What I had in mind, is a webapp that does backend api calls. That is a synchronous call, in the sense that often the user is waiting for it since it is often the result of an interaction with the website. I did not consider that a low laten

I do not understand the "inconsistent" comment either. The "verbose" comment I can follow, but since you have tab-completion, it does not really matter that much. The Get-Help command is super useful, with the option to

I find these imprecise, rounded, relative timestamps very irritating and I am so happy to see that I am not the only one. If you have the exact absolute data, then just give me that.. in its original form. Unbelievable that people put effor

We use a setup where we have multiple repos with Terraform configuration and thus multiple Terraform states. We then use Terraform remote state to link everything together. I am talking about 10-20 repos and states. Orthogonal to that, we u

Personally, I would never or rarely use the approach where some code is created and then thrown away. I think it is always better to first think and then do. With software development, I make the distinction between a functional analysis an

Would it be realistic today to make a commercial website only available on an IPv6 address? Or would the website lose too much traffic because of that?

This is similar to an idea I once had about spreadsheets. In my mind it was more focused on being able to handle bigger amounts of data in a more efficient way: a "block" would be a data source and could for example be linked to a
