Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

Same. I was so (oddly) proud of my streak. Then my spouse brought it home from a meeting with friends : P

“American cheese”. I searched for an image and conveniently Wikipedia shows one with the clarification that it’s an “American cheese single”.

But, imagine ten or twenty of those individually wrapped slices wrapped together in another bit of plastic.

You can hit an image search for “American cheese singles” and find a lot more examples.

The relationship with the instructor is something I wanted to touch on but thought I’d maybe rambled too much already.

If it’s a good program, they WANT you to succeed and they want to give you every possible advantage. You can show up to class, do the bare minimum, and maybe pass. But going the extra bit and asking good, useful, questions will get you much further.

I’ve never met an instructor who cares that isn’t up for side discussions, private tutoring, and literally anything that helps the student squeeze as much info as possible before, during, and after the class. I have zero respect for anyone who teaches a class and refuses to do anything outside of the prescribed class hours… Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Edit: also if the instructor is working in the industry then they have a network that you can tap into… which is often more important

Be careful about “boot camps”, and I say this as someone who teaches at one on the side (coding, not security). A lot of them are kind of like degree mills - pay money, get stamp, maybe worthwhile or maybe worthless.

If you go that route, do a lot of research. The biggest thing I’d look for is that the instructors work in the field full time and teach on the side (because they love sharing info and teaching the next generation). Hire rates for grads is also a good indicator… But take close note of where those hires are at and ask if it’s not published.

Any time I’ve come across these kind of programs where the boot camp instructors only job is teaching, the info is usually 10+ years dated and relatively useless past the absolute basics.

I had to check and make sure I didn’t type the comment above because it sounds exactly like me.

All UIs do things slightly differently, the CLI is always exactly the same… Everywhere. UI for non trivial conflict resolution? Definitely. For everything else, CLI.

And, I’m also reticent to use rebase unless I have to. Gimme that good ole FF :)

Isn’t this same thing going on in Paris?

What if we run out of north?

I once had a task stripping a ODM out of a large project, reverting to the native driver, because of its (extremely) poor performance. Also the fun of profiling the project to prove the ODM was to blame. I also empathize with the “supposed to make things simpler, makes them more complicated instead” point you make.

From many experiences, I hate ORM/ODMs and am immediately suspicious of anyone who likes them.

Yes! I forgot about those but they’re also on the (auto block) list.

Same here.

So. Much. Hentai. Don’t forget the furries too - almost as many furry communities as hentai.

This is a great answer. Bumping it as someone who got forced to move into Node/JS around 8 years ago and came to love it (after the ES2015 changes :). It’s primarily what I work in and I teach community classes on it these days.

I’ve been dabbling in Go lately for lower level server side stuff and, while I don’t dislike it, it’s a big shift in thinking. There are a lot of niceties to the Go ecosystem.
