We are a tiny bootstrapped startup. Spring is critical for us and we rely on RabbitMQ. This news is concerning to say the least.

I have a few tangential questions. What sort of salary are they expecting? Secondly, how long do they plan to stay at the company that invests in training them once recruiters start sending them better offers? A company can be good at: trai

You invented a problem. SPA team and Spring team have separate responsibilities. Our customers don’t care how it looks beyond ergonomics and functionality. It took us a long time to shift away from “SPA all the things” mentality.

Our web product went from AngularJS to React to Angular to Angular + Spring. The addition of Spring helped us introduce a useful constraint: if you can build it as an old-school page with Spring, don't put it into the SPA. Angular is r

Primarily non-tech people talk to it. It’s a bridge between our engineering team and everyone else. You can message it asking to look up some data or perform an action. Basically, things that everyone would have to wait for an engineer to d

Don’t be quick to dismiss “dead” or esoteric languages. They usually come with frameworks that solved virtually every problem imaginable over the years. Building a thing may involve programming but any veteran programmer would tell you that

Is there a linear slope between awesomeness of work and salary? In that case, wouldn’t it theoretically be possible to convince an engineer to work for free given enough awesomeness? Or, conversely, convince them to work on something profou

Would you have behaved differently if the dollar amount was lower? Or if the coupon was a % discount applied evenly to all products?

Yes, consistently. I know it will be used but want to ensure max ROI before we sink resources into building and maintaining it.

I meant literal money as a mental exercise. In my mind, if you literally couldn’t pay your customer to complete your training program, then you have bigger problems. Badges of honour is a good point, especially if there is a community porta

Fasting was one of the most memorable and shaping experiences of my life. I fasted for three days (72 hours of nothing but water) and observed so many interesting and fascinating things happening to my body each day: skin flare ups and subs

The Go standard library is excellent. When I wrote Go I always used it for reference and best practices. No other open source project really came close in my opinion except for other Google Go projects.
