I never got this. I only ever want stuff I can limp along standalone with until we find something to replace it with. I got seriously burned by a small SaaS help desk app about 15 years ago. Turns out they had three customers, no investors

Oh yes nailed it. That's one problem with a fixed on call rate that some organisations offer. It's a hefty chunk of cash and sounds generous to the engineers. But the cost is already known and sunk up front and not proportional to

Perhaps he's jealous as half of Hashicorp's portfolio only create more problems than you had originally...

Similar. I enjoy the effort someone else has put in to work all the bugs out.

That’s like going to Japan to eat sushi. I’d rather make it at home :)

Ah sounds like my father. He’s currently going through Musk is Jesus’ second coming and covid is a hoax phase.

Agree with this. I’d rather actually we used postfix notation as that not ambiguous at all. I would like a modern “dc” written in Go if I’m honest. With engineering units, BCD decimal arithmetic, blackjack and hookers. Actually if there was

Honestly looking back at my situation which paralleled yours, life’s not worth suffering through. Took 7 years to sort it out here which was a big chunk of my life. If you’re not happy, get out of the situation that makes you unhappy as soo

My ex wife is an ex wife because she zoned out into Facebook constantly and stopped doing anything with the family. Then she went bananas and ran away with someone who ironically she split up with because he was always on Facebook. It can

If it's public facing I would suggest that you keep it in context and PR friendly and say something like: "I am declining this as it is not fitting with the direction of the project and other users' requirements. You are fre

Fresh out of university as an EE in my first job I was surprised to find that the rule was "if it conforms to the tests then it works" . Sometimes the tests were poorly designed or were narrow enough only to test the happy paths.

If his popularity is due to what he posts on twitter it would appear that a large proportion of the human race are deranged morons.

No questions just appreciation. Your blog and Marc’s channel are about the most interesting things I’ve read and watched for years (as an ex EE). Pure quality content. Thank you.

Correct. That’s not exclusive to my points.

Mmmmm yes we have 5MB of web assembly garbage instead of 50k of flash. All when 5k of HTML and CSS would do … Very little genuine value added in the process.

The product would be shit if apple did it too. I have a professional issue with Asus support having dealt with them from a large corp. I can isolate the two factors but understand the risks are combined. That’s just logic.

Some of the auto updated apps have a history of adding circumventable embedded browsers in about boxes and things on Android which can be used to browse the internet. This happens on iOS too but the browser engine is safari and is subject t

I have WhatsApp as well. None of our kids have Android devices as you can't control them adequately.
