In your last sentence, the converse also applies to would be trendsetters denigrating mature technologies. I think that the key problem is that people in this industry are quick to…

upvoted for triton+smartos - hear hear

+1 tannhaeuser. I live in a more heterogeneous environment than what docker can provide, and it seems to me that the ground docker covers is like you said, application packaging. T…

And the mainframes that run our banks, transportation systems, healthcare, public safety.. etc etc. Use the right tool for the job, price it against what the market will bear. Pace…

Tech pop-culture... Navigating these technology growth explosions is like searching for solid reference architecture in a booming shantytown. Some parts of these settlements eventu…

Thanks softawre, what triggered me is the sensationalist title and general bashing of monorepo's (which a large percentage of impressionable readers will walk away from this articl…

One thing I heavily enjoy about monorepo's (I'm talking java/c#/c++ projects) is the ability to navigate the entire codebase from within an ide. That alone has caused me to migrate…

Yes! This brings to mind Donald Knuth: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."

Here here yowlingcat. Article is a way too prescriptive and agreed, borders on irresponsible. Monorepo vs polyrepo argument is way too broad a subject to create generalized stereot…

I'm still fighting the sneaking suspicion that putting kubernetes/etc out to the general public and having such a fast release cycle was just a genius play by the big cloud vendors…

At the risk of tarnishing my reputation amongst the hacker news docker/kubernetes hypecycle elite, have an upvote. The I.T. industry in general is funny. New technologies come and …

Do you hear that whooshing sound? It's the point I was making that flew right by you.

Let me clarify, proxmox (or the vsphere web ui for example), would be a fantastic management ui on top of the smartos engine that would bring some gravity to accrete userbase. Some…

Love SmartOS! IMHO zones set the bar on containers back in the 2000's, and SmartOS is the evolved logical progression of this. It's truly a ferrari. However, it needs a paint job t…

Job Scheduling.. We're using jenkins heavily at one of my clients sites for this (it's already used for builds, so scheduling jobs didn't seem that far afield..) The thing I'm miss…

April fools trolling experiment: recast something like perl5/cgi as the new backend web hotness with an edgy name and flashy tutorials. But does perl5 even need hype? Soon it'll ag…

This +1000. :) People, remembering to focus on core-competencies, making the world a better place.

Thanks shoo, that made me chuckle - maybe I'm feeling a bit too angsty this Friday evening. I love all of the new development, we're going great places, we just need to prescribe t…

> Containers allow you to move apps trivially between environments and guarantee that they will just work. Assuming your staff can keep your cluster un-screwed, am I right? Technol…

That would come as a surprise. Solaris is alive and well thank god https://www.oracle.com/solaris/solaris11/index.html

That perspective is a case by case. From the perspective of a sysadmin who is powerless to make decisions and not taken seriously by his/her management, maybe you're right. From th…
