Isn't that market dominated by a few, or at the max, no more than 10-15 companies? My point is just that are there really more than a few dozen or maybe a hundred companies that see more than 1000 req/sec (on web apps)?

I haven’t looked at the code, but I hope someone who has been using Python for 20+ years knows how to write and use it properly... so yeah, I’m inclined to agree with you.

I’m not sure how many people will ever even work on CRUD apps of that scale. Even a mere 1,000 req/sec adds up to 86.4M per day. That sounds like something at least as popular as Stack Overflow, for example. How many web apps are there

If one were to write perfectly type-annotated Python, and a hypothetical perfectly annotated standard library existed, what’s preventing a faster runtime being developed with performance similar to C#, for example? That will never happen, s

I’ve done all of that. I guess it depends on the codebase, but transitioning to Python 3 wasn’t so difficult, I suppose it should only be easier now than it was in 2016/17. Coming back to Python in 2019, it seems almost mandatory to be

To play devil's advocate, consider how many people you know that work in so-called "bullshit jobs". TBH, I know plenty of people whose jobs are not that meaningful - yes, some of them create "value" in one way or an

Coming from mostly Python/JS, I also found Go quite tedious. I don't have much experience with C, though. I actually spent quite a bit of time trying out Go for a new project recently. While it's performance and deployment ch

Your comment reminds me that (AFAIK) there aren’t really great rental sources for many pieces of gear. I have often wished something like this existed, and not even for computers (considering I am a dev and have a MBP). But, it would be nic

Seems like such an odd name for a cord that “stops” production... I imagined by the naming that the world must have resumed flight of the 737 Max or something like that. “And.... on!” or a race “and... go!”. Good to know, I wasn’t aware of

Is this somehow related to the recent articles on historic problems with rudder design in the 737?

In what world is anyone using PVC to make bass traps? Every advice I have seen uses rockwool or something like Owens Corning 703/705. I am assuming you are not referring to the structure used to contain the acoustic material.

Men are such horrible creatures! I understand the sentiment, sadly, being a male, there’s little I can do to thwart its own impact on my social life, except, of course, not be creepy. Oh wait, you said “in pursuit of romantic and sexual int

Not sure if I agree that no one really knows how to do it, but yeah, software is not as disciplined as something like civil engineering. And for most things, it doesn’t need to be. For others, their teams operate much more slowly and with m

To add to this, in no circumstance have I ever seen developers spending 100% or even close to 90% of their time actively writing code or thinking about code and working. Heck, for most of the ones I’ve worked with, it’s probably closer to 6
