Curious why you think Mercurial was a better product. I used it over a decade ago (coming off SVN) and it seemed to use a lot of similar concepts.

I agree. Usually your best people have an easier time finding new jobs and are the first to go. That will also work against future hiring when you no longer have the talent to draw…

Working as expected. https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/09/rto_quit_study/

Ottawa was tricky because the jurisdiction belongs to the OPS, which fumbled the entire situation from beginning to end. It wasn't entirely clear if that was intentional either. Th…

It's Active Record that makes rails code re-use especially unique. I don't know of any other framework where you can 1) be certain of the ORM 2) add database tables from a third pa…

Ruby is practically the pseudocode they teach in schools. Which is selected for it's intuitive and simple nature.

It's a great tool for those that want to build CRUD apps quickly and get 99% of the things right. That speed comes from code re-use (mostly gems). Once you get experienced in rails…

What if their decision making is just doing what everyone else is doing?

Latency is important to sales and it hasn't been an issue for Shopify. In my experience, you need people that understand how to scale things more than you need a scalable language.…

Something like this only works if your leadership team believes in it. If they give and receive feedback through the same system, align incentives to keep it going. Then this kind …

Your biggest expense will be people. Rails is ancient at this point, but I regularly see people ship product with it in fractions of the time. You can also re-write parts in rust l…

>Pick people, not projects. I follow this as well and it makes life better.

Redis is a cache

Yes, this would be for one quarter. I also agree it is quite similar to an ESPP, especially for the majority of people. I doubt many would be willing to allocate 80-90% of their to…

An ESPP is directing earned cash into stock. You buy the stock at time of payment. This is directing equity into RSUs or ISOs at the open of the window. You will be subject to pric…

It is bad. I dislike most "smart" things though, so take my agreement with a grain of salt.

If there is a culture of valuing writing, wikis work. The tool can only improve or detract from what is already there.

That is every project when the team is dysfunctional. Your language won't save you.

1Password started and currently has a self-hosted option. They are actively migrating to a SAAS model to justify monthly subscriptions instead of licenses.

The master/replica setup is interesting because we did something similar at Shopify, but I don't believe this is conventional for redis cluster. Can you expand on that a bit? eg: L…

TAO uses MySQL doesn't it? Would that make it more of a service built on top of MySQL, rather than a unique graph database?
