There are plenty of modern, distributed RDBMSes that make sharding transparent to the user (E.g. cockroachDB, yugabyte, vitess, many cloud offerings, etc.). Most NoSQL databases end up adding transactions because they are important, and thu

Git is what happens when a technology is born out of hardcore engineering. Most of the world could greatly benefit from its functionality but it’s too hard for non software-engineers to learn. I hope the next era of version control thinks a

I’ve always been curious, if you’re working on a really complex system with lots of disparate services (or even if you are using a managed database like Spanner for example), what does your development environment look like? Do you spin up

This is one of those posts where you can really feel the value of senior engineering/previous experience. I definitely have not approached choosing a new technology with the velocity vs. maintenance trade off, instead just choosing the

fwiw async/await also solves issues with chained promises in the .then portion. I’ve found this to be really helpful and a lot cleaner at times

I’m not arguing you should. But there are undoubtedly some people who would. And a hybrid work environment is detrimental to those who want that in-person experience. There should be opportunities for remote-only/remote-first cultures

Fair enough. My main work experience is at a smaller startup that has a heavy focus on collaboration so my opinion is biased towards that. In my experience trivial things can be solved with a slack message/call but I greatly prefer in-

People often argue that remote working flexibility is the future, but I think it will be detrimental to both younger employees (losing out on mentorship) and those that do go into an office. An office is at its most effective when everyone

For the past few months I’ve been taking markdown notes which are then transformed into HTML and pushed to an s3 bucket for public viewing. Probably not the best solution within this thread but it costs approximately nothing is a great way

Zoom actually is profitable and was one of the rare technology companies to be profitable at IPO. Although they do offer a lot of free services they nailed the freemium line - 40 minute free calls - since the most effective business meeting

While I do use i3 for more than L/R splits with stacking etc. the largest benefit I get from it is workspace management. I use i3 with polybar and have dedicated workspace icons (web browser, terminal, editor, to-do, email, music, etc)

Other comments have good solutions but if you are accessing via mobile try out Octal. Dark theme by default, great UI/UX, complete with search, etc. I’ve been very happy with it and have tried out multiple third party clients and this
