Ehhhh...it works okay but the same fundamental serialization problem exists. The fact that dict can be roughly equivalent to JSON helps, but as soon as you start including more complex types you're going to have to use something to

Arguing about it's merits doesn't miss the point at all because it isn't limited to the browser. Even other dynamic languages generally have a better design and are much easier to debug in production in my experience. Also,

That's kind of amusing. So in theory someone could just copy their typeface and rewrite the "font" and publish it for free. That makes the entire thing seem even more pointless -- if one guy can copy Operator Mono (I found at

It's definitely not cheaper than using free fonts. Or even modifying an existing one -- it's not as if Airbnb's exclusive use of this font is going to benefit them in any measurable way. Even if that were necessary, it seems

Seems like it's essentially Netflix Sans with enough changes to be different IP

by jrs95 8y ago
Given how similar it is to Netflix Sans (and probably many other Sans fonts) I highly doubt that this is something you would prove if you were to test it.

Not really, those solutions weren’t quite flexible enough to do what we needed to do. Google Kubernetes Engine has been great though, not much more effort than something like Heroku but way more powerful.

Well, rewriting one liners is kind of stupid, but it's probably not going to result in a nearly incomprehensible mess running in production.

by jrs95 8y ago
What it does likely mean is that there will be a reason to fire everyone. So management can use whatever excuse they'd like to get rid of someone just because of office politics. It's a bit harder now since they generally have to

I'm a big fan of Kubernetes and that's what I use in production, but to be honest I probably wouldn't if there weren't good managed solutions available. Nomad & Consul seems much simpler and achieves many of the same

by jrs95 8y ago
Yup. And there are other benefits you can get out of it once you have the cluster -- for example a service mesh can handle metrics, tracing, and circuit breaking that you'd normally need to implement in each service. That's a huge

I think a lot of that can also come from people mis-using Docker as if it were a VM instead of trying to do the smallest amount of stuff possible in an image. But at the same time, there's stuff I wouldn't even try to manage in co

Docker has been a huge improvement for me over the past 2 years or so. Both at a relatively larger startup that made the transition from using some of the tools mentioned in this article, and more recently on a small team that doesn't

It’s a lot easier to be confident about a “no” to those questions than a “yes”. Of course it’s subjective and there are probably false negatives, but it’s really the best you can do imo

As a side note related to Amazon's culture...of the people I've worked with that had previously worked for Amazon, the only ones I (or most anyone, for that matter) enjoyed working with were the ones who hated working for Amazon.

I've worked at several companies and I've never really seen culture fit used in the way that you're describing. In the case of smaller companies and startups, it's generally just boiled down to "Can this person work

That (and Zen of Python in general) was always intended to be primarily about the development of the language itself and it's core libraries. Of course it carried over a fair bit, but I don't think it was ever really a thing enoug

For me it was less about the verbosity and more about the overuse of patterns and general overengineering present in many (most?) Java APIs. Java doesn't strike me as being much more verbose than Go, but the differences in the API desi

Apple actually sort of does have a backend framework: WebObjects. They just seem to have deprecated it in favor of other solutions. Still, I've noticed at least iTunes Connect is still using it. And for what it's worth, Swift is g

Why would it be immoral of me to not want to be harassed and threatened on a regular basis during my commute? Because that was basically my experience of depending on busses for ~6 months.

There's definitely a bit of a double standard here. I overhear comments like this fairly regularly. It's just normal and accepted behavior. (I wouldn't go as far as to say society generally has "deference to women's
