Man, just let it go. More you try to block Epic or any other, more you are pushing people away from yourself. Be Apple, innovate, give us second iPhone moment so you wouldn't worry…

Do I still need to worry about vacuum and bloat or does Neon intelligently handle these?

Just for the tradition, I would like to leave a comment: "I don't see how this will work. There is nothing here you can't do with Postgres schemas"

Whatever you are most productive with.

10x = It takes 10 people to clear the mess they left behind. In my 15 years of career, all people I have seen who were referred as 10x were the people who took terrible shortcuts t…

It increasingly feels like the decisions taken and the work done at Shopify API / Libraries / CLIs / Docs etc are done for promos, rather than thinking about DevEx of people who tr…

I think the SRE role in Google is the best implementation of the role. They have 2 tracks called SRE-SWE and SRE-Systems Engineer and actually both are expected to write software m…

Seriously, what's the difference from the last time this is shared at HN?

Postgres has index concurrently which is better or few other instant things which MySQL 8 also has but you still need to be careful. But some things like adding a column with defau…

No, especially on large tables with billions of records. They make online schema changes impossible. More details: https://github.com/github/gh-ost/issues/331#issuecomment-266...

Whether Leetcode is necessary can be discussed but this person doesn't add anything to the discussion. Almost disconnected 7 paragraphs of text and the conclusion is FAANG and S & …

I am sorry for the experience, I hope she beats it quickly. I feel like the secret agenda in the UK is making NHS so bad, people would beg to have some sort of health service, cost…

Which Uni you had the masters from? Would you suggest them?

thanks

I skimmed through it but still didn't see any part describing how is the local dev env is? Let's say that you work on a service that does something for ad serving, how do you write…

The problem I see is especially in small / mid level companies' contexts, directly trying to jump to DDD usually ends up with a really weird, half-assed implementation. On top of t…

Hi, looks really great! Thanks for this great piece of tech! I have a question regarding the migrations, in the website you say it's safe to run them with automated flow, we know i…

Yeah, I was talking for the perm roles. If you go to the contractor route, 600, 650 is quite doable. For higher as you said, it's networking, how people see you and what kind of pr…

Speaking for London, if you would like to have £180K+ FAANG or Hedge Funds / Trading is your only option and unfortunately they ask leetcode questions. Some of them go crazy and as…

I had pretty similar story when I was at Apple, as an SRE. I haven't been in the company for long time, so just before he was making prep for putting me on PIP, handed my resignati…

I guess with 8 something years at Meta, if the RSUs were not spent stupidly, considering the stock appreciation and the refreshers, it would be safe to say this person's net worth …

Hi, I'm a SWE working at one of the big tech co. and I'm based in London. It's possibly the same in SV, but in London the amount of money you earn at big tech co is easily 2x if it…

Thanks for the answer!

Great work! The part I don't understand is how do you find the motivation to write such time taking things? Outside work? At work? I guess you don't know whether this would be prof…
