Do you take into account storage? Having zero electricity at night or on cloudy days is not an option. So it’s either batteries or nuclear. On the scale of powering a city, what make more sense?

Yeah I’m confused too, I thought Shopify was a platform like Wix where you could only customize the UI. Are these apps for hosted installations where you can run arbitrary code?

Are we talking about tools or enterprise software? Slow and steady carefully written software never existed for the latter, it was always a mess of moving requirements. I’m not sure what’s worse between previous grandiose UML specified soft

How the blame can be on the consumer? They don’t even have a clue what a front end is. Just look at Adobe customers to see if they are happy with the cloud for their apps.

Maybe differentiating between types of software could help? Desktop apps or games don't seem to have the same requirements as system and development stuff. As a Mac user I'm indeed pretty happy to have both app bundles and the Hom

Maybe that‘a what you get in some internet communities, but in reality just look at the ratio of old vs new cars or any stuff. Buying the new and shiny is still the norm. Also don’t confuse buying less things with buying crap, like a well h

What is a good developer? Isn't there more than one axis? For my case over the years I have honed my skills at problem solving, seeing the big picture, and finding the most efficient technical solution from a business perspective (not

Yes my comment was poorly worded it misses something like "unless you have a strong case for it". Also there was a title change on HN, previously it was "Duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction", she also s

Bring the idea that abstraction has a cost, like technical debt. It’s not something to be proud of, on the contrary, it must be justified and serve a true purpose and not be only an intellectual satisfaction.

by tarsinge 6y ago
That’s not what I get from the article. The problem does indeed occurs at step 2 and 3: leave duplication alone and don’t introduce abstraction if you are not sure about future requirements.

A confusion that I had at first before going further into the Openstreetmap ecosystem: OSM is not a ready to use app and some alternative to Google Maps the app, it's a lower level database on which front-ends renderings with a tileset

Not everyone is a free speech absolutist who sees it as the most fundamental value. There are plenty of things we as a society decided we should ban to protect people. Can you have the opinion that it's ok to kill people? Would society

The real question for me is why would Uber investors put the kind of management that view software as a cost center? In this context that's a pessimistic signal for their future, at least for their current valuation, if not the sign of
