I hear you, I really do. I wish I had not met so many brilliant people that have the linus attitude. I would say maybe linus influenced them, but they are both on the windows and linux sides. These people I continue to work with because th

Maybe it's because I do not use IRC hardly ever? I have worked at 3 extremely well known technology companies, 3 start-ups, and had dozens and dozens of consulting projects. I have managed teams between 3 and 40 people, co-ed teams, an

so, just to be clear, you you would vote for a CoC that would not put up with people that are coarse like linus, even if they do not harass people or engage in worse activities? On the one hand, I would love if we could change those peopl

Sorry, I realized I forgot to append: can you link me? I'm interested. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply - I will read it. This is something that is interesting to me, and I hope it doesn't come across as I am taking sides - but more asking questions and expressing my first initial fears, given my experience with so

Agreed on the hard to kick linus out of linux. However, this is an interesting discussion. Linus (to my knowledge, please feel free to post evidence otherwise) has not been racist or displayed misogynistic behavior, has he? So, here you ha

Interesting that I am getting down voted multiple times in this thread. Maybe I don't understand down votes? Definitely trying to be polite here and ask serious questions. Can anyone link me to these, I'm genuinely interested.

I read the linked article. Didn't see them, nor have heard about them. Daily user of go for multiple years now.

What prevents someone like linus torvalds from being kicked out for cussing at people? Would linux be where it is today? Those are the type of people I am referring to. Not racist people, for example. Now I understand that his issues are

Agree that mis-conduct on the internet is always in poor taste, and also agree that sometimes pointers can help people with some basic tips that make their quest to give or receive help more palatable. Having said that, I certainly hope tha

Zenefits and zenpayroll have easy to spot ads running on google right now. Most startup's spend an enormous amount on marketing to get any traction. I'm sure there is more examples like Slack that did not use much marketing, but

would love to hear examples of successful startups that did not do any marketing. especially ones that are tech/Internet startups. also - while AWS can make infrastructure convenient to scale up, rarely is it cheaper. It certainly can

Interesting points. I guess time will tell. Having used go for awhile now, these points just don't bother me. Least hackable is a hard thing to define, but as you've defined it I suppose I agree, albeit in this context it often

I agree that the JVM is way, way ahead when it comes to things like agents and monitoring. For me personally, those aren't a big of enough of a win. I would rather have simple code that is fast to scale and fast to understand. Dealing

by spotman 11y ago
Sure, there is some nice things about the JVM. However, for me, Java was the first language to get ditched when I got comfortable enough with Go to accomplish similar tasks. Reasons are many, but Go definitely wins "single native binar

This was my favorite quote/sentence in the article. For me it feels extremely true. I am one of those people that has to write, read, debug and maintain large software systems. Sure generic's would be nice, but I do not feel the

So, basically, the continuous integration system that the docker team uses to do continuous integration, makes heavy use of docker. This is not meant to sound terse, but that is not that interesting. How about writing about how you setup th

agreed in spirit, but politely disagree in practice, at least in the context of an absolute statement. auto scaling data stores can be sql or nosql based, and there is a ton of nosql data stores that have no concept of autoscaling at all. w

The 0MQ guide is one of the best pieces of documentation ever written. I read it years ago and continue to refer to it periodically for both projects that I use 0MQ for, and projects I don't. It's simply a rad guide. Highly reco

It loads now. However, can't login as it demands an email. For something like a demo, this seems a little overkill. For something I might host for my employees or people I intend on collaborating with I guess it makes sense.

Does the demo work for anyone? Would like to check it out, but does not load, just hangs.

No, this website, combined with the fonts, makes it look very out of place, and just awkward.

Agreed. more and more jobs are being automated and going away. Both in big ways and smaller ones. Heck sometimes as a programmer I have bad feelings about making things more efficient for humans, thereby requiring less of them. In my ca

Yeah, so true. Just had to retire a server a couple weeks ago, because of a new vulnerability discovered in its IPMI firmware. It's a bummer, because if your support contract runs out, sometimes you have to pay to upgrade, which leaves
