I've failed system design interview where they repeatedly asked me to design "for scale" but all the volume and latency requirements I could get from them could be handled by a single HA pair running a monolithic server+ exte

If you don't like fiat there is always gold. If you really care about value, independent from the monetary system (post-apocalyptic safety), buy tools, grain, generators and oil, though many of these things are perishable and storage c

>> There's an interesting point to be made here, though - "wrapping everything up in one type" is essentially what dynamic type systems do, except that it's baked into the language instead of being implemented by the programmer on a

In a dynamic languages you can do dynamic dispatch - i.e. dispatching based on the actual runtime type of the arguments of a function, as opposed on the declared or statically inferred type. That among other things obviates the need for the
