Nowadays the IT world is so huge you have to narrow it down a bit. People working in FANG in the Bay Area do very different things to the helpdesk of your local school district. You should narrow down what exactly you mean. Things like the

Biggest problem I had with Akka was that it was that it worked better with Scala than Java. As Java recently has re-taken most of Scala's momentum its a bit awkward fit.

I have the opposite experience. PMs who are technical that are clueless about people management or management in general.

I know its a trope here, but why are there a lot of devs in Netflix. I'd think you'd need a few dozen people. Plus basically what has changed in 10 years?

Thanks. I've been in the situation before where you complain about your job every day then look around and realize the job actually is pretty good.

Thanks, I dont interview much and now that I'm looking I realize it really hurts me. I'd love to know if its best to apply for do a few jobs a year or dozens. I haven't seen many stats on this, you just see people getting new

How many interviews do you line up at a time? I can only set up a few at a time because I find it gets unmanageable.

> performance tuning, re-configuration, and scaling back of some load. That seems to be a great thing if you can sit at the edge and scale the number of connections coming in. I just wish our system could do that.

Negative is normal right now. We're all burnt out, we're all sick of working from home, Covid is fading but its been an extreme time. Plus some people have made loads of money while we watch front line workers basically dying doin

Yeah my sympathies, its tougher than it used to be. Wish we had you on our team, our first level support doesn't do anything except bounce processes then escalate. :)

My deep seated fear is that some fundamental infrastructure will fail, Database, dns, DDoS, there are so many things that can go wrong. Esp with big old code bases. Many developers really dont care what happens in production, leaving a subs

I'm pretty sure getting married at 18 and looking after 12 children will keep you busy enough.

You're right that US isn't as bad as other countries. US though has higher property taxes, in most states 1-2% of the value of the house each year. This makes houses less affordable, and prevents crazy high prices.

Yeah its happening because fintechs are getting around the rules that were introduced on the traditional banking system. Anti money laundering, KYC, loan regulations, rules to open branches in certain demographics, dodd-frank etc - all this

Kinda feel this is just going to be normal. Cameras and storage are so cheap and just getting cheaper. Wouldn't surprise me to see 100x as many cameras in 10 years.

Its cheaper only because container storage isn't priced correctly. If the containers were charged at $HIGH_RENT/day storage fee the owners would pay someone to get rid of them.

It seems weird that there is no incentive to put empty containers on an empty boat to China, esp when there is a shortage of containers in China. Maybe the port should charge higher rent for storing empty containers? There is something mis

I think it works best when you have multiple languages in one process. Eg a Java app passing data to an embedded python script, where both languages manipulate the same data structures in memory.

Thanks I wasn't sure why wasm was mostly limited to C++/Rust right now but the memory makes sense. Flutter is great except for Dart - another language.

Its not about being run for profit. Its why should anyone build a house in the middle of nowhere and expect the govt to spend whatever it takes to get connected.
