Yeah that’s mostly what I’m referring to.

Backups are pretty easy, but service availability and failovers across cloud providers is stupid difficult. Not really from a compute standpoint but mostly from a data consistency/transactional standpoint.

However, if you are using vendor specific services like AWS connect then you have to build and maintain multiple deep integrations into those services which effectively doubles your engineering efforts.

Good news, they have these, and you even get paid to do it!

Not nearly enough mind you.

Cool 👍

Multi-cloud is a significant amount of effort to pull off.

Being on one cloud provider across multiple regions is often plenty of redundancy.

Being available across multiple cloud providers is really REALLY difficult

Honestly surprised C# isn’t on here? It’s still one of the “big 5” languages, and .Net touts it’s incredible performance on the regular.

The number of new devs who complain about having to write a unit test is too damn high

• Or writing integration tests
• Or passing CI
• Or following repo conventions
• Or following standards
• Or adhering to domain guardrails
• Or in adding monitoring
• Or in not logging everything as info
• Or in actually documenting features
• Or in receiving critical PR review
• Or in addition input validation
• Or in not trusting the client

…etc

Honestly most devs… Kinda suck at their job. This is becoming more evident to me every year

I work remote (Going on 9 years now) and I miss a sense of community. Do I want to stop working remotely? Hell no, screw that. But two things can be true the same time, I can enjoy and encourage them at work, dnd I can also miss a sense of community.

I think it’s okay to hold this opinion because it’s individual to everyone.

This just comes across as propaganda

Being dismissive and pulling the rhetoric that this is propaganda is toxic as fuck.

Hospital near me has password requirements for their electronic medical records system as:

• 6 characters, no more, no less
• 2 characters must be a number
• 4 characters must be a letter
• case insensitive
• never changed

And for new hires and what not, they tell them to use {hospital abbreviation}{2 digit year}. Like casu24

No freaking wonder

Why would it be on each dev to setup?

Your repo can, and should, include workspace settings for major editors that provide a uniform experience for anyone onboarded to the platform.

I agree that precommit hooks are good for uniformity. But slow pre commit hooks are frustrating, they are also often turned off. Your CI will always be the last gatekeeper for linting/formatting rules regardless.

Making precommit hooks slower means more devs disable them, which is the opposite of what you want. Save them for simple, read, checks and validations that can run in < 1s for even huge changesets.

Or on save even. Slow pre commit hooks suckkkk

That’s not a linting problem that’s a formatting problem.

That project should have automatic formatting on save setup.

Linters are not necessarily formatters they’re solving two different problems and are becoming increasingly separated in their toolset.

Too bad commenters are as bad as reading articles as LLMs are at handling complex scenarios. And are equally as confident with their comments.

This is a pretty level headed, calculated, approach DARPA is taking (as expected from DARPA).

Doesn’t appear to show any charts on Chrome for mobile…

Seems to be a responsiveness issue, because it goes away in landscape mode, and the charts show.

They work great when you have many teams working alongside each other within the same product.

It helps immensely with having consistent quality, structure, shared code, review practices, CI/CD…etc

The downside is that you essentially need an entire platform engineering team just to set up and maintain the monorepo, tooling, custom scripts, custom workflows…etc that support all the additional needs a monorepo and it’s users have. Something that would never be a problem on a single repository like the list of pull requests maybe something that needs custom processes and workflows for in a monorepo due to the volume of changes.

(Ofc small mono repos don’t require you to have a full team doing maintenance and platform engineering. But often you’ll still find yourself dedicating an entire FTE worth of time towards it)

It’s similar to microservices in that monorepo is a solution to scaling an organizational problem, not a solution to scaling a technology problem. It will create new problems that you have to solve that you would not have had to solve before. And that solution requires additional work to be effective and ergonomic. If those ergonomic and consistency issues aren’t being solved then it will just devolve over time into a mess.

Yeah, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

RTF has many more features than markdown can reasonably support, even with your personal, custom, syntaxes that no one else knows :/

I use markdown for everything, as much as possible, but in the context of creating a RTF WYSIWYG editor with non-trivial layout & styling needs it’s a no go.

I mean… Every serious operating system already has some form of keyring feature right?

Not necessarily. There are many paths to exfiltrated data that don’t require privileged access, and can be exploited through vulnerabilities in other applications.

Yeah, and electron already has a secureStorage API that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn’t using, and a PR already exists to enable…

Never not UTC Everywhere.

Probably not. Having actually played with making a WYSIWYG editor as a learning project markdown is too simplistic for the formatting needs of any non-trivial text editing, as a serialized storage format.

You almost always end up back with your own data structure that you serialize into something like XML for storage. Or you end up supporting HTML or non-spec compliant syntax in your markdown.

And if you care about performance, you’re not actually working with XML, HTML, or Markdown in memory. You’re working with a data structure that you have to serialize/deserialize from your storage format. This is where markdown becomes a bit more tedious since it’s not as easy to work with in this manner, and you end up with a weird parsing layer in-between the markdown and your runtime data structures.

The commenter that’s downvoted is more correct than not IMHO (Also why are we downloading discussions??). Markdown is ill suited for “most WYSIWYG needs”. It tends to get augmented with XML or custom non-spec compliant syntax. The spec poorly supports layout (columns, image & media positioning, sizing…etc) and styling (font color, size, family, backgrounds…etc)
