I never liked databases as an idea. You literally send a string query over TCP to postgres and it returns you data over tcp as strings. There is so much potential to make this whole thing better …. but everyone seems to be just fine with it.

Who remembers running away from the referee on FIFA International Soccer?

"Go serverless" they said. "No infrastructure to manage" they said. Now you have: - 94 Lambda functions - Cold start issues you can't fix - Timeouts you can't control - Debugging that's a nightmare - CloudWatch logs that cost $800/month - Vendor lock-in so deep you can't leave And your bill? Higher than running everything on EC2. Serverless doesn't mean no servers. It means no control over servers you're paying premium prices for.

I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role. They asked me about my experience with Kafka. I told them how in “Metamorphosis” someone can lose their worth in others’ eyes the moment they stop being useful. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity. I told them how in “The Trial” he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary, unaccountable, and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains can’t handle overwhelming inconsistency. I told them how in “The Castle”, we learn that seeking an approval from an unreachable authority is a trap. If you spend your life chasing validation from humans who don’t care, you’ll end up feeling stuck. The pursuit consumes more than the reward it gives. I didn’t get the job. The market is tough.

And that's how I met your mother

When designing software, should we be reactive, or proactive? Should we adopt YAGNI or Hammock Driven Development as our overarching rule? Should we be 100% “Agile” or 100% waterfall. Answer: It’s _always_ a mix of moderate amounts of both. The best way to drive a project off the rails is ideologically demand adherence to one side or the other. Wise teams will spend _some_ time “in the hammock” thinking things through; but not so much that they miss the opportunities to react to the dynamic environment that dominates virtually all software projects. If you don’t plan, you die. If you don’t react, you die.

Oikeiden ihmisten kanssa kipeistä asioista voi tulla hauskoja. Väärien ihmisten kanssa hauskoista asioista voi tulla kipeitä. Musta huumori yhdistää. Huumoriin verhottu ilkeys erottaa. Sitä parempaa seuraa sun päivääsi😘

Respect to the engineers of the past, who built the world without using AI.

Honestly, it's pretty crazy that Windows 2000 looks better than 99% of modern UIs

I create server side rendering that has all servers working together equally... I call it universal server side rendering or USSR

the internet was made for videos like this

OMG 🤣🤣

Muhammad Ali on todennut, että ihminen, joka katsoo maailmaa 50-vuotiaana samoin kuin 20-vuotiaana, on hukannut 30 vuotta elämästään. Elämä on kasvumatka. Tietää kasvaneensa, kun voi lempeesti huvittua, ehkä jopa nolostua🤭, nuoremmasta versiostaan. Etiäppäin tänäänkin😘

Imagine waking up here!

SHE DID IT AGAIN! Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg. At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male.
