Maybe because driving in London is not an option (congestion charging / insane traffic / no parking), so you see more walking wounded.

If you want a simple website, I suggest Ruby on Rails with StimulusJS. React and friends are a big time investment that will only pay off if you need a complex web application (not a website)

Absolutely, the language is well designed with good tools but it isn’t very eloquent. I find other languages much more enjoyable to work with Ruby, Typescript, Kotlin or even Java.

Go is undeniably very useful, just feels like such drudgery actually working with it.

The sidecar model is different to integrating with a 3rd party API as it is designed to operate transparently. My Integration test might be passing but when running with the sidecar, traffic can be mutated etc

The more logic we push out of band into sidecars, the harder application issues become to debug. For example, let's say an Envoy config change is made centrally and all of sudden my app breaks because an HTTP header has stopped being s

Regardless of whether Service Mesh is overly complex, the industry seems to have entered an era of "Complexity Worship". I was speaking to some engineers at a small startup the other day with only a handful of customers. They have

UK south coast, not perfect by any means but there is enough of a tech scene for me to be employed and not have to commute far. Cost of living here means I can comfortably afford to by a 3 bed house in a nice location. UK weather is crappy

The best place is French Brocantes, you have to arrive at 6 AM to get the good stuff.

Sadly we live in a culture where a lot of people care more about fashion than quality and craftsmanship. Our house is filled with beautiful French furniture, not because it will increase in value - simply that it every piece has wonderful c

Bad habits of coworkers - the worst of all is loud throat clearing or summoning snot. Eating smelly foods noisily at desks when there is a break out area available! Loud talking on conference calls!

In the UK renting makes very little sense for most people, due to low interest rates, mortgage payments are lower than the equivalent rent. Renters have very little security, landlords are often unscrupulous with minimal regulation. Us Brit

I took a strong hit of acid when I was a teenager at Glastonbury festival. I ended up falling into a delusional, catatonic state where I thought I was in some kind of war zone surrounded by dead people. Thankfully some friends found me and

A lot of experienced programmers would struggle with those interview questions. They tend to be pretty far detached from the what most programmers actually do in the wild. Thankfully, a number of good companies don’t use silly brain teasers

“Practically created the modern world” is a vast exaggeration and sad you actually believe that.. European countries especially Britain and France developed many of the things that enabled modernisation of the world.

I don’t see how wealth should effect an individuals ability to survive a medical emergency. In the US they really try and brainswash people with nonsense like this

My concerns are around complexity, not just complexity in deploying K8S but complexity introduced debugging application issues (eg TLS authentication to my app broken due latest upgrade)

The hardest part of ADHD for me is the impulsivity, or lack of filter and inability to regulate emotions . So often I have blurted things out only to regret them seconds later. During my younger, undiagnosed years, reckless behaviour, drin

I would choose a strongly typed language to teach a beginner, it may be harder for her at first but she will quickly benefit from learning about how type systems work, and how it allows the compiler to catch certain types of error. Java or

CredHub had been developed by folks at Pivotal to manage secret storage and generation, in an arguably more opinionated way than Vault https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/credhub
