This is neat. Would be cool if there was support for a dead letter or retry queue. The idea of deleting an event transactionally with the result of processing said event is pretty nice.

I would call it a “leaky analogy” but any analogy can be picked apart. The overall point is sound IMO. Be aware of the operational load you’re signing your team up for when choosing your architecture. Seems like commonly sense but is often

The amount of APIs in the world that require concurrency within a single request scope to meet latency needs approaches zero. In practice, you don’t make that db call until the auth request is done and the user is verified. In practice, you

Yea that’s totally fair. I think we’re using slightly different definitions of “cloud” here. I’m mainly focused on the managed services/abstractions, things that abstract away the server itself and are usage based billed. But firing up

Basically every significant app you interface with is designed with Figma at this point. Figma itself has no opinion about the resulting UX. It's a tool for designers, and they can design great UX, horrible UX, and everything in betwee

GDP per capita per hours worked is an interesting metric, and highlights a significant cultural difference between the US and the EU. But for me it's a little disingenuous to start taking cherry picked slices of the EU and comparing th

We’re not dismissing them! They’re just not that good at helping us with our actual work. I have Copilot on and it’s…fine. A marginal productivity improvement for specific tasks. It’s also great at variable names, which is probably the main

You have to know that, and you have to fight through their customer "service" desk/phone portal to get it. Most people just give up or take the first thing offered to them.

You have a list of queue groups. You write code to round robin through them. Each time, you see if there is a job to be processed for that group. If there is, process it. If there's not, move to the next group in the list.

Right I’m saying you implement the specific round robin logic that you want in the app layer. Obviously if they don’t want to work 10 Alice jobs in a row you wouldn’t write it that way. If you want true round robin it's as simple as an
