Sure... but as an eng manager my job isn't to cater to your creative outputs in subordination to good products. Craft comes before art.

Ok, but we're running a business here not catering to the satisfaction of random programmers. The NIH part of this stuff is a bit weird.

Indeed, if you need a lot of boilerplate that's pretty similar to existing commonly available code, you're set. However... That code is probably buggy, slow, poorly architected, very verbose, and has logical issues where the examp

Ah yes, 1.5B users, absolutely tiny :) When my company made a mistake that cost our customers 750k, we fell on our sword and recouped them the cost. We had 11k users at the time :)

At facebook's size and for the duration that lie was told, no, that's inexcusable. That's a knew or should have know territory - they were pushing a new feature, they lied about the impact of the new feature, they changed the

The simple truth is that for 99% of cases right now, you putting AI in your product means you are lazy. Your product team either has no idea or no control over your frothing execs. Your product will be outdated, replaced, or entirely canc

I have never once got a spam call from an international number, just local numbers. So your plan doesn't work when some local proxy is happy to take the traffic.

This is perfectly fine when you are driving some app that has a per-user experience that allows you to wrap up most of their experience in some blobs. However I would still advise people to use a third normal form - they help you, constrain

Yep, DSC is cool, if it fits exactly your use case its very cool, and generally it seems like a huge PITA to manage on any level and nobody uses it but very expert level powershell people doing DoD stuff or similar.

Actually no - spreadsheets classically choose their own way to interpret CSVs, that's the classic way to get your client to continue to send you support requests. There's a reason so many tools export to xls instead of csv.

by hobs 2y ago
The same rationale for the Chevron defense (attacking the root of its power) - there's a large base of republicans who don't want to increase regulation on much of anything, and especially big business. Mel Gibson even famously wa

As long as you also took "so keep the system simple and basic" to heart as well - I have seen many systems where the obvious choice was microservices, not for scaling or team separation mind you, but because the devs felt like it.
