Nope. CEO's tend to be on the board of each others companies, making sure that there is never any argument over CEO compensation.

> The stock price is essentially the fair market value of the company That is something some people choose to believe to be true. The same way some people choose to believe that God (or a number of Gods) exist.

Agree. I haven't seen any examples of ChatGPT that might make me want to use it for my job. Yes if you are an inexperienced programmer (or just not very competent) then it might help you get something working I guess?

Jonathan Blow is full of it. Seriously. The amount of time he spends self promoting and telling everybody how to do things is jaw dropping. He is a good puzzle game designer. That doesn't mean that he is good at anything else.

You have to be really arrogant to assume that you know within 5 minutes of looking at somebody else's code that you know how to do it "better". I am sure you know how to do it differently , and more like how you prefer t

Study history. More specifically the management techniques used by the Royal Navy when it was at its peak.

Who cares what Malcolm Gladwell thinks? @dang is this really worthy of HN? There is nothing new here. Just the same old WFH discussion that we have had so many times on HN.

You can reverse type 2 diabetes. Doctors in Australia, the UK and the US have done that for decades by recommending low carb diets.

I suspect so. There is more and more anecdotal evidence that Alzheimer's and other similar diseases are cause by insulin resistance in the brain. However there is unfortunately no gold standard double blind research out there to conf

9 in 10 businesses fail within the first year. And another 9 in 10 fail the following years. The odds aren't great. Also now your customers are your boss. You don't necessarily have more freedom.

Apparently quite a few nutritional research papers claiming that whatever "food" products you are selling is "safe".

I build my software all the time using a normal boring build system. What's the problem here?

Nothing magically makes microservices good or bad. Nothing magically makes monoliths good or bad. It all depends on how good the developers are. However it is objectively a fact that microservides are inherently more complex than monoliths.

Microservices can most definitely be tightly coupled. The same way that most OOP code I have seen is a spiderweb of tight dependencies. I bet that code you think is loosely coupled probably isn't. Most developers have no clue what &q

Everything you claim is unproven and pure speculation. However what is proven to be true is that thousands of developers all over the world can effectively work on massive monoliths (like Linux and Windows) without using microservices.

What problems are solved better with microservices? Serious question.
18.
by jnash 4y ago
Nope. 95% of SaaS products out there use monoliths not microservices. For good reasons.
19.
by jnash 4y ago
Thousands of developers use libraries and not microservices to implement Linux and Windows. If they can do it so can you. So no that is not correct.
20.
by jnash 4y ago
Nope. Each team is responsible for a library. The monolith is composed by combining those libraries into a single application. It gives you all the benefits without the disadvantages (no encode/decode/network latency, easy rollbac

Jane Street using monoliths to manage $bn of trades a day and millions of transactions per second. So nothing you say makes microservices necessary.

Libraries can do the exact same thing. And it is a less complex solution.

by jnash 4y ago
Nothing you say can't be accomplished by using libraries instead. The largest software on earth (Linux/Windows/...) is created by composing thousands of libraries into a single system. With thousands of developers contributin

You mean a Client Server system? That is not microservices.

by jnash 4y ago
There is this much simpler advanced technology that can be used instead that has been around for 50+ years: it's called libraries/modules. It works. Linux is a collection of thousands of libraries. Windows is a collection of tho

I have 15+ years of management experience and I have never ever had a problem managing developers at all skill level. You can't solve management issues with technology. You solve it with people skills. I sincerely hope you are not an

I think that using the word "stupid" instead of "wild" would be more accurate.

Yep because it is true. Microservices is just the latest "Silver Bullet" that inexperienced developers think will save themselves from doing bad work. The reality is that microservices is inherently more complex than monoliths. So

Companies like Jane Street use Monoliths to handle millions of transactions per second. How many transactions per second do you have?

That sounds like a "True Scotsman" argument. The fact is that microservices are inherently and objectively more complex than Monoliths. So if you can't build a well engineered Monolith then you are pretty much guaranteed to b
