Hey manucorporat! So fun seeing this on the frontpage of HN. I'm bummed our two paths didn't cross in person via a Go conference or something else. Wanted to say how happy I was to see Gin rise in popularity in the community. I th

Yeah I’m very much seeing this right now. I’m a pretty big generalist professionally. I’ve done software engineering in a broad category of fields (Game engines, SaaS, OSS, distributed systems, highly polished UX and consumer products), whi

Yeah I absolutely see it every day. I think it’s useful to separate the research/planning phase from the building/validadation/review phase. Ticket trackers are perfect for this. Just start with asking AI to take this unclear

But planning like this is absolutely something AI can do. In fact, this is exactly the kind of thing we start with on our team when it comes to using AI agents. We have a ticket with just a simple title that somebody threw in there, and we

I think there are multiple conversations happening that are tying to converge on one. On one hand, LLMs are overhyped and not delivering on promises made by their biggest advocates. On the other hand, any other type of technology (not so ov

Just wanted to chime in and say how appreciative I’ve been about all your replies here, and overall content on AI. Your takes are super reasonable and well thought out.

Man! I can’t agree more. It does seem foreign right now, but I truly do believe edge computing will become another “CDN” type abstraction, but it will take time for folks to catch up. Can’t wait for the day that projects like litefs are jus

While there are lots of cloud providers also trying to be edge providers, I would argue that "The Far Edge" is a great opportunity to improve and develop infrastructure that is easier to run on your own hardware. What worked for c

Really good points made here! I previously worked for a company that empowers entrepreneurs and experts to build a business off their knowledge, and have learned a lot over the years of what's effective what's not so helpful. The

Disclaimer: I work on NATS and am employed by Synadia, maintainer of NATS. NATS is much more lightweight than the alternatives, and has a much simpler operation story and can run on low resource hardware very easily. Kafka fits a very speci

I find `if not` to be a far superior version, simply because it reads similarly to it's `if` counterpart, specifically for how conventionally condition methods are written in ruby. `return if not valid?` or `return if invalid?` Both ma

One thing I think a lot of folks don't realize about ADHD is that even with treatment, there is still a whole skillset to pick up regarding organization, self-management related to time etc. Many neurotypical people pick those things u

Yup, not everyones diagnosis is the same, but mine was definitely combined with childhood trauma in a way that made it hard to notice anything was wrong in the first place. Can't begin to describe how much easier life feels now that I&

Being very recently diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s (after searching for a source of my chronic exhaustion), it was interesting to notice just how much I masked my own ADHD from myself and others my whole life, where the experience of taking

Hey HN! I've just published a new episode of Rethink Connectivity, this time all about message persistence and streaming with NATS JetStream. I really love how streaming has been set up in NATS, it makes for some really cool hybrid arc

Curious how your experience with NATS has been?

by codegangsta 4y ago
Author here. NATS is such an amazing (and underrated) technology IMHO I wanted to talk more about it with some screencasts. Would love your feedback and any suggestions for future screencasts on NATS.

I'm loving where the WASM world is going, and really do see something like NATS totally simplify the WASM/serverless use case in so many ways. Thanks for sharing!

I think NATS is an excellent, and very easy to run and deploy. Pretty much has a "just works" attribute I like to assign to boring technology

I think that’s what the OP is getting at though. Writing can be really fun, but we like to play mind tricks on ourselves and inevitably make it harder

I generally agree with this. I think the rust community is one of the first to wholly embrace wasm as a compile target, hence what you are seeing. But Wasm does for sure go beyond rust and has some very interesting implications for for futu

Have you tried nats.io and it’s new streaming tech, Jetstream? Night and day difference in terms of management and ease of use. In my last org I was fighting so hard against folks wanting to adopt Kafka, and then I found out about nats, tot

This better explains how ruthlessly focused UI design needs to be. User Interface design needs to know the person on the other side, what their motives are and what makes them feel like they have superpowers. OpenSSL is a system. A GUI need
