Docker compose is still orders of magnitude easier to use and often sufficient.

Fair enough, but this is also true for checkboxes.

That is true but framing it as technical budget means there is no business benefit. This is false. Long term maintainability and increased innovation speed are clearly business benefits that you hide behind ambiguous terms if you use wordin

Calling this tech debt will get you nowhere. Instead you could just explain the alternatives: what happens if we do this, what happens if we don't? If we do <X> productivity will increase by <Y> so that users will experienc

I honestly think they're the same. If you think they're not then you simply haven't thought it through well enough, which means you need to spend more time on that.

I think separating tasks for features and for quality is wrong. They are not two different things. There is only purpose, and that is to serve the user's needs. Therefore I also think technical debt is the wrong way to phrase it, becau

The technology was actually never the problem. It worked great.

Overopinionated engineers are annoying. Python doesn't suck, everyone knows that. Every language has its strengths and weaknesses. Clickbaity.

You are not taking into account that big corps prefer to buy because it is also a way of doing risk management. You can make legally binding agreements with penalty clauses with suppliers. You can't do that with your own employees, whi

But what are the costs of the alternatives? Not buying anything or rolling a DIY solution? This holds for any employee. Office chair isn't free either.

Organization and their suppliers are moving panels anyways. If Docker doubles the price you move to an alternative. Hardly the end of the world.

Docker Swarm is not Docker, it are two separate products. The industry has moved to Kubernetes anyways.

What do you mean? In my experience it's been super reliable for years and it never surprises me.

One of the reasons I use Docker regardless of deployment is to verify it works on a machine that is not mine. Running it in Docker is a quick litmus test I have all made all the dependencies explicit. Also, a Dockerfile is potentially machi

At this point I think microservices architectures don't exist. As if a "micro"service is a goal on its own. I think any sane organization strives for a healthy trade-off between manageable code and separation of concerns.

This is a typical US thing. Very weird.

by mmcnl 4y ago
Yes, but in my experience this doesn't actually happen that often as long as you don't rely on external dependencies too much. This happens in any ecosystem btw.

I agree that web development is complex. I disagree that abstraction layers add complexity. Abstraction layers solve problems. If you don't have the problems that these abstraction layers solve, then you might perceive that as complex,

You're saying there is no business value, only to end with saying that there is business value? Very confusing. If you take something away and no one will ever notice it has no business value. If people do notice, it has business value

I think it's literally what the word estimate means though. There's a reason people use the word estimate and not prediction. They want to know whether it's going to take 3 days, 3 months or 3 years.

Annoying indeed. Very childish.

Yes, the web. Responsive by design.

Let me ask you: what is the alternative? Life cycle management and building software go hand in hand.

On one hand we are complaining about app store monopolies, and on the other hand the enormously rich web ecosystem with plenty of choice and enormous freedom is also too fragmented/bloated? What is the desired state here? PS. Needless

For all intents are purposes they are roughly the same. Same ideology, same goal, same developer workflow. Vue has a bit more syntactic sugar which takes away most of the complexity of React (unnecessary rerenders, useEffect hook that has i

Every decision is a trade-off. If you call TypeScript complicated, what do you call maintaining a 1000+ component-based web app without types? Please try to understand that every decision is a trade-off. Also, all the major frameworks defau

Is there a 10+ year old framework that does responsive UIs well?

Because the web distribution model for apps is extremely cost efficient. This has caused exponential growth in web app development. To support this, frontend frameworks have grown almost exponentially as well. Every corporate app is a webap
