What are some examples of $HYPED_TECHNOLOGY and $FLASHY_LANGUAGE these days? All I can remember is Ruby on Rails.
- thedevelopnik 6y agoAs someone leading the charge moving a company from Rails on Heroku to Go on Kubernetes with Prometheus/Jaeger/Fluentd/$CNCF I’ll be self aware enough to say “all of the latter.”
- jsmith99 6y agoI think the cool kids are moving to DOS on Dope or Cobol on Cogs.
- meddlepal 6y agoJust sprinkle some magic Kubernetes on your problems and they'll all go away! Oh, and make sure you add a Service Mesh too... just in case.
- speedgoose 6y agoKubernetes makes way more problems than what it solves in my company. We even migrated to another cloud provider, hoping for a better managed kubernetes. We ended up with different bugs and issues and a worse than useless support in a different timezone, in addition to a much more expensive cloud bill.
- throwanem 6y agoThere's no good managed k8s anywhere. You can get bad managed k8s cheaply from Digital Ocean, or expensively from EKS or GKS, whose pricing and service levels are broadly similar. The major difference is that, if you do >$100M ARR and have EKS spend to match, you can expect to have several TAMs available, at least one of whom will usually understand what they're all taking turns apologizing for this time. Google, by contrast, will never give a shit about you no matter who you are, and charges slightly more for this service.
- cbhl 6y ago"Serverless" (which looks an awful lot like cgi-bin and shared hosting all over again)
- ksec 6y agoMostly Rust and yet another JS framework.
- indymike 6y agoBlockchain and Rust. You get five ironic moustaches if it compiles to web assembly.
- jason0597 6y agoAt least web assembly brings us something completely new that we never had before. Rust is just an attempt to improve things, which is fine! But, it needs a decades long proven track record to come close to competing with Java/C++/PHP, which takes time obviously.
- goatlover 6y agoReact, Typescript, GraphQL, Rust and Go more recently. But there’s been plenty since and prior to Rails. I remember all the Java hotness.
- robotnikman 6y agoJava on Javascript is the cool thing these days
- mattmar96 6y agoAre you referring to typescript? If so, that’s hilarious
- purerandomness 6y ago* Anything CSS-in-JS * any new Nxxt.js framework that looks a lot like PHP 4, with HTML, SQL and JavaScript mixed all over the place.
- favorited 6y agoNode.js itself was the new hotness for a while.
- joelbluminator 6y agoElixir, Node, Scala, Go, React, SPAs in general
