So I have to upload files to enable syntax highlighting. There is probably a reason but the users frustration is helping them to look for alternatives.

Do you enjoy the other parts of MS ecosystem?

Actually, right this moment I am writing docs for my mini-yaml to generate JSON Schema Draft 4 for our EDA. Easy-peasy

I think main problem people trying to solve is treating JSON as computer-human interface. It was not designed for it and I don’t think we need to expand its use-case. You can perfectly use subset of YAML with much better readability for hum

Dependencies is a sign of weakness.

Packages is another story though. Pyenv is for Python versions. For me it’s either that or using Docker images. The later performed poorly with PyCharm when I tested a few years ago. I have seen an issue with Pyenv only once and not even on

Pyenv is for Python versions. There is a plugin for virtualenvs that can be useful for some specific cases but I rarely use it nowadays.

Dependencies are for the weak. You only need Python. Just support a range of versions if you intend to distribute.

It’s totally up to your knowledge and experience to produce code that supports multiple versions. I had no issue with doing it. That’s what you pay for dynamic language that evolves rapidly.

Also, when working on packages supporting multiple versions it was very helpful to use tox with pyenv.

Works fine for me on macOS. I am using venv the same way you do except some global ones for certain tools.

You remember any example? I don't call API directly and usually use CLI/SDK/CDK that work a lot better than gcloud. I did see some inconsistencies between services (e.g. updating params for SQS and SNS) and that could definit

> few things are cli only wdym? As far as I see, it's either CLI or Terraform. GCP SDK is complete garbage, at least for Python compared to AWS boto3. I have personally made web UI for AWS CLI man pages as a fun project and can inde

Have you named any successful product?
17.
by andreif 3y ago
How many popular products have you named and launched? Naming products is hard to meet both usability and marketing objectives. This has never been as big of a problem for me, as GCPs APIs for example. Those are the true evil. Product names

Why it's weird to blame them for product names? Because their purpose slightly different. I can see where negativity comes from and understand, but product name is a lot less important as consistent API experience. AWS is the best amon

I am yet to meet an IRL person who believes Azure has "sane management interface". In my experience it was horribly inconvenient, filled with weird anti-UX solutions that were completely unnecessary. It maybe shows you all at once

I thought you meant API and parameters. Blaming them for product names is weird to me.

Pub/sub is more like SNS or EventBridge Bus to me

To be fair there are lots of GCP docs, but I cannot say they are as good as AWS. Everything is CLI-based, some things are broken or hello-world-useless. Takes time to go through multiple duplicate articles to find anything decent. I have ne

Azure is a complete disaster, deserves its own garbage-category, and gives people PTSD. I don't think AWS/CGP should ever be compared to it at all.
24.
by andreif 3y ago
That's completely opposite to my experience. Do you have any examples of AWS naming that you think is "teenage boy trying to be cool"? I am genuinely curious.

GCP's SDK and documentation is a mess compared to AWS. And looking at the source code I don't see how it can get better any time soon. AWS seems to have proper design in mind and uses less abstractions giving you freedom to build

Maybe not your workflow but I am so happy that we stopped using Jamboard and switched to Miro. It’s a universe filled with joy and happiness and freedom. Now I am looking for a free Miro alternative with at least two users and nothing is ev

I would agree about Reader, but Jamboard is not something I will miss. There are a lot better alternatives.

Well, it's 1.0.0b1 which is still good news considering how long it was in alphas.
