   This is really well said. I’ve been trying to articulate this point for a long time. I think the boundary is between things that are temporal or bounded by real time and space vs things that are time independent and state based. Oracles alw

   Re: bank account fees. I think OC was just making the point that one institutions’ lack of security practices gets passed to the entire system as a way to offset fraud costs, we all universally eat this stupid cost. An example of this is ch

   WRT inheritance, composition solves the diamond problem. It’s really about decoupling interfaces for portability more than code reuse. I think the big abstraction problem inheritance solves is overrides. I think there’s a lot of FP cargo cu

   Having dealt with the very problem and market you’re thinking of penetrating I would actually walk away right now. Go talk to 5 engineers from POS, delivery, or QR companies. Restaurant owners will tell you whatever you need to hear. This i

   I think part of the point of it is to assure people working on niche problems that embody some of the qualities of what pg is describing as great work. It’s easy to look at the shiny zeitgeist and feel a lot of self doubt if you’re off work

   Magic links are great because they essentially eliminate ATO attacks and allow startups to bypass SAML requirements by delegating to the mail provider. I’m 100% willing to forgo efficiency gains of passwords and managers as both a user and

   tldr of article; engineering is about trade offs. As humans we are susceptible to hype cycles and financial influences. Now let me tell you about a bunch of things I have personally decided are not worth considering the trade offs of under

    I agree. I had to double take on this. I think the difference is that react is really an abstraction, unlike micro services. It would be kind of like accusing Bell Labs of making C or Unix as some sort of conspiracy — if you don’t write you

    This is really cool. I’d imagine this helps with datasets skewed by errors and actually allows incident losses to be quantized in ways that are usually pretty cumbersome. I think SREs would love this

    It’s not like the FANG dev lives in a separate universe devoid of the same AI developments as everyone else. If anything I’d imagine the barrier to producing the FANG products of today goes down but the interview process of FANG is still mo

    To answer your question 2. I don’t think you can realistically delete a key, contend with network partitions, and have a true eventually consistent data structure. I think you’re sort of running into the uncommit problem. Feels solvable but

    Hi Joseph, This is a hard problem and something that I think has to be intrinsic to the serialization method of your CRDT. Unique IDs of any kind are really risky in CRDTs because they basically break the mathematical links between potentia
