Spotify's Mac app also gobbles up memory. I regularly see it consuming more than a gigabyte. As someone who's still running an 8GB machine, that bytes.

I'm not saying "serverless" is a good term, I'm saying that it's the term. It's won. You can argue all you want that it's a terribly misleading/incorrect term, but people aren't going to stop

Oh come on. Is it still not accepted that "serverless" is the colloquial name for AWS Lambda and comparable services? Stop trying to make "FaaS" happen. It's not going to happen.

You misunderstand my comment. Understandably so, I can see I wasn't as clear as I should have been. Let me clarify: Twitter has already spent a lot of money developing their own infrastructure. They now get to enjoy significantly c

Yeah, that was my one gripe with the comment. If you've already invested in creating your own infrastructure like Twitter has, moving to a public cloud is throwing money down the drain.

I don't understand your argument. Yes, web programming has lots of warts and subtle behaviors and inconsistencies. So shouldn't we jump on a chance to remove a small part of that from our day-to-day development? OP isn't a

But all those tags are things that no sane developer would put inside a p tag anyways, so you don't really have to think about them. The real mental overhead is incurred when reasoning about the tag following the p, which could be anyt
