Well, if you work in an enterprise setting, and if this setting is just right, you can get paid well to build a lot of interesting things, and have all the choices in how to build.…

I have kind of the same personal experience - a couple of days answering questions about the scalability and resilience of a fictional web app and enterprise integrations. I’m very…

Exactly this. Having spent almost three decades in enterprise context I see a lot of reinvention of something like a poor mans, unstructured, enterprise architecture - because AI a…

There’s a place for everything. Most coding tasks take place outside of pure tech companies, if I’d venture a guess. And let’s be honest, enterprises in general do not value that q…

This is most likely due to the fact that it is really bad at resetting blinker when the steering wheel is straight’ish again. Extremely annoying as any other car is much more sensi…

Even if we still make a mess I think centralization of the mess is better than distributing it - what I mean is that polluting cities where millions sleep, eat, drink and breathe w…

Using AI doesn’t really change the fact that keeping ones and zeroes in check is like trying to keep quicksand in your hands and shape it. Shaping of a codebase is the name of the …

The problem is most likely not writing the actual code, but rather understanding an old, fairly large codebase and how it’s stitched together. SO is (was?) great when you where thi…

The argument is perhaps ”enshittification”, and that becoming reliant on a specific provider or even set of providers for ”important thing” will become problematic over time.

As go feels like a straight-jacket compared to many other popular languages, it’s probably very suitable for an LLM in general. Thinking about it - was this not the idea of go from…

”Same here” meaning moving to Hetzner, but from Azure - could’ve made it less ambiguous! Might throw together a post on it eventually: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=43216…

Same here, but Azure. About 90% saved, with a very similar stack. It is a great big cloud play to make enterprises reliant on the competency in their weird service abstractions, wh…

Cursor have a nice ”docs” feature for this, that have saved me from battles with constant version reversing actions from our dear LLM overlords.

We’ve gone full-on full-code. Although we’re using temporal to schedule the workflows, we have a full-code typescript CI/CD setup. We’ve been through them all starting with Jenkins…

Of all the paas providers Azure have the worst abstractions and services. In general I think it’s sad that most buy in to consuming these ”weird” services and that there’s jobs to …

Writing the code is NOT the problem with these enterprise project failures. Usually decades of problem-solving have led to an absolute mess of blurry ownership and accountability. …

CRUD applications are not what most enterprises build though - they need interconnected flows of data & state-machines often supporting rather complex workflows and integration pat…

Just take the foot off the accelerator gradually. The kia I drive still roll at a couple of km/h when accelerator is fully released and will not hit 0 unless you use a paddle by th…

But you rarely have to brake an EV though. I’ve had two EV’s over the last 6 years, and I have to remember to occasionally hit the brakes to keep them from rusting. One pedal drivi…

In my experience people usually spend to much time trying to figure out what is most important instead of just doing an important thing.

But you wrote the docs and documented it’s place in the enterprise knowledge graph, because you’re a professional, right? As an eng manager at an enterprise (not SV style tech) I d…

As an engineering manager I see problems with authority and process as something usually positive. This usually leads to more things getting done “right” than “wrong”. IME. Having …

Question is - what are you using airflow for? My experience with airflow have been in data ETL, and if so you are not the target for something like windmill. The target would most …

I’ve worked for years implementing tools like this in enterprises. My most fond memory was introducing a workflow platform to an enterprise with a fully outsourced IT-ops departmen…

They have “not only one way or the other” - they have “all the ways” and this is exactly the problem you want a solution like this to fill. We’re talking backoffice/cost-center wor…
