Not to mention there is all sorts of other limits that you can hit at scale just on the compute layer itself (eg max pids, file descriptors etc). I don’t know if we can truly abstract away the underlying system. The best we can do is give a

I think the biggest “win” with abstractions is that it makes it easier for infra teams to update underlying concretions (is that a word? the concrete version of the abstraction) without having to dig deep into the codebase. e.g. with kubern

Purely anecdotal but their systems are designed very poorly, they outsource their support to some really low quality vendor (read: you get 0 support). This is not a company I would trust if I had the choice.

Yeah… this is the biggest red flag for me. Yes startups are all about building great products that users will love. But that love should be organic and authentic, not blind belief. I suspect that this expectation is likely because most star

FWIW I don’t think of it as pride as much as setting boundaries. You understood yours and it made you uncomfortable to cross it. I personally think that’s a good thing.

I can see both sides of the issue. The kernel maintainer is within their rights to implement their fix and accept it; they probably work with this codebase a lot and have to deal with issues that crop up. If the added code doesn’t match up

Wonder if they have to pay licensing fees to hashicorp for using terraform this way. It’s essentially replacing terraform cloud for GCP resources.

Not really. Software first enterprises do. But most enterprises that have a non-software focus generally prefer languages that have been around for a while and are known by lots of people.

It seems like sqlite is now acting as the API gateway. I think its an interesting idea, especially if you want to share relational data out to consumers, since they now have all the flexibility of sql. The issue though is updating the queri

Your paradigm of who is “deserving” of wealth and who isn’t is somewhat weird. I don’t think being a “C grade student” means that this individual cannot make contributions of value. Many people that don’t do very well in school find a lot o

Never used terraform cloud and probably never will. Its too expensive and doesn’t really provide all that much benefit over using terraform with eg atlantis.

What I heard is that AWS got there first with Redshift but then didn’t really invest as much as was required by users so Snowflake found an opening and pounced on it. BigQuery in GCP is a pretty great alternative and I know that GCP invests

Define custom fish functions to generate bearer tokens. Also... I think you're being a little pedantic here. Bash scripts are the automation already available to every terminal users. Their use is implied.
