I keep meaning to write a simple client to get some networking code practice. It's been sometime since I wrote some. > It's what an open protocol should be. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I agree, but I also want to w

I used IRC Cloud for some time. Pretty good, actually. Works almost everywhere, nice UI. It's certainly no irssi in a tmux/screen, but it's pretty good. Costs $5/month when I was using it (so close to the same as a VPS o

Not a programmer at the time, but a system administrator. I won't mention the company. This was 2011-2012 -ish. We hosted dedicated servers and most of the time, they were mostly Plesk or cPanel servers run by people selling email and

I reckon companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, $bigCorp, probably calculate the ROI of the venture before executing it. So for example in this case, I wouldn't be surprised if Google calculated a high chance of pocketing $5b and exp

This applies to virtually every technology in existence. I've never had to explain what Serverless means to another engineer, only people, like management, who tend to be non-technical :)

What configuration? I use AppEngine for a personal project I'm developing, and besides the app.yml file, which is about five lines long, I don't configure a thing. In fact, I don't even have to stand up databases to use one:

Just because you've never had to overcome or experience the problem, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you've ever had to develop an MVP from the ground up and build a business around it, services like this are critic

I disagree. I believe if you're thinking about how you want to deploy an application, you can say, "We want to be serverless in that regard: we want to manage as little as possible." It's on par with saying, "We wan

I also recommend the NoClip documentary on Id Software and on the back of that, virtually any interview with John Romeo -- the guy is awesome and so willing to share his thoughts, ideas, history, anything...

Good to know! As someone who's been called a senior SRE (I hate titles) and has been building platforms for years, it's great to see high quality software enabling new comers like your self to the field. Welcome! :-)

Even so, that's EXPENSIVE! It rules out a startup I'd say.

Perfect for me: develop the front end using Qt (on an OSS licence) and Go, which is just a dumb data rendering layer with caching, and keep all the actual business logic server-side. I'll happily open-source a "shell" :)
