a few buttons and get a a ready-made infra from an already provisioned pool of hardware. This is by definition cloud. Maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles from the bi

Qualcomm might be interested if Graviton becomes defacto in AWS. You could end up ordering Quanta computers with Qualcomm Inside (which is basically what Nuvia was set to achieve)

Isn't there a huge debate going on for the 6Ghz band between WiFi vs 5G? [1] This could end up being used for home & private networks [1] https://www.gsma.com/spectrum/resources/6-ghz-for-5g/

I think it has the right take on configuration vs code but being a new language it's lacking a lot of basic things like package management, lot's of bugs and in my case - scaling issues.

You are very naively assuming it would actually reach 1B users if it was paid.

Even for Apple, the most profitable smartphone OEM, it took them many years and so much engineering effort to make it work. They started with iPhone 7 JP edition, next their "Global NFC" iPhone X,8 series was pretty much a failure

NFC-F + Felica is truly one of those technologies that could have really made a huge difference in the world (imagine a no-internet, no bank/middleman payment system in 3rd world countries) but got ruined because of Japan's Galapa

Good but those two things aren't nearly enough. Then people wonder how we end up with HeartBleed bug, Elastic & Grafana moving to stricter licenses, Mozilla dying in favor of FAANG provided software.

1. For a couple of decades, US was the only country paying high salaries. Why would you go through the entire process of immigration if you still end up being middle class in a foreign country? Upper middle class or higher is more attractiv

Yeah I was confused too. Why on earth will someone provide a load balancer if it keeps changing it's IP address as it scales?
