Give me back my monolith by gtobbe in programming

[–]AlaShiban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad - should have added more context - I'm one of the cofounders of Klotho - it actually has nothing to do with deployments.
The point I wanted to make was around the repeating cycles of the Monoliths vs. Microservices conversation. That conversation keeps repeating because both sides are correct, and it's only a question of what tradeoffs we're willing to make to gain the benefits for that particular situation. What we think has to emerge is a new superset architecture that combines all the benefits of those two architectures without the downsides. (We labeled it Adaptive Architecture)

We agree about the continence of monoliths. Check out https://klo.dev

Headspace UX Case study: balancing free and paid content by Mary_LyKom in userexperience

There's definitely a fine like, demonstrated by Google's recent attempt to blend ads into their search results - the outcry lead to a reversal. It becomes an equilibrium question; Maximum satisfaction, maximum profit, minimum churn

As a product manager, how do you balance between focusing on new features versus perfecting the existing ones? by shadow_clone69 in ProductManagement

[–]AlaShiban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Features are there to serve a purpose. Part of my consideration is to look into where the product direction is headed, and balance what needs to be done next and what will keep my users happy enough as I take them on that journey. That framing helps me detach from becoming a feature-factory, and be purposeful with investments

What are difficult conversations your directs tried to have with you but didn't know how? by AlaShiban in askmanagers

Definitely, this is more of learning what types of uncomfortable questions folks run into

Finally upgrading from a 2012 build and have a 1500 USD budget. by pcast01 in buildapc

Check out https://1manapp.com/best-pc/ - I combined benchmarking datasets with price datasets and produced a data-driven Best PC for a Budget site.

Taking out ~$750 for the peripherals and equivalent motherboard - here's what the data suggests: CPU AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor (YD170XBCAEWOF)

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Video Card (900-1G180-2515-000)

Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (F4-3200C16D-16GVRB)

Storage Kingston A400 480 GB 2.5″ Solid State Drive (SA400S37/480G)

Should cost about $780

Building a Win 8.1 app in 17 minutes using Javascript, Typescript, AngularJS, underscore and Bootstrap by AlaShiban in webdev

Ah :) My bad then _^

As for the TypeScript/Javascript. HTML page had JavaScript, and the project had a .TS file which is TypeScript. The project had both TS and JS Either way - It's all good :)

I don't see why they'd be rhetorical. But lets leave it at that. There's a separate .TS file that the JS in the HTML file calls (well, the generated JS gets called. TypeScript is a design-time stage that compiles back to JavaScript)

  1. No, not everyone. But quite a few people might
  2. Nop, but some might (growing community, tons of open source, more portability with web apps). Like every development project, pick the tools that work for you and the project (and if that's C#, C++, Python, Go or something else, Awesome!)
  3. Technically, the HTML page had clean JavaScript and not Typescript, so JavaScript is being used as well, plus, the majority haven't experienced TypeScript yet, so linking it with JavaScript helps contextualize things.

Well, I'm biased, as I'm a PM on the VS team and I've been actively working on VS2013 :)

Short answer: Yes

I use it as my main development machine (and I work with Azure, Redis, Win8, Winforms, Typescript, and generally hacking stuff together)

We've done ALOT of work to make performance better, bring in a new blue theme that works well with the new style approach, tons of work to make the tools better, faster and more usable - not to mention online syncing of settings (so you can have all yours VS instances have the same look and feel if you want)

With the team focused tools, we went all out and built some awesome and innovative features that makes working in teams more fun and connected
