looks like they're crypto guys so there's that

It feels like our social constructs are not designed to deal with modern technology. Consider how real world communities are organized. In most of the world we have residential dis…

Any time something is adopted as broadly as JavaScript it's going to be a mess. Even outside the world of computing. Take... city planning. Cities are a mess. In fact human civiliz…

> Also, since you’re probably deploying containers to production, it’s useful to have a similar environment for local development so that you know what will actually happen in prod…

I mean it's a pretty simple concept. Your frontend team needs an API call that retrieves only friend requests with user names/avatars because the current API call is too heavy. Nor…

> You can turn off recommendations Not really. When you turn off recommendations, the app icons are hidden but the space for recommendations stays there! Yes, just a big ol' block …

Wow Snowflake absolutely crushes these benchmarks. Anyone know why? I don't know much about this space.

Wouldn't you lose more just by sitting on cash? Even now?

Right, I was just pointing out the flaw in the parent commenter's statement. You can't do "code version is tied to your database version" - that's just not a thing.

You can't restart all of your web services atomically. What happens if two web services are running two different versions for a couple seconds?

> More practically > event sourced architecture You must be joking. Please tell me you're joking.

I use VIM and didn't even know ACME editor existed. Keep building strawmen, I'll be building software.

Which didn't answer my question at all. Adding more structure to the AST with @param/@return/whatever doesn't make for better documentation. It's useless crap in a real world scena…

I have. My editor also gives me documentation for every function that I need. Plain text is more than enough for that use. What kind of function documentation are you reading inlin…

So here's an example of the string package: https://pkg.go.dev/strings In what way would the JavaDoc @param/@return/etc annotations actually help? What Godoc has is more than suita…

This is why I said it's hard to succinctly explain. Non-programmers and bad programmers can't tell the difference between Go and Python (for example) in this context. The actual di…

Single Point of Failure. LOL.

You may be right, but... and maybe I'm being naive here... if HN can do it, why can't local social networks? The amount of people in the network is even smaller than HN. I suppose …

> The best way would be exporting docs from your codebase, and have all documentation related artifacts expressed alongside the code I LOVE Golang's approach to this [1]: - Documen…

We have one too but it's overrun by jerks. Lots of bickering and ganging up on people.

Sure. We could also not use a container registry. Or resource management. Or liveness/readiness probes. For the database we could use RDS and take the latency/$$$ overhead. For fil…

This is a tough one. I wouldn't worry that much about employability. If you're honest, hardworking, and love writing software then I don't see any issues there. I'm sure you've sol…

I'd rather not say but it wasn't anything mind blowing. It was a B2B thing with a great UI in the early 2010s. You'd never have even heard of us. All of this predated the popularit…

Yea. We had a monorepo. The whole thing was one big webapp. Even our background workers ran in the web app. Oh yea, that's right. I can feel the cringing just writing that! So like…

If you're truly interested in being enlightened then do the work. It's not up to internet strangers to refute your painfully uninformed assertions in detail. That's what education …
