Spotify conquered the living room. I recently canceled my Netflix subscription. I was an early and long time Soundcloud paid user. Also canceled that this year. Somehow Spotify keeps me hooked. The Discover Weekly is great. Listening to som

Hard to judge a book by its cover, but this will probably be picked up and canonized similar to the 37signals books and a handful of others. This is fine as long as new founders remember that these books are probably 50% (personal brand) ma

Practical example from the last ~8 months. I started building my somewhat non-trivial Saas [0] with MongoDB + NodeJS. Getting started was quick. Soon however, things started playing up: - transactions - aggregations (avg, percentiles), rol

Been writing a lot of Vue.js lately. Tried React, but hit the same snag when learning (ancient) Greek in high school: when I look at a page of JSX my mind just freezes. It's the type of symbols and the syntax that just make me glaze ov

Yes! Also things like Gitter and Slack are really messy for storing knowledge. Questions get lost, answers are interspersed with more questions. Maybe I'm getting old, but give me a forum based, one-thread per topic any time of the day

Slightly off topic: When in high school me and some mates actually found a dead body in the canal. This was not in Amsterdam but Utrecht, which has very similar canals. My school was right on the canal and it was an early winter morning. Tu

How did they end up on Azure in the first place? Any Gitlabbers here that know the story?

Your tone is snarky and dismissive, but I kinda understand what you are saying and it is very relevant in essence. Kubernetes as fashion is a thing and for many teams probably a trap where the time/money invested in the IT infrastructu

Awesome, don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Looks like the API checks would really be a good match for your IOT endpoints.

Thanks for the tips. Crazy how things like this can slip. The site is static and on AWS Cloudfront, but it's a quick port from the actual Vue.js app which makes it rather big. Will make it server rendered (and faster) in the future. Fo

This hits home. Literraly signed up the first paying customer for my monitoring SaaS [0] two days ago. It was done through discussing issues over mail, a tiny bit of “hand holding” and treating the customer as a launching partner (which the

In Amsterdam they already set the limit of allowed rental days per year to 30. Just last month the new city council announced they will completely forbid AirBnB in certain neighbourhoods. As someone who studied and worked most of his life i

Wow. The top answer on that one is terrible. I would advise the exact opposite. Istio!? Nice idea, but have you tried using it? That is some serious alpha stage software almost noone needs till very late in their tech maturity.

I've had a bunch of IT projects (almost) go off the rails because of this cultural "misunderstanding".

That is an awesome feature of K8s and similar orchestators. It is however just an HA (high availabilty) problem already solved many times over in many ways. Almost every PaaS system has it. All cloud providers have it. Getting K8s (or any o

I could throw the "you'll know it when you see it" but I'll try not to! 1. You have a large amount of underused hardware/VM 's you want to cluster. 2. You have an eloborate microservices system with a dynamic

Yes. That is exactly what I meant. Mea culpa for not being more clear.

Sorry for not being clear. There is nothing wrong with K8s features. It solves a specific problem really well. However, most people & companies I interact with don't have that problem. Or that problem is just a very marginal piece

The only part missing in most Kubernetes write ups is that you probably don't need it. I'm hopeful most engineers recognise this, although my day to day experience paints a darker picture. I know of at least one hot startup deploy

Having worked with Maven, Gradle, Ruby Gems, Pip and the non-existing Go package management I must say I actually really like the Node / NPM combo. I guess artists are their own worst critics. edit: forgot Scala's SBT, admittedly

Well, in my specific case it is also a security measure. In the context of a Saas you want very strict separation between user sessions. This was my main concern.

Excellent article and tips! I learned a lot from Joel's knowledge on Puppeteer and its intricacies. I'm running a somewhat different business of which Puppeteer is a pretty big part. All points made in the post are valid, I could

I'm using Puppeteer for website / transaction monitoring at https://checklyhq.com . People script their own checks and we run them for you on a cron like schedule and alert when things go off the rails.
