If you're interested in hosting it at no cost on Oracle Cloud's always free tier (4 cpu, 24GB ram), instead of buying a Mac Mini or paying for a VPS, I wrote up how-to with a Pulum…

It doesn't, but from my perspective the thinking behind zero trust is partly to stop treating networking as a layer of security. Which makes sense to me - the larger the network gr…

Another interpretation of this is that the lead developer adequately mitigated the risk of errors while also managing the risk of not shipping fast enough. It's very easy to critic…

I really wanted to adopt tRPC but the deal breaker was it being opinionated on status codes without allowing configurability. Because I needed to meet an existing API spec, that me…

I think that's demonstrably false. His point about the runtime complexity of an API being entirely distinct from how the interface to it's code is exposed (whether GraphQL or REST …

Everything I needed to know about Russell's performance war was answered when, whilst he was working at Google, folk started asking him why he was naming and shaming companies for …

> Folks seems to lack a kind of basic economic perspective. I agree with most of what you said, but this seems a bit ironic. Your suggestions almost exclusively involve large inves…

Agree that try/catch is verbose and not terribly ergonomic, but my solution has been to treat errors as values rather than exceptions, by default. It's much less painful to achieve…

The reality is that I've heard unit, integration and e2e almost entirely used interchangeably, maybe except the former and latter. I don't think trying to nail down the terms to so…

I don't think it's poor to test http handling either, as a coarse grained integration test. The problem I've seen is over-dependence on writing unit tests with mocks instead of bit…

In the latter example, the question is really one of how tightly you wish to couple the application layer to that of the infrastructure (controller). Should the application logic b…

If you have an aggregate root, it is responsible for knowing when changes to the aggregate have occurred, and thus making those visible. What is the mechanism for it to do so? Does…

> Could you explain which aspects specifically require a lot of boilerplate code? Probably the most frustrating part for me is tackling domain events and the implementation of the …

This is interesting to me as someone who loves DDD but finds the tactical side hard to implement in Node. A few questions stand out: AFAICT implementing tactical DDD involves a lot…

Fargate is considered a serverless service. Serverless generally encompasses FaaS + BaaS. Think anything whose infrastructure you can use without touching the underlying VM(s): SQS…

This doesn't sound like the worst way to reduce expensive reads of normalised data. Is the implication that it should have been solved with views, was incorrectly normalised, or th…

I thought Messenger was ReasonML's flagship use-case inside Facebook. If so, it will be interesting to know what impact this has on its development.

Any chance you'd be happy to elaborate on what your role is? Are you primarily part of a dev-ops team, or tackling Kubernetes as part of developing the product? Did you obtain CNCF…

Or, phrased differently, from working another job.

A quote about salary, that I bookmarked as I could see myself making the same mistake: "Salaries never stay secrets forever. Hiding them only delays the inevitable. Last year we we…

Can you elaborate on what they are, for the curious?
