I have tried various approaches and here's what worked best, assuming that there is some natural way to partition most of the data (e.g. per account): 1. Init the DB with some "default" data - configuration, lookup tables, et

It's not just the type of work but also experience. Here are two cases: 1. After working for many years in Java I needed to build a service. I spent few days designing it and then a month on implementation. I used DBs and libraries I k

Oh, nice, thanks. I haven't been using github recently, it looks like this option was added ~1.5y ago.

In my opinion PR/changeset description is exactly what should be in the commit description. In cases were we had 1 commit per PR (i.e. squashing before merging) just copying the PR description into merge commit worked really well - the

Time from enqueue to start isn't a good metric - it completely disregards the queue size. Enqueuing 1M jobs won't change this metric as it only updates once the job reaches the front of the queue, and when the 1Mth job does that t

I don't think her conclusion is correct in this case (that it's all about chronological order). It's not about what happens first but about levels of abstraction. It doesn't make sense to say that we want to decide on th

This is completely another level of "issues" than other problems in this thread. During code review I'd only mention it as a nit. The longer form is correct and the only downside is that's a bit longer. It doesn't m

Jira has a search bar which seems ok-ish. Except that I have to wait 10s after I open Jira for the search bar to start working because it's probably the last thing to become interactive after a page load :|
