Sounds bad. Hope Rust Foundation get their act together.

Yup. Can we build the same for less "power users"? - A single startup file that starts up gitserver, a p2p node to enable repo discovery and submission of PRs. - A web/electrum client that provides PR merge interface, and lin

Wish we could stop using such msft run nonsense, and build a p2p decentralised PR system. What's the challenges we need to address to make it happen?

No it shouldn't. We can do without one more centralised gateway to apps.

Had a similar experience. Typed languages are great for systems development, and I think, not so good for writing web applications. I also think, Ruby, Python, JS have dominated web dev world largely cause they don't come in the way of

Well said! Couldn't agree more. The GraphQL confusion is one more bullshit in the world of web dev.

If you don't like REST, don't use it. Whatever you do, don't even think that GraphQL will solve your problems. You were on the right track staying away from it till now. I can't also advise enough to stay away from a typ

I like my front end team to not write queries. I have seen too many front end developers write queries equivalent to "select * from users, t1, t2, ... tn, left outer join on users.id = t1.user_id... etc etc etc". I think that is j

k8s and even docker are trying to solve a problem not many people will ever face. However, being the sexy new things loads of people get sucked into integrating it into their stack from the word go. Being reluctant to adopt new technology u

My personal mantra of being a late adopter when it comes to cloud deployment tools has some benefits has served me well. I am even reluctant to integrate docker in my work flow. Git pull, build and deploy bash scripts are serving me well en

I have been remoting for over ten years now. The only rule I have now is to work with remote first teams. If there's an office where a big clique meets, you'll eventually feel left out.

Thanks for sharing. Was a pleasure to read, and might inspire me to finally start keeping a journal. The title could easily be switched to the original title "Why I keep a journal - by the designer of Prince of Persia". Thanks for

Thanks for those links. I found them really educational. Does seem like we need some more tooling to avoid as much webpack pain as we can.

I have done close to a decade of work in js, with jQuery in 2008, all the way to react and webpacker madness. I hope someone builds a wasm based front end framework. I did a quick search and MSFT seem to be on it with their Blazor framework

Thanks for this excellent reply. I want to print this out and stick it up on a wall.

There's so much data in this universe, people don't know what to do with it. When people don't know what to do, an industry grows to let them "feel" they are doing something useful.

"Good state-sponsored malware should never show up in a backup" Fascinates me that state attacks are being normalised quite rapidly.

I am just counting on them not personalising my search results based on whatever data about me they have access to. If they don't personalise then they essentially don't "color my world view". I know google has a similar

DDG is simply awesome. I like to see the world as it is, not as some corporation thinks I like to see it as. Also, as comments do point out. No point using DDG on Chrome. One has to switch to FF - which is seriously fast enough for my daily
