Absolutely - anyone who focuses this much on personal life during an interview is almost assuredly clueless as to how to manage people.

I've got one of each and they are unquestionably the best things I've made, done or invested in.

I'm consistently shocked by the number of people who have never heard of this principle. Introducing arbitrary numerical limits (emphasis on _arbitrary_, as performance limitations…

Examples of issues Ive seen in the wild because people violate this rule include payroll systems with an arbitrary maximum number of pay codes and review app systems with a static …

Cue is one of the most exciting developments that's impacted me professionally in recent years. I can't advocate for it enough.

Not sure what you mean. Sometimes the word API is used in one sense, sometimes in another. It's a useful distinction insofar as it allows you to talk about APIs as things used by p…

I want the author of htmx to get together with the guy from pandastrike and rant about the misuse of REST for an hour a week. It would be my new favorite podcast.

An API is also the interface used by humans to create programs. When you use a library, you're using its API. This sense of the term API is often lost.

Very cool - thank you for sharing. I like the idea of task-based benchmarking for UI toolkits, and I'm also happy to see more tview code for me to study.

90% of SREs and SRE managers haven't read the SRE book(s). 99.9% of folks hiring SREs or starting SRE teams haven't read the SRE book. The SRE book (and its sequels) say quite plai…

That story was truly a horrific vision of the future.

Has this been translated into English? Cursory googling returns nothing.

Agreed - this idea is often cited by fans of the book 'Team Topologies'. Its important here to distinguish between the idea of _an_ internal platform team and a _platform engineeri…

This looks great and I hope to deploy it and kick the tires soon, thanks for sharing. Currently I've been using movienight[1] for this, but it sounds like your app is much more fea…

Newer solutions which use abstraction layers like postgREST will hopefully result in easier migration down the road - but I doubt most products/projects use such a thing.

This. I went down this road for some time before I reached a point with Pharo where I feel comfortable doing things their way.

You don't need any boilerplate to write an operator - you can write an operator in any language. I've written several in python and they all clock in under 300 sLoC

Thanks for the leads on this - very excited to look further into it.

These projects are a source of fascination to me, however a persistent question for me is how do these more symbolic approaches to cognitive modelling figure in today's world of ML…

This person gets it. Which is rare - do you want a job? :) But seriously, you hit upon something which is important, but very hard to communicate/admit - a big part of making the "…

This is why I like the 'platform engineering' meme - much better way to frame the value proposition. See: Thoughtworks' blogs and podcasts on platform-engineering-centric topics.
