That's a modular monolith, not microservices. It's a nice architecture for dev but it comes with a downside that you need to deploy everything whenever there's a change. You usually end up with a complex release train process

That's what's actually dangerous. It's a different sort of danger. Knives, guns, etc are locally dangerous. The threat from AI is globally dangerous. Despite being a much lower risk of it happening, the blast radius is

If you can manage that then there's no real benefit to microservices though. The reason for splitting is to solve the problem of failing to separate concerns, so a team that can't do that well is better off building microservice

With microservices they're obviously complicated, and that's better. There's a complexity in monoliths as well, but it's hidden complexity. That gives developers a false impression that things are simpler. For exampl

One problem with AI-driven development is that it's really obvious when something has been built with Claude. It's worse than the Bootstrapification of SaaS apps in the mid- to late-2000s. The Newsreader font, the light taupe ba

Before reading too much into this, it's worth looking at the history of EU join/leaving polling. The UK occillated between leave and remain quite significantly before the Brexit referendum: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

On the web, keyboard accessible web UIs are a WCAG 2.1.1 level A requirement - that's literally the most basic level of accessibility standard (unless you count 'failed' as a level). If your website / web app isn't

If you don't install it they keep you from spending time on them. It's a feature, not a bug.

"Ironic" means saying the opposite of what you mean in order to be funny or sarcastic. So that would mean you think I was both polite and not an idiot. Jokes on you though, I'm neither of those things.

Has PayPal blocked GrapheneOS, or have they blocked every OS they're unable to verify and done a poor job of implementing their checks? Hanlon's Razor is a useful tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s

I encourage my teams to pair as often as possible. Usually the format is "two humans, as many agents as necessary". From what I've seen the outcomes are better than anything one human could do, and faster. I have no real data

That's an over-simplification though, because models that waste tokens will lose users. Efficiency is a great marketing feature.

True. The point here is that a tool that isn't gitops is diminishing useful, so releasing one now and charging $thousands for it is an odd choice.

The deployment process is edited in the dashboard rather than defined in source control. There probably are businesses doing clickops who'd spend $2900 on a tool, but that market is rapidly shrinking. AI can write pretty decent terra

The question isn't whether or not every person pays $3500, but whether or not businesses can extract more than $3500 of value from their interactions with you to make it worthwhile for them to pay.

Credit card companies are still charging merchants a transaction fee for your purchases though. The fact they're only charging one side of the transaction is probably annoying for them, but you still make them plenty of money.

In other words, universities are for people to learn for the sake of learning, not to earn a wage. Universities should teach people that they can change the world if they want to, and that they don't have to be passive about acceptin
