C++ is… I got nothing.
Looking for an alternative to reddit
C++ is… I got nothing.
Sure, if we didn’t have the need to procreate or the need for a life companion, the computer would be the perfect partner.
But since we are not machines quite yet…
I saw that there was a new learning site for Rust that got a lot of attention on hacker news:
I plan to give it a shot in a few weeks. It’s similar to rustlings.
But I haven’t worked on anything this week so slightly off topic. Just wanted to share.
I agree with you, and that is a hellish environment to work in.
There must be a better middle ground for all of this.
Yeah I’ve seen it before. It’s a very good reminder for everyone to keep in mind isn’t it. :)
Yeah it’s insane. But of course if scaling different parts of the application, I guess micro services are the way to do it. But otherwise one could scale the entire app by just putting more of the entire app on servers. No need for micro services. It just needs to be written to be able to listen to message queues and you can have any number of app instances.
It’s absolutely slower. There is no way to make a network request faster than a function call. It’s slower by probably thousands of times.
Thank you, good explanation. I can see why people get confused since the outcome depends on the subscription length then.
Because they give them nice titles, and young devs want the status of the title. :)
I tried being a manager but I hated everything about it. The dishonesty, the politics, the useless meetings.
I’m back in a development role now and I’m super happy and excited to start the day. Almost no meetings!
This is me right now, constantly thinking about how to implement a thing I’m working on. Even in bed I wake up and think about it. Lols.
I thought they let you use the version you used when you started subscribing, not then you ended the subscription? This was something a lot of people were upset about. That if you subscribe for a year and stop, you end up with a year old version.
Yeah I agree. With experience you know where to use it and where it really shines, and when not to use it because it will just make everything harder to reason about.
But a lot of devs are not that experienced when they make these decisions. All of us learn from mistakes, and those mistakes stay in the code base. :)
Yes but in practice, companies don’t want to replace their entire tech stacks, and specially if it’s a large company. It costs an enormous amount of money (because of the time and effort it takes) and means the entire company has to relearn how to work with that stack instead.
It’s not impossible and it can happen, but in my experience from working at probably 20 companies now, there is almost always a strong resistence to change.
People don’t even change their default search engine or browser most of the time.
I don’t think people have a choice. If you join a company where they use kubernetes, you have to use that technology for everything. You can’t escape the complexity even if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.
Problem is that companies are using them for all scenarios. It’s often their entire tech stack now, with kubernetes.
It’s similar to the object oriented hype that came before it, where developers had to write all their programs in a way so they could be extended and prepared for any future changes.
Everything became complex and difficult to work with. And almost none of those programs were ever extended in any significant way where object oriented design made it easier. On the contrary, it made it far more difficult to understand the program since you had to know which method was called in which object due to polymorphism when you looked at the code. You had to jump around like crazy to see what code was actually running.
Now with kubernetes, it’s all about making the programs easier to scale and easier to develop for the developers, but it shifts the complexity to the infrastructure needed to support the networking requirements.
All these programs now need to talk over the network instead of simply communicating in the same process. And with that you have to think about failure scenarios, out of order communication, missing messages, separate databases and data storage for different services etc.
I worked in places like this and I’m not going back unless consulting prices go back up again… The pain is real.
Even worse when you have a bug and you cant stop trying to find it and fix it. I often have the feeling that if I stop now, I lose the entire context of what I’m doing and it’s just so hard to get started again the next day.
I prefer to dig in until I find it, even when tired and hungry.
Very happy im alive before AI turns all life into algorithms for profits.
Enterprise was my favorite star trek. I can’t even watch discovery, it’s horrible.
