Teuber deserves massive accolades, but this article does a huge disservice to everyone else in the industry he worked in. It advances the myth nothing of note happened between Monopoly and Catan. But German-style games didn't spring ex

There's no ergonomic loss to using the faster approach. It's just cargo culting patterns from other languages even though they're less accessible and less performant in Go. The problem with your comments isn't the cont

There's a widening generational gap in what "functional programming", in a practical sense, means. "Back in the day" a language got called 'functional' if it had anonymous closures, upwards funargs, tail c

Your optimism is refreshing but ultimately wrong. We did "solve" those problems but then immediately 10xd the incidental complexity of both our development and operations work in exchange for nothing.

Just wait a few years. Today: "Senior" devs by virtue of knowing the cookbook of, at most, one stack. 2028: "Senior" devs by knowing when GPT-12 output POST when it should have been PUT.

Is it actually approaching human levels of performance, or are we continually reducing the commercially acceptable skill level of all of these things?

It would not be real-world in the sense that most OLTP workloads are inserting (or updating) only a couple rows at a time. In this sense it provides an upper bound on transactions per second, which for many real-world workloads essentially

I can’t speak for the GP but I am currently in a position where we have the PR, we make the comments, the fix happens (kind of), but then it all repeats the next time. It’s tiring for the (technical) PO and the senior dev doing most of the

However, by late 90s you weren't paying for a C compiler, you had Cygwin, MinGW, or DJGPP (OK, probably no sockets in that case).

A PDB is a good example of Kubernetes's complexity escalation. It's a problem that arises when you have dynamic, controller-driven scheduling. If you don't need that you don't need PDBs. Most situations don't need t

The operational value of ~weekly ~30 min "maintenance windows" is wildly underestimated by teams today, and its business cost is wildly overestimated.
