I don't think it's satire at all - it's an earnest attempt to imagine how we might look back on current practices in the future.

Even their console has really basic bits of weirdness and friction. Like if you want to view the logs from a fargate container running in ECS (possibly one of the most boring things you can do on AWS): * For some reason, the log viewer with

I didn't realise how precise the reflections from retro-reflective materials were. I'd always just thought they were for high vis gear, cool to see such a creative use for them here!

They absolutely love adding them to previously functional systems even so!

The biggest issue IMO is that the safety standards more or less only seem to account for the driver/passengers. The EU equivalent has a pedestrian safety rating, that would be a good start.

It's vastly better than previous iterations on the same idea. Some (e.g. Airtable) are much better than others, perhaps because they have a clearer niche. Others are useful but drive you straight into a swamp called Technical Debt (ret

The result is that everything will look and feel slightly off, as the recreation of native elements will never be quite perfect.

The payroll, taxes, and labour laws are a big barrier at the moment. Even if you are happy hiring someone as an independent contractor to simplify the first two, how do you know that you aren't breaking local laws, e.g. about disguised

Neither of the suggestions for avoiding nested Lambdas seem very satisfactory - the situation described there is one which would make me consider if Lambdas were actually a good fit for my problem.

I gave up carting my webcam and stuff around with me - in 90% of zoom meetings it makes essentially no difference. I'm sure there's some specific scenario where Zoom will send actual HD video but they're pretty rare.

MSSQL comes with (very nice) temporal table support out of the box, if you can stomach the license fees.

There are various Kafka to Postgres adaptors. Of course, now you're running 3 bits of software, with 3 bottlenecks, instead of just 1.

I've also had much more success with "queues in postgres" than "queues in kafka". I'm sure the use cases exist where kafka works better, but you have to architect it so carefully, and there are so many ways to

I think the OP's point was that it forces you to do all the number crunching via those extensions, and if what you want to do doesn't match up with their APIs it's a bit of a pain. Granted, they have fairly complete and flexi

If that's fairly common it doesn't seem like a great setup? Why not automatically run the tests beforehand? And presumably there is no need for a staging env, since your code is deployed to production as soon as it has passed test
