Congratulations! I've been closely following and donating (when I can) since your launch. I'm now unemployed on a sabbatical, and looking to pour my heart into game development. Jumping into such a large, moving project can be int

I can't agree with you more about how demotivating Unity is to work with. waiting for 5 seconds every time I save a C# file and another 5 seconds when I press play (on a new, small project), rolling a d4 to see if the engine crashes, f

it's seriously demotivating as a programmer with gamedev dreams to be incapable of shaping something visually to an approximation of your vision. I'd say it's my biggest hurdle every time I try to jump back into gamedev. bein

Yeah you do, but you compartmentalize that with your orchestration (hence strong ops). With HashiCorp Nomad for example you might setup a parameterized job. When Nomad receives a job to do X for customer Y, it allocates a container with a s

Sorry for stream of consciousness here; at the end of the day if the code that handles the sensitive secret is compromised, you’re leaking secrets one of the big ways Vault can help is by separating reads and writes. the web UI that stores

IMO this depends on the strength of your org's ops function (which will usually correlate with scale of your org), and the responsibility you hold for the customer's data. if your org does not have a strong ops function yet, and y

my solution is a combination of all of these things: - I have three yubikeys — one at home, one on keychain, and one backup - I have three accounts that are secured by these yubikeys: my email, my password manager, and my Apple ID. these ar

I am thoroughly enjoying all your contributions in this thread. I love getting a look into the architectural bits of a project/community of this scale that I don’t really know much about. Very interesting, thanks

I’m starting a project that requires a lower level language. Ideally I have tighter control of memory and no GC. I want to move fast and be safe. Go gives me the speed of development I desire, but is a little higher level than this project

that's an excellent use-case, thanks. I didn't think of local machines when they mentioned webhooks in the article.

the more I sit with it the more I can see different ways it might be valuable. even if it's just to simplify setup. the use cases just didn't really jump out to me this time, even as a happy Tailscale user

why do I need a tailnet to self host? can't the CEO just use the Tailscale network to access it privately? I just don't personally see a use case -- if I need someone to access the content, the box it is on is already easy to publ

Lumen is officially not recommended. If you think you need Lumen, just use Laravel and rip out the things you don’t need. It’s much easier to pare down these days than it was when Lumen was released

Should I use flakes or not? Every single library I find is a Nix Flake, but insists that Flakes are experimental. Who makes the decision that they are not experimental? At what point does majority adoption of flakes overrule? Why are they s

I don't entirely agree with you (nor do I totally disagree), but I wish this comment was not so heavily downvoted. This is a good perspective worth discussion. Importantly, this is also how a lot of people outside the industry will see
