I dont agree with OP. In fact on the contrary, much of the backend software is becoming lot more reliable than it ever was before. Lately most of the back end dev is leveraging various cloud services like dynamodb, big table etc, which have

I love new programming languages and the concepts they bring to the table. But I feel PL designers should think about Dev experience. Is it just me or is the "\" in front of parenthesis (func params) is just off-putting. I wonder,

Spotify video leaves a lot to be desired as compared to youtube. They should stick to audio and improve on it. I dont understand, why do I need to go through ads for JR show even though I pay for spotify premium. The best part of youtube is

Finally, we are beginning to see some real back end applications of wasm apart from envoy proxy. This seems very similar to apache storm [1], where users can define UDFs (user defined functions) on their streams. Although, I dont understand

400M RPS is mind boggling, even if one considers most of the data to be embarrassingly shard-ed. Kudos to engineers who built it. Otoh, it bothers me that every single service call needs to go to IAM to check for permissions. Has anyone exp
