Seconded, I'm on DigitalOcean App Platform, with further plans to self-manage it more either on individual droplets or a RKE2 cluster built on droplets, but I keep on kicking the can down the road because I don't need any more c

I think this comes with the caveat that there are a lot more mature libraries for Go just as a function of the age of the language.

As much as I want socialized medicine in the US, I worry when look at Britain and see how a wave of regressive politicians can damage carefully built government institutions so quickly

LA was not really a HCOL city for much of its history. Also these cities could be much lower COL with better housing policies - that’s the point. It really does not have to be either or.

OK I'm not a landlord/capitalist apologist but it sure does make sense to me that rents rise in part because there are way more people that want to live in an area than available units. For example Downtown LA and Koreatown are pu

Conventional mortgages didn't change but the assets associated with them did take huge valuation hit when the bubble popped, which still matters for those packaging up loans, if the assets they have a claim to have dropped 40%.

I think you're only going to see that benefit if, as mentioned you have a super precise oven, or you're getting super precise ingredient quality every time. Otherwise there's too many variables fluctuating every time to reall

Yep I tend to be more on the spectrum of focusing on code & architecture quality over raw productivity, and I find the "plow through it and get it done" engineer to be the perfect foil to have on my team. Ultimately it gets do

Go channels are one that's pretty new depending on the language. I came from Python using async for all concurrency, so channels are an odd concept. Passing context around is an interesting one too

LA's walkability is terrible in a lot of places, but people also just refuse to walk distances that people regularly walk in NY or Chicago. There's just an attitude that everything starts by getting in the car.

that’s fair. If you’re a grey haired old school Unix wiz who’s one of a handful of devs on the team I’d say by all means. But at a certain point technology choice is an organizational problem as well. And while it sounds Unixy to let wget d

No it doesn’t read that way, but it raises the question of whether he really knows what an unequivocally good tech product is and whether he will stoutly refuse to compromise for the sake of growth. I think any amount of time as a corporate

For such a small company I would probably expect that data like that would probably just live in a cloud service like GSuite that’s already SOC2 compliant, then if you’re running software integrations against that data, you’re spinning up i

Additionally, I think there are a lot of non-programmers, non-engineers working in data analysis or data "science" and Python syntax is much more approachable for a beginner. Lots of starter programming courses whether university

OK I see, but even though it's themeless you still have to follow the Hugo theming structure (_default, partials, index.html, etc). Mine is the same as that, it's just nested into the themes directory. It's that theming struc

The hardest part of Hugo for me was creating my theme from scratch (docs are eh on this but I found some good 3rd party tutorials) but after that it's been an absolute breeze. After spending a little time understanding Go templating it

Yeah Hugo has the advantage that dep management for Go is 10000x simpler than JS, Ruby, Python, etc., particularly when you are someone who doesn't work in that language regularly. Plus as sibling comment says you usually don't do

Actually a bunch of router/web helper libraries do this in different ways which makes it a huge pain to compose middleware from different libraries. Even Mux's middleware library is not consistent in how it does this for different

Yeah, just clarifying because what you said was "this company doesn't have growth ideas" which is highly negative, makes it sound like it's a tired dinosaur like AT&T. It can also just be a prudent decision not to fl
