I think it fits well if you expect most projects to be a single engineer working full-time. An equivalent of up to €60k/yr full-time is a pretty good salary by most folks standards, even if it's not quite up there with top-tier en

Sure. I think a slightly wider remit would be perfectly reasonable too. It's just that kind of funding is a little more complicated to justify, as the outcomes are less well-defined. I'm sure there'll be existing projects wil

I think that's a rather negative outlook. Is the fund applicable to financing ongoing triage for projects? Nope. Is €30k worth of funding for 40 kicking off individual projects valuable and worthwhile? Hell, yes. Might the scope of an

That's not currently supported. We need recurring revenue rather than one-offs, so that's what I'm pushing for right now. Out of interest, is recurring something you'd consider if there was another lower-priced individua

I think it's neat demonstration. They've got a simple point to get across, and this is a decent enough way to make it.

Fair question. I can only speak from my own experience here: Productivity, productivity, productivity. Yes, there are faster, safer, and more modern languages out there. However Python for me still hits nails the hell out of getting stuff d

Anything you can share? Some good examples of networking code with async/await would be incredibly helpful. The documentation covers the primatives but I have a hard time putting it all together.

Indeed. But you can't guard against catastrophic system failures (out of memory, disk, processor time, corruptions) in the way you can with independant services.

The benefits of microservices aren't architectural. The point re. library APIs vs services APIs is completely correct, because that's actually not what the microservice style addresses. The point is rather organizational/op
