This resonates with me a lot. I chuckle sometimes when I see things like your fridge (or a smart kitchen) will order items for you by predicting things for you need. In future, it seems tech will do transactions with other tech with lesser

The comment is a general one. Also it is not a criticism, it was a question because lot of govt are making their tracing app open source. However, since this is a tracing app and being open source would imply "look, our app is clean, c

How does one know whether the app in playstore is compiled from this very repo + specific commit and not some other fork of it? Edit: This is not questioning this particular app. A lot of govt are making their tracing app open source [1]. S

This is indeed very well put. However sometimes due to nature of the idea it is hard to evaluate the extent of downside in advance and what may seem like a limited downside actually turns out to be worse.

Roughly, if an org is considered as a system, then entropy of it will continue to increase. To keep the order, more and more energy needs to be spent. This energy is in the form of developing internal tooling, more explicit communication wh

Few points based on my experiences with (Micro) services: Note: None of these are cast in stone. These have worked well for us 1. Decide in your team/org what constitutes a new version and what it means. Does every change means version

Ownership. There are other things but this is the single biggest adjustment one will have to make. In other languages say C++/Go/Python, you have a shared buffer in two threads. Both threads have mutable access to it but you know

I think so. Off-course this is my belief and based on different opinions/experiences shared by people over last 3-4 years.

This is going to open the flood gates. I am sure lot of people were just waiting for this moment for Rust adoption. I for one was definitely in this boat. Also, this has all the goodness: open-source, high quality engineering, design in ope

Go is simple & simplicity scales when it comes to development (learnability, dev-effort, tooling, etc). So from a manager's point-of-view he/she can hire/train people far more quickly with Go than Rust. As much as I love

Yes. To put it in other words "simplicity scales" in terms of number of people. It helps to commoditise things faster and lower the cost (i.e learning, operating, hiring, tooling cost etc).

With C++ even if your project follows this, there is no way to enforce this across your project's dependencies & wider eco-system. With Rust, its entire ecosystem (however nascent) is subjected to the same strict rules. This is

The biggest issue which is inherent to the language is the learning curve. I feel there is limit beyond which language cannot be made easy to learn. I still claim it is worth learning Rust, however my point should still stand. From personal

In my experience it does get better, but for most of the people to expect to be productive as they would in Golang, Python, etc would be unrealistic. Rust changed my thought process permanently because it forces you to think a lot of things
