I'm glad this microservices hype is coming to an end. So many people have jumped on the hype train, introducing so much unnecessary complexity into their environments.

I have tried to give pgAdmin4 a chance three times, and every time it was an exercise in frustration. It is unstable and awful from the UX perspective. Since then I'm sticking with psql for administration and with DataGrip for more inv

It's a well established software architecture approach, especially in the enterprise software area. It works well with OOP as well as with FP. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for the answer and sorry for not being clearer, but I was asking from the perspective of an engineer that wants to enter the mainframe world. Let's say I want to focus on developing, maintaining and running the software on ma

Are you trying to say that it is wide and heavy as well :) Joke aside, how are people actually getting started in this space? And more importantly, is it "worth it" financially? Is the mainframe skill shortage ("dreaded COBOL

Are there any modern initiatives around mainframe? What is IBM doing to promote it more to new generations? Are there any startups doing anything related to the mainframe? I was always fascinated by the tech around mainframe and am even thi

Exactly, an apology! It almost sounds like the goal was to find something that a candidate doesn't know. How about finding the things the candidate knows and basing the further discussion on top of that. All this obsession with coding

It would be interesting to see this kind of list for the "start-ups" in '90s. I guess Windows and MS Office licenses would be unavoidable items on the list.

I often remember my excitement about Win7, and how well done it was. I've switched to Mac after they started destroying and bloating things with Win8 an later versions, but am still sad to see what this OS has become.

I agree it's not a big difference, but I was under the impression (apparently a wrong one) that Scala is at least twice as popular as Clojure.
