Would this be like an alternative to Delta? Am I thinking about that right?

Ha, I’ve heard a few Dutch say that American style racism didnt really apply to them, but then later they say that some person isn’t Dutch because they aren’t white. All in the workplace. I think it’s just not as top of mind in other places

Lol yeah. My old team had oncall pages in the middle of the night pretty often where nothing was actually the matter. My manager was only nominally on call. In the handoff meetings every week he was basically just like “that sucks”.

API development on lambda has to be the worst devex I’ve ever had. Not sure if it was cuz we were also using Dynamo, a half-baked JS framework, or cuz we had wacky internal requirements pushed down (one ex: live-live multi-region deployment

Django with DRF will get you a very maintainable API, and you can have as little or as much boilerplate as you want. For example, you can inherit all of the model’s fields, or you can choose to specify them all, or somewhere in between, add

I’m with you. If everything has to be consistent all the time, then nothing evolves.

I used to agree, but there’s so much software that is just so bad. Wrong DB, bad framework, crazy abstractions, black box magic, no security, behavior that is just wrong, etc. The dev team going away for 3 months to rewrite is probably a ba

You mean the definition of factoid (noun) isnt: little facty?!

I think teammates would have enough context of each others’ positions that they could play the part if necessary, even if theyre not as good. They might even appreciate the skills gaps. So I think sports holds.

My favorite factoid is that Windows desktop Outlook uses the MS Word engine to render emails. If regular emails are caveman html (which they are), then I don't know what that makes Outlook html.

It would actually probably be pretty helpful if the designers knew their way around the production code, since they'd have a lot more context about what is going to be easy/hard to do. They won't be in some design vacuum. Sil

For one, Snowflake is expensive (you pay for the convenience and simplicity) and the data in there is usually stored in S3 buckets that Snowflake owns (and they dont pass along any discounts that they get from AWS for the cost of that stora

Presumably those tractors wouldn't be connecting directly to the db though. Not sure why they dont just go the standard iot events route and store data in a data lake and propagate into an analytics db/warehouse from there. Add a

DRF is also great because it allows flexibility when you dont want the API to mirror the DB, which is a lot of the time.

Nice. The two-way syncs are where all the complexity lies, and why people end up paying the big bucks to like Mulesoft.

Azure actually had a nice Heroku-like service that served me well for a couple years. I forget what it’s called, but it’s probably the one reason I’d ever consider choosing Azure if that was ever my call to make.

I don’t know about this. I do think people tend to prematurely optimize by over-generalizing their APIs instead of building what they need. But this seems like it swings too far the other way.

Remember Evernote had those physical notebooks where you could write in them with real pens and pay the subscription and then take a picture and upload them with OCR? That was the only thing I remember that you couldnt get for free.

Man, you know what you can really just mostly ignore when you’re using an ORM? Injection If i’m building an app or an API, I will ORM till I die (as long as it’s Django). If I need anything so much as a groupby, though, i will drop right in
