    Maybe this should be settled Musk v Zuck style for the internal tooling crown? On a more serious note how does this compare with Retool? I remember that doing the HN rounds in 2019…

    Etudes for Programmers is really hard to find to purchase - looks like it is around 450 USD on my local Amazon store and none in local libraries. Does anyone have a link to a PDF o…

    I got asked to write a book by Packt as a lead author with two years experience in a junior position. This was a (badly) paid role of like 800 GBP or something. Take from that what…

    I’ve heard a lot about Bazel but are there any good beginner tutorials? When I last looked it felt a little Nix-like (high learning curve to get through which I prefer to ignore fo…

    Imagine how much more productive we’d be if Kubernetes had VMMonads, and instead of yaml configs we have Kubernetes Combinators!
