   I'm suspecting (but can't back it up with empirics until I get a large team using golang), that because of the advance in popularity of golang and huge increase of golang codebases, the choice of golang is just as much a business

   Ok, this project is precious and makes me wistful for the old days. Need a golang port for this.

   I'd fly to Africa, walk out into a herd of Cape Buffalo, and slap one of those bastards right in the face as hard as I could. Why people want to live forever is beyond me.

    I think we'll see anti-aging treatments before that happens, so yes, a shot in the face would probably be effective until the singularity comes. Then a shot in the face will become some powershell script.

    Whatever you use, here's the trick we learned from trying to use Msft Dynamics XRM: Do not make the core of your application a bunch of custom functoids. Also plan custom changes very carefully; always use what's out of the box fi

    Happy to take on the challenge. Two recent investments involve a "Mindfulness" app and an even better coffee machine. Guess who made those investments, while I wouldn't have touched them with a 10 foot pole? They're soph

    So many of these startups seem to have fragile, non-strategic products to get these valuations. I don't understand how they get funded in the first place. Hopefully my first jaded thought is further from the truth than I suspect it is,

    Agree on the pic, but when I saw it I was thinking would some deep learning analysis add any value at all? Maybe just for academic or conspiracist reasons. Like say the analysis determines that there was a 50% chance that the person in the
