I am around 20 years into professional software dev and this list is great . Not sure what else I can add, just wanted to +1 the whole thing basically.

Does Render run on AWS? Or it's own servers? Having a little trouble figuring out things like that and what regions they're in etc. Looks cool though.

Would you mind linking to a couple of them? I don't know anything about Elixir (but am very comfortable in a lot of other languages), and am interested in the kind of thing more experienced people are using with Elixir. Thanks!

I've been programming Java since 1998 or so, and this may be surprising to some on here - but I still like it! Here are the upsides in my mind, and as with all these things keep in mind - nothing's perfect! Everything has tradeoff

I appreciate the author putting this post together. I am, however, having trouble squaring the overall positive tone of the piece with what seem like multiple show stopping problems. The bottom line I am taking away from this is you might n

I would guess so, although the size overhead for an optimized Flutter release build is now down around ~4MB, so not a determining factor for most use cases anyway.

I love to read about how StackExchange does things, it's such a stark contrast to the cloud maximalists. I'm not saying there aren't advantages to each camp, it's just nice to have a solid example on the "vertical s

Awesome, thanks so much for the info. Glad to hear it's a viable option since the hardware prices always seemed great and the unlimited bandwidth would be key for certain applications too.

Would you mind sharing any of your experiences with OVH that you’re able to? I’ve used them before for hobby projects but was always worried about reliability for anything more serious. Had also heard questionable things about their network

Probably in-house expertise and experience running previous services. That usually (or should at least) outweighs feature set in selection process, especially for databases.

I agree with you. When Swift was introduced it was billed as a modern replacement for ObjC that was easier to learn, even a good choice as a language for learning to program. I'm not sure it was ever that, but it sure isn't now. I

This might be a super dumb question, but are super computers worth it? Meaning anything that requires custom hardware instead of just groups of coordinated commodity hardware. It seems you can get maaaybe 5x (10x?) current performance but

One of the main features I look for in a language is stability. I just don't want it to change that much other than adding functionality to the standard library. I know that's not the fashion currently, but it's probably one

This seems like a cool idea, but from reading the info on the page I don't quite understand exactly what it is. Is it a mail client? I think it is? If it is an email client, does it have mobile apps? Or do I keep using my gmail app as

One thing to watch out for if you want to be a generalist is feelings of inadequacy. Probably because you end up knowing something about a lot of things, you are very aware that people are better than you at each of those things. It can be

Do you see any ARM chips on the horizon this year or next that might change the equation? It looks like Amazon is seeing 40% better performance per watt (I think they said the power draw is comparable somewhere) with their custom design, wi

In case you're not able to declare certain days off limits, I suggest a strategy that has worked for me in the past: schedule your work time. If you need two days to work on something, fill those two days on your calendar. It can be br
