You're asking for net zero benefits at cost of adding hundreds of thousands of lines of code to your deployment path. That really smells of desperate developer that need to feel relevant just because they use the latest thing Like, how

Well, our Jenkins jobs still work decade after. Jenkins itself requires some care and feeding tho, mostly upgrades, especially if you use some plugins. Then again jenkins job can be as simple as "download a repo and run some code in it

Well, for one, you don't need docker in the first place

Eh, it's pretty trivial to do. The reason for 2 servers is high availability, not that it is easier in meaningful way. I run something similar on personal site and it's literally just 2 identical configs but with different port&#x

"smarter" means more code and that's rarely more maintainable. It's what you have to do if you want less downtime. Normally it shouldn't span much more than 2-3 versions of application and it's rare that the an

You can still do that in this kind of setup, just put loadbalancer like HAProxy on both that sends traffic to both nodes but prefers "the one that's local" in default config. Then you can use the LB to move traffic as fast or

For few of the small API-mostly apps I am particular to just embedding the statics into binary and have one blob to run and deploy, go:embed making it particularly easy. Container with it is just a few files in etc and binary blob itself. S

Applies to pretty much every resource. Monitor, monitor, monitor, then alert at the very least on thresholds, preferably on anomalies.

It's essentially just a process running in a cgroup so performance shouldn't be all that different than bare metal/VM postgresql. Main difference would be storage speed and how it exactly is attached to a container.

There is also problem of funding model. Like, how is even say a single developer of mildly popular lib doing one thing gonna setup financing ? Or get people to pay ? Anything from patreon to tips was tried to mild results at best

Probably used same registers as previous. Would be simple to confirm with some scope probing CPU power.

Well, post digital era we still buy/rent games, video and music. I don't see why something similar couldn't be done, pay monthly and you can read whatever your want, and what you read depends on where the money from your subs

Well, Perl kinda started where SED and AWK finished, and it does incorporate a lot of syntax from them, for better or worse. It makes it easy for quick & powerful one-liners but sadly people then put the one-liners into actual programs

It's not to avoid the difficulty, it's to make iteration safer and easier. Good luck seeing what failed if the craft that failed is flying somewhere between earth and mars

That's just weird way of saying that writing pays shit for vast majority of writers.

Sure but I think we went too far. Current copyright protections are aimed squarely at keeping corporate profits, with insanely long protection periods that in most cases end up profiting the company insanely more than the author. Similarly
