We've moved a lot of services into Kubernetes and broken things up into smaller and smaller micro-services. It definitely eliminates a lot of the complexity for developers ... but you trade it for operational complexity (e.g. routing,

@NonNull etc are not completely meaningless ... if you run SpotBugs it can be set up to fail your build if the contract specified in the annotations isn't met. I love static analysis!

I am unique! It looks like the main culprit is that I'm running Firefox Developer Edition so my reported version is a tiny percent of all users and combined with Linux, Firefox, UTC-5 and en, that makes me one in 1561147.

I saw that and assumed that the $50k wasn't actually wasted ... they just ended up with a cohort of customers that wasn't as profitable (unless of course the cost of maintaining those customers exceeds the other 2/3rds of the

The invite-only nature will only benefit the site while it's small. It will either stay small or suffer the same users as other sites. The down-vote with reason feature is nice.

I've got almost 30 years of notes ... those notes have proven prior art for patents I didn't believe in and establish the date of invention for work I've created. There are good reasons for scientists and engineers to keep a

I wasn't mentally prepared and the enormity of what we were undertaking hit me hard for the first few months. My youngest is now a year away from college and I'm happy to say that having kids has been one of the best aspects of m

Really? One trick I've seen that comes to mind is that the controlling shareholder sells the company to himself (really another operating entity) at a low-ball price. You'll get a little bit of cash but your 40% would be gone.

"I own 40%" If you own part of the company you don't just give that up without there being express wording in the charter (or whatever contract/paperwork you used to create the company). The problem you have is that rig

I just played around with git-bug a bit ... I like it! It's kind of what I had in mind but I was going to create a BE compatibility mode. What it does do differently is stores the bugs in the reference tree so that no files are added

I have a clone of the final repository state and had created a Java implementation in about 2013. I was interested in integrating it with Github and Eclipse at the time. Now I'm wondering about resurrecting that project and convertin

Calling me "mister" was never required (and makes me feel old). Working for start-ups (or start-ups within large companies as was the case with ARRIS gave me the opportunity to constantly teach people my job and then create a n
