In my 20 years of engineering, all my distributed systems knowledge was learnt in a period of two years under two amazing engineers working in two failed startups One was like those legendary OG dogmatic distributed systems software enginee

Why is this sloppy. The author is not saying that AI is bad but that the current capital being invested in the UD is mostly betting on AI. If you remove AI then what is left?

you're _Google_, your own work is always at risk of getting co-opted by others, and external people will view and criticize your work accordingly. This rang so true to me and it probably applies for all large tech companies.

Product support is an integral part of enterprise software engineering. Product management does not know what adding a new feature or deprecating an old feature means. It is the responsibility of engineering to provide the dependency matri

Google is not a good example to look at if you are thinking about enterprise software as these need to be supported long term and Google is not very good at that. They have a history of making breaking changes and discontinuing products. Mi

Maybe PE firms are ok and mine was an extreme example but I got burned pretty badly. If I do have to work on a place backed by a PE firm for some reason, I would start out as a contractor and then see how it plays out before committing to

That is funny as the exact thing happened in my startup as well (we were one of the roll-ees) We got some suits sent by the PE after the funding round.They politely said that they had other plans when we invited them for lunch.

I have firsthand experience of how PE ruins startups. We were a small startup and unfortunately our founder decided to go with a PE firm rather than a VC firm for a round of funding. The latter were upfront about job cuts but the PE firm di

How is this different from a standard enterprise service bus style architecture using ActiveMQ or Kafka ?

By definition, microservices are independent of stack. Every service in theory can have its own stack. My recommendation would be to stick with microservices but start migrating each service to modern stack. With regards to the stack, you

Another unrelated thing that I discovered while buying my Audi in California is that I have to have to purchase the services from the same dealer as well.

There is quality, quantity and then there is common sense. I have seen an entire new dependency system invented because the author did not like open source ones. It worked great for 10 years and then they left. I also have seen a scenario

I used to think I was a 10x developer but then in grad school I spent an hour with a university post doc optimizing an embedded OS to decrease its power consumption. It took 1 month for me to understand what he did in that hour. And then I

I actually love it and the more complex the system the better. I have been doing it for more than 10 years now and everyday I learn something new from the legacy and the replacement that we work on
