I joined a shop where that was the case. We invested time in reintegrating services back into the monolith. A number of them could be replaced with ~100 lines of ruby.

I’m very intrigued by this comment. It probably captures the thing that has held me back from microservices. Can you explain how one can break up a monolith without keeping the interdepencies?

What’s ironic is that when I visited Tokyo a couple years ago I didn’t play any of these games because I assumed they were rigged like in the US. Now that I know the payouts are more favorable maybe I will give them a try next time

One thing I have noticed over the years is that I am addicted to the taste of Costco’s Kirkland signature bottled water (similar to Dasani but nothing like bottled “spring water”) One hypothesis I have is that my body is craving magnesium,

That reminds me that our Mac (circa 1992) had a menu option to “Erase Hard Disk”. My Dad would routinely remind us to never click this option and (unfortunately?) we never tried it.

In my experience physicians are not 95% incompetent. Is there something inherently different about law from medicine? Or is more like how 95% of physicians couldn’t help you with a specific problem because it’s outside their specialty?

Lifelong Dodgers fan here. Have been following this scandal closely as Trevor Bauer is one of the big faces of it. He publicly denounced use of “sticky stuff” in 2017 and 2018 and tweeted about how much more rpm his pitches would get when h

I’ve had migraines my entire adult life. Over the years I tried a number of prescription drugs with limited success. Tylenol is the only thing I have tried that works. It is night and day. Before Tylenol I lived in fear of early migraine si

Your mention of “uncontrollable distraction” reminds me: When I was interviewing for my current job, my son was 4 at the time and we were both at home. About 10 minutes into the 30 minute interview he came into my office and proceeded to cl

That’s troubling. In fairness, when I last used RDS (2018) we had 9 databases running and we averaged about one database failover per month, with about 2-3 minutes of downtime per incident. I never got a satisfactory answer from support oth

cloud sql proxy is secure and that is what all our developers use for local access to the database. However, we have some third party data analysis tools (such as Tableau) that also connect to one of our databases. They are hosted in their

Glad to see that they are adding features but I wish the pace was faster. We have been using Cloud SQL for Postgres and overall it is good but there are a number of glaring and frustrating feature holes. The two top of mind for me are: 1) N

Yes this is terrible. On the other hand, if your goal is to prevent people from signing up using disposable domains, the blacklist approach (which I have tried before) is a never ending game of whack a mole. Sounds like this was in person a

I would be terrified. That being said, I get nervous every time an airplane takes off even though I know that hundreds of planes have safely flown that same day. I can’t imagine being one of the first people to fly in any vessel, let alone
