Ah I see, I could definitely see that being a useful heuristic. Also it seems like the origins of micro services comes from places like Google that use a mono repo. The proof is in the pudding in the end I suppose.

This is a common mis-conception that the application design and/or deployment is tied to the repo or repos. They are completely orthogonal. Micro services can be done in mono or multi repo. A distributed monolith can be done in mono or

Lots of union and coop workers work more than 8 hours a day. I think you mis-understand that unions and coops are about employees having a say. If the employees want to work more for less in exchange for equity they can. All unions are not

Nobody said anything about removing the profit incentive. Workers having a say can be setup in a lot of way, it does not require direct veto power. There have been and are many successful coops. The argument is these are not somebody else’s

Employees did not agree to the systems of corporate governance we have. There is no real choice, and not working means starving. Nobody is pretending we live in a different system, they are trying to change it. The level of defeatism you ar

Employees do not have a say, that’s the discussion. It seems like you are arguing that a startup has to have worse working conditions for employees than other companies.

This argument that “if you don’t like it you can leave” is just too simple, and not in good faith. There are more options in the world than staying and going, and there’s more to it than not liking a job. I encourage you to stop thinking so

I’ve gotta be honest here, I really don’t know what you’re trying to say. Workers having a say at their workplace is a burden? Working at a big company somehow solves this? Having a say at your workplace and working at a startup is too much

You are sidestepping a massive amount of factors that allows somebody to create their own business. Even then, a company grows on the backs of its employees, and there quickly comes a time when a single person should not have complete contr

If the solution to a problem is have lots of money, it’s a solution for only a tiny portion of people, and not generally applicable.

To say this person joined and then tried to subvert is a pretty dishonest reading of this story. They worked on something for 12 years and I’m sure there were many others similarly invested. To spend such a significant portion of your life

Here is the same story again. Sorry to hear about the inevitable ending, but glad they got to experience a good work culture for a time. At some point I hope we can shift the union discussion from just benefits and wages (which are not the

I’ve been wanting something like this but there’s a few big things that stick out to me. Why is it configured via json instead of scripting? Declarative task/build tools are just not as nice as something where you can write code. Speci

Well that’s exciting, congratulations to the SQLite team. The new type checking and json support makes SQLite a pretty amazing option for even more use cases.

I tend to think of it the same way I think of moving to an eventually consistent database. You do it when you have to, and as little as possible. You correctly identified the overhead of these approaches is massive and has implications bigg

Agreed, refreshing to see a main headline and story actually capturing the state of low wage labor in the US, along side a small but growing movement of people no longer willing to put up with it.

This is honestly quite exciting.

We use it as a rest api framework for a react front end and it’s just fine. Performance is not really and issue for us so far. If you like express you will like Ktor, but you will find less libraries for middleware stuff. Exposed is also pr

This was my perspective as well when I worked in a cost center. Working for a company that sees making software as something that generates profit entirely changed the relationship. I would personally rename this article “don’t work in a co
