Well every product has issues. The question is, do you feel like dealing with those issues or not? Flat files have also been reliably used in production for decades. That doesn't mean they're ideal...although amusingly enough s3 a

Overall, the US is doing things that were supposed to be impossible a few decades ago. And Treasury keeps printing money. More importantly, the debt markets are relatively healthy. Nobody talks about 'crowding out' anymore. I don&

Some major problems that browsers have to deal with have to do with UI. Specifically: 1. Users expect the UI to update in realtime, 2. Developers expect the UI to update in realtime, 3. UIs tend to be single threaded, and 4. The principles

I was a lot easier than I thought to build a video delivery system. From a backend point of view: s3 -> mediaconvert -> s3 -> backblaze -> fastly gives you a super low cost solution that can scale forever. If you commit to bandw

I smoked for 15 years, 2-3 packs a day. Smoking is fun. Nicotine is great. People who say otherwise are lying. I miss smoking, but it's not something I think about a lot. Let's put it this way. People do things because they get so
