As a user of many Google products and an old timer who legit appreciates how Google actually made it possible to search the internet effectively, I am no longer a Google fanboy. I used to dream about working there while knowing that I'

This is the thing about "OAuth isn't about authentication" argument. . . there is quite a bit of overlap between RBAC and authorization. And that in itself, if quite confusing. What most annoys me is that OAuth is also very m

AWS, Azure and GCP are going to see some growth from this. If you were an ESX customer and needed a good reason to finally embrace the cloud - here it is.

It's a comically bad look. But screw Zoom. I've never been a fan of Zoom or Slack, yet somehow they came out on top of the pile of video/chat message platforms.

I actually think Threads is a great name. . . it sounds like discussion threads. Also, the name Twitter is beyond awful because it sounds twitty! :) Seriously, I have no dog in this fight. I stopped using Twitter about a year ago when every

This, of course, isn't new. I once worked at a company that was tasked with migrating data out of a CM system built by a company where I had also worked about 10 years earlier. I ended up pinging one of the founders at the old company

Can you elaborate more on what was ignored? For one, I think it's mind blowing that they didn't have a good system for dependency management in place from the get-go. Things are pretty good now with go modules but it's like t

Go has been an acquired taste for me. I still don't love its syntax but the tooling and interesting combination of properties (GC, compiles to a binary, strongly typed) are what ultimately won me over. It's perfect for middleware,

This 100%. I'm an old shit but I too was younger once and paid rent and lived in/near the downtown area where I live. I totally regret throwing away all that rent money but anyway, here I am. At my old company, there were two main

I'm not looking to praise Zuck but he did at least try something new. That's how companies stay alive and vital and relevant. Innovation. He gambled big on VR and it didn't pay off. At least not yet. I don't think it wil

The thing about Facebook is that it started from connecting people: friends, families, long lost co-worker, etc. Nowadays, there's so much outside content (some of is interesting sure) that it's a lot more like Reddit or Twitter.

Exactly, came here to say exactly this. BTW, I don't think this in inherently evil, it's just a conflict of interests. Employer. Employee. Recruiter. Different incentives for all three parties.

True, but Python became more popular as a general purpose language. For example, Python starting shipping in most Linux distributions sometime in the late 2000s, Ruby did not. I didn't mean to imply that Ruby isn't or can't b

It's funny, you don't hear much about the Python/Ruby war anymore. Python was more of a general purpose language and had decent web frameworks (Django and Flask primarily). Ruby's main claim to fame was, and still is, Ra
