    Interesting, yeah I guess that makes sense. I always thought those strategy games were missing a competitive community and better PvP experience but I could also see how more repla…

    What do you mean by infinite variations here?

    What's an example of an idea that doesn't require you to be overly social? I would probably guess founders and sales in general requires a lot of social skills.

    Why would you need edge rendering for ssr? What's wrong with a regular server?

    If you need multiple versions of something running simultaneously then ya lambda might be simpler. In my experience, running a single monolith server will be much simpler than 20+ …

    I would argue that instead of starting with a Lambda Monolith and splitting routes out when they need to scale separately, you should be starting with an actual monolith and using …

    Gleam looks like a new language built to compile down to the BEAM. While you could call elixir or erlang libraries from Gleam code, using Phoenix probably wouldn't be useful. I ima…

    Gleam looks really interesting. I'm surprised, for some reason I was under the impression it was more like Sorbet or Mypy with type annotations in existing code and I had no desire…

    Having worked for one of those company's, I think the productivity of Rails is overstated. Yes it's quick to get a rough demo and POC working (which is already plenty quick in many…

    Cool! I was looking into monetizing my OSS idea just the other day and it seems much more complicated than it needs to be. Is your idea to build a marketplace and all the behind-th…

    I agree 15000 functions is overkill and I would never recommend something like that. I'm trying to explain why combining all 15k functions into a single Faas deployment is not goin…

    If you manage to lazy load your routes it may help with cold starts but I think you effectively lose the benefit of warm handlers since every request could use new code that needs …

    Comment #37971693

    In that case you are deploying a whole monolithic app to the Faas platform. This needs to be initialized on every cold start which takes longer the larger your code is. The main se…

    One of the things that bothers me the most with the cooperate software development rat race is how many problems are being solved over and over again. Every company is staffing the…

    I think the initial reaction of many (myself included) is pretty negative just based on the niche these products fall into. Something about a Twitter Influencer selling various pro…

    Is there any other industry where workers are so beholden to their employers that they cannot simply create something of their own without fear of legal action? How did we get to t…

    In my opinion that would be much more helpful than what was there before, it still gives preference to built in tools above all other criteria but you at least avoid the false impr…

    I think the problem with what you have now is that the feature comparison values "built in" above any other qualities. Obviously would require a much bigger article but I think the…

    Sure, maybe. How would you know without doing some research into a specific project? My point was that the feature checklist here is so surface level it's useless as a practical co…

    I wasn't expecting a deep and thorough comparison just from the headline... but the feature list and comparison text here is worse than I thought it would be, bordering on useless.…

    I think these stories and aversion to "clever" code end up hurting programmers overall. I wish we spent more time teaching how to choose the correct time and place to be clever ins…

    The best products and features I've ever worked on were run by engineering and design working very closely together, while the PM role was pretty much exclusively stakeholder / cli…

    Most small shop tech jobs in smaller cities pay very little comparatively. The OP said they were currently at FAANG, not that they have been at that level for 2 decades. Having wor…

    Good enough for who? Random internet comments and memes, sure. I have serious doubts any business will be ok paying for a tool that outputs nonsense (or worse) 1% of the time when …

    Models like ChatGPT and Stable diffusion will go the way of self-driving tech as everyone realizes they are not good enough to replace any actual human work.
