Totally. And whilst I've used most provisioning tools (quite liking packer and terraform), for my own stuff I have a file with notes and snippets. Follow that file and within less than 10 minutes I've got a working server with Po

Fair enough. I always consider Go first, but I do differ in that I'm happy to take .Net second. Basically I agree with everything you said there, but with just one amendment - the baggage in .Net was sort of reset not too many years a

It often does require more LOC, but unless the difference is extreme (and whilst it's there it isn't extreme) then I'm not sure why LOC would even be relevant. What matters is quality and maintainability of code, not bre

I've used (and introduced) MongoDB in production. Though I much prefer PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, or SQL Server, for some use cases a document database is fine. However as I discovered myself, once you realise you need to use Mongoose

Agreed. TOS, Voyager, and DS9 were great (at their best; obviously some awful episodes/seasons mixed in there). The films after Khan were missable. Never got on with the whiny characters in TNG. Discovery is endless noise. Picar

Recently sold my Pixel 7a that I got to replace my Moto G32 (I succumbed to the appeal of shiny) when I realised that the £130 Moto G32, despite being slower and less powerful, was a more pleasurable all-round experience.

Is this just a US problem? I'm using a Moto G32 in the UK and it's got no bloatware, regular security updates (got one yesterday morning), and an experience that's smoother than the Pixel 7a I got rid of (though a little slo

Without commenting on the relative merits of monoliths, microservices, graphql, BFFs etc., as an analogy it's possibly worth thinking of the BFFs as interfaces tailored to specific use cases. For example the backend may provide a repor

Fair point. I finished the season 2 finale this evening and it just ... ended. Still entertaining but whilst there was a final set-piece showdown and things were wrapped up okay, it felt like loads of episodes of digging around followed by

I suspect the mention of OSs that are still supported implied they weren't talking about non -supported but no longer supported OSs. So nothing exotic, just the normal OS on the device but stuck at the old version which was the f

There's so much contention over error handling in Go. Over the years I've settled on treating it like gofmt: I may not 100% agree with all the choices, but it is what it is so let's just get on with it . And to be honest as

I agree with all of that, except that I really enjoy Reacher. And if you're a fan of the books, then it's good to see the main character played by someone so much truer to the original than Tom Cruise ever was.

For background, I have no skin in this game. I use JetBrains IDEs and have the AI plugin disabled, but only because I haven't found it to be helpful. The issue is simple, though. By making the presence of the plugin mandatory, rega

I find the easiest way (for me) to identify what type of test is running is by looking at responsibility. - A unit test is single responsibility . It tests just that one bit of code with all dependencies stubbed, abstracted, mocked, o
