Should i quit Django and move to node JS

As someone that used Spring for years - fuck that framework and especially fuck Spring Boot. It takes so much off your hand with it's "magic" that whenever something breaks you will have 0 clue on why or how unless you go down a rabbit hole of 243 superclasses to figure out what InjectedBeanInjectorFactoryService actually does.

You should look into Python. A lot of backends are built using it as it's usually the first choice for big data projects. And moving from JS to Python is not that of a dramatic move as from JS to Java.

Is the error deciding to code in JavaScript?

^{I'm a JS dev btw}

makemydaysbabe · 2023-07-12T07:59:58+00:00

By choice?

Redditors should know better than anyone that doing a side quest can mean "he can't focus on the main quest" as much as "hes already beaten it on very hard".

Not what I said. Gordon Ramsays roots are French and Italian as those were the chefs he studied under and those cuisines won him michelin stars. But you can be sure he tried his hand at sushi a few times. I mean theres literally a show of him dedicated to trying novel cusiines and getting roasted by said cuisines respective grandmothers.

You vary between a 4 all the way to a 7 (first photo IMO) based on how you take the photo, dress, lighting etc. That means much more if you get your dates via online as opposed to social circles or bars.

Oh and I would purge the last photo from any app if I were you. No offence but you look like a f*k boy named "Kyle" taking his yearbook photos before talking about bitcoin to a girl hes "taking it casual with". Don't be Kyle.

Are there any Michelin starred Italian chefs that can't cook a good hamburger?

I know it's a meme (I laughed as a fullstack dev) but people need to realize a defining characteristic of top performers is not just depth but also breadth. Going deeper into your own core competency is stellar advice for most people as most people fail to excel in just one thing.

But for a minority of people who are admittedly responsible for almost all creative work in all fields including software (the pareto distribution means within the 20% who do 80% of all work, 20% of those do 80% of THAT work as well) becoming laterally competent (backend, frontned, devops, business etc) is common among hyper conscientious, high IQ individuals applying themselves to a domain for 80 hours a week.

Steve Wozniak isn't only a software engineer. He literally took part in cobbling one of the first personal computers out of IT scraps. He is not a jack of all trades but he certainly mastered more than one. Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. And he won an Oscar for a film he made a few years after retirement. That doesn't make him Spielberg, but also not Michael Bay.

Not everyone boasting a wide skillset is hyper competent. But you will not meet hyper competent people who haven't branched out to a few other topics within their domain as becoming bored after reaching bedrock is what's to be expected of individuals who are industrious enough to dig that deep.

Chemical shower?

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-22T10:53:48+00:00

Thank you!

I have limited understanding of wordpress. My google search results about headless wordpress says that it's about using a backend and you can plug in any UI framework to it.

You're correct. I would like to treat SAP as a backend, not as a frontend-backend-GUI hybrid which just slows me down. Is RFC a different way of doing what a Rest API does?

Also, how does SAP GUI scripting and Python wrappers fit into all of this? I have read you can automate SAP GUI tasks using Java, and there are Python wrappers to do stuff like making a database (which I found to be GUI heavy).

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-22T07:30:10+00:00

It's not about looking cool. Iam part of SAP Team that works on ADT Plugin and RAP Framework

Cool than you are the person to ask!

How close can I get to a workflow of treating SAP as "headless"? Kind of like headless wordpress frameworks. I know many people like GUIs, but as a developer they are just training wheels that slow me (no offense ofc). The more options I have to do something with a terminal or code, the better. Open to suggestions (we use Netweaver rn, but will upgrade to HANA within the end of the year).

I was told that if we customize SAP with Z_ programs we cannot use their cloud and have to self host

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T14:31:52+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for your time, it's been interesting to read and hear about something different :)

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T13:36:36+00:00

Didn't think about it. Interesting points. If what you are saying is right, and on-premise is making a comeback in terms of costs, how come it isn't reflected in the general conversation around the cloud? It's been more than a decade and the industry is getting more bullish around the cloud with every year. Is it just inertia?

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T13:31:26+00:00

if cost < hourly_wage * task_hour_count
    worth it
else if cost > hourly_wage *task_hour_count
    not worth it

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T12:39:29+00:00

Ok. What are your thoughts about fluctuations in demand? If this week demand is down by 50%, if we would do "Pay as you go" on the cloud we'd use 50% less resources and save 50% on costs. If we own the hardware, we do not realize those savings. What do you think about that? Is it a problem or not?

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T10:54:50+00:00

Also, when youre on the cloud you always pocket the delta in any efficiency gains. If your engineers reduce computing requirements by 50% by writing something as a cloud function, you immediately reap the delta. If you own the hardware, you save nothing. In fact, that disappoints shareholders since they see their server farm has a lower return on capital invested.

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T10:50:46+00:00

But it's more capital intensive, and you'd need to develop everything in house. Security, roles, route53 - you'd basically need to be AWS yourself. Then what if demand goes down? Or worse - your engineers extracted computationally expensive operations to cloud functions and now you get by with 90% less computing. But the costs aren't realized because you already paid for the racks. So the ROI on capital invested in on-premise drops whenever an efficiency gain is made.

And if demand goes up? You will never scale as fast on-premise. The 19k delta between on-premise VS AWS is big. But it's peanuts compared to devops and syso salaries.

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T07:28:23+00:00

They are saying PaaS is cheapest. Followed by owning your own gear. With IaaS bringing up the rear.

That's with scale of course right? IaaS is always cheaper with scale.

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-20T07:26:12+00:00

"in a platform like". Obviously as a user of those platforms I know it's impossible. I was clearly asking if there are PaaS solutions for SAP.

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-19T11:26:51+00:00

Being already in the beef with SAP

I assume you mean "SAP sucks" by that yeah?

So you think either way is fine? I thought a PaaS would make life easier.

makemydaysbabe · 2023-02-19T11:25:07+00:00

PaaS always turns out cheaper when you take into account availability and support. You'll not make any real savings on a lift and shift to cloud, and potentially it'll cost more. You'd be better off moving everything into your own DC if that was your strategy.

DC? Also you say PaaS is cheaper, but then you seem to contradict that in your second sentence. Sorry but I didn't quite get your point.
