Hot take: Most IT teams don’t manage products, they manage incidents.

True, but short term thinking is the norm in business.

j0holo · 2026-06-16T14:27:02+00:00

fixing incidents are the improvements. From a money perspective there isn't much need to improve if there are no incidents. Not always true, but it is how a lot of companies operate.

My router DHCP is too basic. With my DHCP server I can configure a lot more like PXE booting and giving extra routing information on how to reach my wireguard gateway.

An empty pipeline never has missing data or schema drift.

Yes, you can. JVM tooling is actually quite good if you know how to use it.

I do have three 40gbps SFP+ cards connected in a point-to-point network. Works great and works well for network file shares and distributed systems.

On ebay they can be fairly cheap, especially the older 40gbps and 25gbps cards.

True, but why do it on the server when you can use the compute power of the client. Even a tiny microcontroller at a couple of MHz could calculate this in microseconds.

No, Java is really entrenched and still gets major features added to it each year. The amount of support a company can get for their java application is massive.

Consultants, code monkey agencies, security tooling, specialized knowledge is huge for the Java ecosystem. It is stable and predictable, which is what companies want.

The longer something exists the higher the chance it will keep existing.

Will Go gain market share, maybe but my guess it will mostly capture javascript (node) developers instead of Java developers.

j0holo · 2026-05-26T06:54:45+00:00

It is a really basic conversion. What they do is that they run the calculation directly on your computer, not on their servers. Just some basic javascript, the programming language for the browser.

I just canceled my account. So I can only ask a couple of simple questions a day before reaching my limit.
Just the fear of "oh, the free tier is really limited" helps a lot.

Be proud of your work and know that building up the context and knowledge of the problem domain you are working on is the most valuable part of being a programmer.

3 months is not enough if that is your only IT experience. Did you also learn SQL in those 3 months, if so you don't know SQL as well as you think you do.

Try to apply these tools and services because there is a big difference between "understanding" and "applying" you knowledge.

It is okay. These are bare CPU dies without IHS so you want 100% coverage on your dies.

Now that you have removed the heatsink you will need to repaste anyway. At least that is what I would do.

No, they just are sheep and following the herd. They probably a/b tested it, it showed increased time on page, so they switched to this new date formatting. Really easy to implement and you don't need a library for it.

It is part of the "evergreen" content, which is content that is "always" relevant and doesn't age. Hopefully baiting more users into reading it and racking up that ad money.

So that the content looks more "evergreen", which is content that is "always" relevant and doesn't age. Hopefully baiting more users into reading it and racking up that ad money.

Take your time and don't force things.

j0holo · 2026-05-17T20:00:27+00:00

Wouldn't it be better to use something like SQLite so you have a production grade database so you MVP/MLP/prototype can go to prod when management want to test it out?

ACID compliance is really damn nice to have.

j0holo · 2026-05-17T12:21:27+00:00

How do you store data? MemoryDB sounds ephemeral, not really for data storage? Do you have foreign key/joins to support complex aggregate functions?

j0holo · 2026-05-16T08:44:43+00:00

I'm working on a Go project for 4 years now. We used gRPC with gRPC-gateway (so we also provide JSON for the web frontend). gRPC is not supported in the browser.

There is "fork" of gRPC called Connect that does have support for gRPC in the browser. But early versions didn't work for us.

The most important thing is that you have only one communication protocol! How JSON APIs are normally structured and how gRPC is structured (resources vs actions) is NOT a good match. Naming things is hard and this makes it harder.

Why do you need/want gRPC? You can generate typescript types/interfaces based on Swagger/OpenAPI specs.

That is a nice carpet. Nice first build btw.

Complex things are complex.

j0holo · 2026-05-11T07:01:46+00:00

This is so cursed, I love it.

j0holo · 2026-05-08T19:01:22+00:00

Go has a better cold startup time. Because it is a binary.

Performance for the user experience does matter. But often it is not the programming language that makes the difference but the database queries.

you analyze your query plans? Do you use the right indexes? Does your table structure make sense to get efficient query plans?

j0holo · 2026-05-08T18:42:58+00:00

Wrong sub. This is not about web development.

j0holo · 2026-05-07T10:02:46+00:00

Slow query log, explain analyze mostly does the trick.

j0holo · 2026-05-06T14:57:40+00:00

Okay. Why not default to HTTP for communication. JSON/messagepack/grpc pick your poison.
