There are a lot of reasons for spillover in my experience. They’re all interrelated. First and foremost is that most product/project managers, engineering managers, “scrum masters”, etc. do not truly love doing the work of backlog refi

I always found this interesting because I grew up in a rural area and the debate judges were frequently not familiar with the metagame of debate, or could be aware but were downright hostile to it. Among my friends it became its own metagam

I think the phrasing of the title is incongruous to the material presented. It’s a bit anecdotal- not that I don’t think this thing isn’t real so much as I’m not sure what the real impact is. My guess is that NIMBYs, while frequently annoyi

Almost comically hyperbolic. Today, you do have a right to host anything (within reason) you want on anything you own. You can’t be arrested for jailbreaking your phone, and you have every right to buy alternative devices if those don’t sui

I’m not sure about this, but I think there’s a pretty good and absolutely foregone conclusion that the world is actually extremely fucked up in new ways, growing in metastatic ugliness every year, and that it really is this Bad News that pe

Sure, then don’t use k8s. If you need extremely resilient leaf node architecture or high volume communication from distributed machines, then that’s a good time to start looking at k8s. Your lack of charity reveals your naïveté: the analogy

A lot of people use instagram where NSFW content is banned. Most people wouldn’t post or look at NSFW content online if it was related back to their IRL selves. There’s certainly a big niche for a “more wholesome web”. While I think it’s go

Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a good one on punctuation. Dreyer’s English is a good recent one. Woe Is I is a classic. There are a lot of style guides and fun little books about grammar and editing. My partner is a editor at a publishing hou

I think the point is that if your home surveillance system encourages you to notify police about about any feels-related issue, then that can add a really nasty edge to your or your neighbors unconscious bias. It’s one thing for me to get f

In my experience one of the main reasons for wanting to scrap code is not only that it has scaling/other tech issues, it also has very poor separation of concerns. Granted, that concept can and should be introduced into old codebases.

This is the plague of hiring senior engineers, and one of the reasons we needed a new code test/challenge to get fewer bool flippers in our senior engineer hiring process. If you make them do something complicated/complex you get

In the case of gold or other assets, sure, you can hold it, but the risk (op identifies this) is that you will be killed during the revolutionary war and it won’t matter. Crypto could (and may still be) heavily regulated or even outlawed by

Yeah that’s my understanding and experience from watching our recruiting process. It all comes from the top level “strategy” sessions where they project a recession but fail to project for any amount of turnover.

That’s actually a good point. I think the covid era is unique though because the “labor shortage” still hasn’t been worked through. A lot of people straight up died, retired early, became shutins, etc. and I’m very certain some sectors have

I too use services and they are where the business logic lives. In the case of “create user” they’re basically no-op repository methods, in the case of “sync user profile data” they may invoke storage or external service calls in a certain

I never claimed they did, I said if your code is SOLID then it doesn’t really matter if it’s a microservice or not, it will likely be useful up to the point where scaling/organizational/too many cooks/long deploy/spof p

Mega agree with this. It was really bad for my personal/career growth to get a ton of praise for doing things fast: granted, a lot of people doing the praising had precious little experience in tech themselves. I probably have 2-3 whol

I think the point here that is getting lost here (not on you necessarily) is that if you write your service clean/SOLID, it really doesn’t matter if/when/how you make that decision to cleave it off into its own service. Monol

The worst thing is the many-monoliths/mini-monoliths problem that you get when each team thinks it has ultra special needs and absolutely must build everything from scratch, even if it’s a near duplicate of something someone else built

Idk, I feel like HBO (or any mainstream tele studio) might butcher it by trying to hamfistedly make it a revisionist Western along the lines of “White Man Bad” without catching the actual point about evil being inherent in everything. Thats

Just curious why you think AI is destined to fail. Is it like a hard-AI is incompatible with consumer capitalism or a soft-AI is simply not a feasible money-maker within the current economy? Or just that a lot of this is overblown and won’t
