Correct, and it's clear that this isn't an outdated strategy from Google, just in the current cycle we saw Circle to Search launch on both Galaxy and Pixel, and most of the new AI stuff that differentiates Pixel is now coming to G

This is a very extreme take to something far more nuanced... It's possible for code to be complex and valuable without meeting the extremes of "is a literal rocket control system" and "is some buttons on a form". Wh

At the scale of Netflix or Reddit it very well may make sense to only keep very limited CPU/memory stats on such a massive fleet. Look, I have a different opinion as well, but the difference between you and me is I'm not resorting

Yep, I missed that. I definitely have hit cases where having a larger window of infrastructure metrics has been very useful. Being able to correlate it against other observability factors can help to understand what caused a problem. But I

For a long time I worked at a client driven development shop, and we picked up lots of codebases from other developers. There were apps in PHP, Java, .NET. All of them were buried in technical debt. You can take any programming language and

Frontend only devs who know the first thing about efficient queries are exceedingly rare. Solutions like Firebase that do exactly what you are describing are extremely expensive and just as limited in terms of functionality, and properly de

To be fair, a lot of those PHP monoliths aren't even using Composer, and regardless updating them would probably be painful as well. That being said, just installing old Node.js projects can be painful, unfortunately. It's got

Oh, thanks. I still don't necessarily agree with the author either, but at least there's a passing justification.

by rezonant 3y ago
I missed the part where the person describes that they have a very large development team which justified a non-monolithic architecture. True microservices (with independent development and inter-service contracts) are a reflection of the m

Completely correct. I should have said there is no compilation step for the developer to be more clear.
379.
by rezonant 3y ago
It's Ruby, there's no compilation. It's also common to not load all files of an application's codebase at startup, in particular this is the default setting for Rails in development mode.

Everything needs tweaking, but it's always a tradeoff. Tweak in one direction to optimize variable A and seemingly unrelated variable B becomes unoptimized. If there was a perfect system we'd have found it by now; I'm actuall

There's no mechanism to return to view what you've upvoted, so such a request isn't likely to be fulfilled. Just think of it like here's the balance of thumbs up and thumbs down, and go from there. We don't live in

Yes I have done this upon occasion. You just know your going to get downvoted, so you really turn the rationale up to 10 but you know it's still not enough.
