  1. Rock revival on the way? Please, let it be true. 🤞

  2. Poland is the new center of Europe! Can’t wait to visit and see my ancestral homeland. I’ve heard so many great things.

  3. It’ll be incredibly demoralizing for Russia to lose this region, especially so quickly, after throwing away tens-of-thousands of lives and many months, on what little progress was made. Maybe this will break them, alone!

  5. For me, as a developer, my first consideration is market adoption. It's a big time-investment to learn a new platform, especially if it comes with a new language. I don't want to master a skill I can't leverage professionally, since there is SO much to learn and so little time in life. The exception being some pet project you're super into...but work keeps me from those things most of the time, personally. I see a lot of demand out there for React and React Native but I never hear about Flutter/Dart. I've also seen some complaints around the webs about Flutter devs struggling to find work in the current market. Just thoughts.

  6. Kafka is one of my favorite pieces of technology. I’ve successfully used it in several projects as a streaming queue and event bus, in a microservices setting, and it’s a joy to work with. Since it tracks what has been consumed with an offset, it greatly simplifies distributed, high-volume writes, and gives you great confidence in data consistency (eventually) ;) Highly recommend!

  7. 25 years here, and still in the trenches. I agree. Teams should avoid having a rockstar as it’s both a bottleneck and a project failure risk. It also teaches dependency. It’s good to mentor and inculcate knowledge sharing, but if the same people are constantly leaning on that rockstar, rather than learning to be resourceful and take ownership of things, you’re headed for trouble. Grow your team and instill leadership in anyone willing to step up. Delegate. It’s a team effort.

  8. To me, BBG is brilliant in this respect. There’s so much for us to know, learn, and keep up with. These are great mental “bookmarks” to point you towards pinpoint searches, to find the depth you need elsewhere. I get what you’re saying though. A great addition in this channel, would be links to in-depth, or just follow-up videos with more depth on each topic, alone. Then you could go down each rabbit hole from the high level video, as needed.

  9. Russia was doing exceedingly well economically, and developing strong ties w/ the west through gas and oil markets. There's no reason that they could not have continued in prosperity and peace, in this manner, and positively influenced Ukraine with investments and other economic stimulus. They didn't need to invade, kill, rape, and destroy everything in their way to achieve regional dominance. If they had only used the power of the market to achieve their goals, they would have won the hearts and minds of their neighbors, and created the kind of buffer they seek. Instead, paranoid of the west and NATO, which has never invaded or even directly threatened Russia, they took the the path of brutality and death...once again. It's as if they can't evolve socially past their violent imperial past, when the rest of the world has. The west would have welcomed, and WAS welcoming an open and economically cooperative Russia, and now they have ensured at least a generation of distrust, and has lost access to the world's biggest markets. This brutal and senseless war will have only cost them a great deal of lives, and their economic future. Such a tragic, pointless waste.

  12. This has been the story of my 26 years in the industry, from the day I earned my first dollar writing code, to CIO. You’re paid well to produce and provide value to the company, not to be an artist. Finding that balance between the often difficult, even primadonna personalities on dev teams, the layers of dysfunctional management who are indifferent to them, and company leadership trying to execute their vision and stay in business, is not realistically possible. Truth is; the industry has been flooded with people who aren’t fit to be developers, thanks to a prolonged period of easy money and horrible economic/monetary policy. It’s not for everyone but people were told, “Learn to code! It’s easy money and a cushy job!” It makes sense that dissatisfaction is on the rise. We’re undergoing a recession/correction in tech labor that could last for years.

  14. In a smooth CI/CD setup, I find feature toggling via feature flags, the safest and easiest way to go. The smaller the feature, the better. He’s right though - if you’re not diligent about deleting old flags, code, tests, etc, your tech debt will pile up. Something teams generally need to work hard to prevent, regardless.

  15. I’m from NY but lived in Boise for many years, and raised a family there. It’s what America used to be. Boise doesn’t have a hood. Baltimore is what American cities are becoming. Boise voters are leaning the wrong way the last ten years it so, and they’re going to regret it, once they can’t safely walk the streets at night

  18. Russians are learning and fighting smarter. Let’s hope additional aid and training helps Ukraine keep up.

  19.  @VudrokWolf  Same here...25 years in many different stacks/techs. The industry is packed with young devs and the less experienced they are, the more they are convinced of their religious conviction of "The Right Way". It's a folly of youth and ego. When you start building complex distributed systems to scale out, not having centralized types quickly becomes a problem. So does not properly organizing a project into smaller, simpler, single-use files and bits of logic.
    3
  20. That's my biggest takeaway. When I've been in consulting, comprehensive automated tests are a tough sell for a lot of clients. It's the first thing to get cut. It's just tough to tell a client that yes, we may add 20% (just throwing a hypothetical, SWAG number out there) - but your code quality will be much better and we'll spend less time putting fires out. Add to that, writing and maintaining tests can be a drag. Having a virtual assistant to tackle that is like having a junior dev just hanging around, picking up the slack where you need and want it most.

  25. Extremely well articulated, thank you. As an architect and mentor, it’s very hard to convey these concepts, even to technical staff. It’s even harder to convey the value because many want the easy, naive approach that’s obvious on day one of a project. It’s experience with the hell that most large projects devolve into that have led us to new approaches, like microservices.

  26. This made me lololol. I've been building web apps since the late-90's and while the user experience has gotten better, the developer experience, especially if you insist on being fullstack, has become a world of hurt and misery. Looking for a job right now? Good luck, even if you have cutting-edge skills...but regardless - have you seen the skill requirements!? We're buried in frameworks, frameworks for frameworks, configuration, configuration for all of your configuration, cloud services, deployment, DevOps, DevSecOps, and every manner of trendy thing that requires you to sleep once every 3 days, so you can spend most of your life in front of a screen, trying to keep up. For what? CRUD. The internet is still just CRUD. The conclusion was great, though I'd go with an AWS serverless stack, just due to it being better for your career. JS - React, Lambda, Dynamo, wrapped up with the CDK, in a single GitHub repo, will scale to most things you'll ever write and give you a skill set that best benefits your career. All the bits therein can be learned quickly and swapped in/out as needed.

  28. This is gold - learning and playing the politics of the organization you're working with/for is key to being viewed as an expert and a solid professional, and not a non-team-player. A lot of younger devs (and I've been guilty of this when I was one myself) will come into a team project and immediately start criticizing the decisions that were made, the codebase, chosen libraries, and so on. This is an immediate red flag to me - this is someone who's going to be a real PITA and has a huge ego. It screams "inexperience" - someone who isn't thinking about the business or the value they're being paid to provide - just their personal satisfaction.

  29. As a staunch anti-war libertarian, I’d normally scoff at US military action and costs, anywhere in the world. We haven’t been on the right side of history for a very long time. I’m entirely with Ukraine and I’m sorry our gov’t is slowly backing away from supporting. Had the French not done the same for us, there would be no America, today. An evil, aggressive state initiated war against a peaceful neighbor. We should put our differences aside, recognize this evil, and provide Ukraine with everything it needs to end this occupation and finally win its independence. Ukraine would become a wonderful and valuable ally to the west. I wish you all success in 2024!

  33. I moved to the ATL metro a few years back and it’s exactly like this. You behave in summer here, like you would in winter, up north. Spring and fall are long and beautiful. Winter is January, likely with no snow and still plenty of outdoor days. I don’t even mind the hot soup summers, myself. 🤷

  35. Ah, The Great Debate. I’ve hunkered around many a whiteboard and heard endless iterations of passionate arguments for all approaches. Regardless of what you personally prefer, it all comes down to the project, your team, and what works for everyone. There’s no hard and fast rule and all approaches have their merit.

  38. There’s also the concept of a distributed monolith, where many distributed services utilize a single database. It can work in your favor in some scenarios, or be a complete anti-pattern if not implemented well. Similar to a modular monolith, always build out with a clean separation of concerns, so you can more easily distribute the data, later on.
    2
  39. Yeah, I’m gonna go looking for overly-simplistic examples of these in action, in a language I can follow…like JavaScript. I need to see implementations to really internalize the concept.

  42. You got it. I’ve been at it for 25 years and every few years there’s an evolutionary leap in our tooling which makes us more productive. Usually. It could also be argued that we’ve just added more tooling and complexity to fill that new productivity void. But I digress; AI isn’t revolutionary and it’s nowhere near replacing the analytical and creative prowess of real developers. It’s an excellent addition to our tooling and processes, and will lead to accelerated productivity and thus, more complex and innovative software. The people crying doom are the glut of junior/amateur devs with little-to-no skills, and corporate functionaries indulging in deep wishful thinking. Then there are the hype-mongers and attention-seekers in media who benefit from sensationalizing things. It’s far from over for us! Best days are ahead!

  43.  @calmhorizons Exactly right. There’s a tsunami of desire to build bigger things out there, but our trend towards engineering complexity is a natural dam. Every time we change the way we build things, the more expectations rise.

  45. We successfully implemented Redis (Redis Stack/RedisJSON/RediSearch) for simple, fast full-text searchable cache, in a microservices setting. It was a joy to work with. It has its quirks, but all systems do. Looking forward to utilizing Redis Cloud for the same purpose in a new project!

  47. It's fair to criticize NATO, and I don't think the US should be involved, but I also don't believe it's fair for Russia to have a say what happens or does not happen to an independent, sovereign nation, which is what Ukraine is. Regardless of what was said in 1991, Russia has never been invaded or harmed by NATO. Aggression can't be justified. Ukraine wanted to westernize and choose its own course, for better or worse, and Russia has no right to decide that for them. It truly is an abusive ex who can't let go. I hope Ukraine grinds their military into dust. Maybe then, the US can finally be pressured into paring down its insane global military empire down a bit.

  49. I've been a developer for 26 years now and in leadership, in one form or another, for the past 15 or so - never fully becoming a "manager who doesn't code". I love to write code and I love the creativity I'm able to express with this profession, but you hit the nail on the head - the industry has all but ruined the profession, starting with Google. Between every job I find myself spending countless hours re-learning all the things I had to memorize last time on the treadmill, which rarely get used in everyday software engineering to solve real-world problems. Algos, obscure data structures, 0(n) notation, mega-enterprise systems design, and a whole host of other things that only serve to get through interviews. This is why most of this stuff is useless in finding a great engineer! Add to that; as the market heads into another recession and layoffs have injected far more supply than demand, getting hired today is a truly painful, harrowing experience. I don't want to be a pure manager but the fantasy that I could, while also keeping my chops up while working on personal projects, is creeping into my consciousness more and more. The industry seems broken and I love people, love being in leadership, and am confident that I can definitely do the job well - I'm just not sure I'd be content. At that crossroads, for sure!

  50. I dunno. I think you've touched on the fact that AI isn't anywhere on par with human creativity - it relies on human creativity to provide content, and is made up of human-generated data. Will humans stop being creative and creating content because AI is also doing it? I don't think so. I have faith in the human spirit of genuine curiosity and the pursuit of novel ideas. At most, I think we'll end up with a hybrid universe of content with humans as the source, and AI as the processor, enhancing and refining what we imagine into existence.

  53. Great reminder that engineers are gonna over-engineer. Even senior professionals are often too quick too chase the shiny new hotness, and do what’s trendy. Monoliths are fine for far more than they get credit for, and usually a good way to start a project, at the very least. Keep design and tooling simple, and minimalistic, with the idea that you might break the monolith up, later on. We’re drowning in trends, tooling, configuration, overly-complex architecture, and general over-engineering. Very few of us are building anything that requires all this stuff. We’re not all Google and Amazon!

  59. An often go-to "but...but...but!" for these tools, is the legal angle. Yes, companies are hesitant to use AI tools, and rightfully so. You're sharing IP and potentially using someone else's IP. It's the wild west in AI right now and it'll take some time for that to settle. There are lots of amazing tools and extensions being built, some of which take this into account, allowing offline/on-prem or isolated models for your teams. This market will be huge, the potential is endless...and we should definitely embrace it!

  61. Love the concept! I’ll definitely be taking it for a spin soon and keeping an eye on its progress. Hope to see this get market traction, because traditional RDBMS systems have been showing their age for quite a while. It’s all just too difficult to manage. I’m curious to see if cloud vendors catch on to Surreal. Also curious about admin around it, dev lifecycle, etc. What do migrations look like? So many questions. Exciting stuff!

  62. Another thought: One of your points is burnout from learning new tech. One thing I've avoided in my career, and always advise younger or aspiring devs to do, is to carefully consider how you invest your learning time. Time is money, and time, like money, should be wisely spent. You wouldn't willy-nilly invest a few pennies of every dollar into a bunch of assets of highly questionable or unknown value - at least I hope you wouldn't. So, like material investments or substantial new purchases, you'd do some research into what the market is doing before investing your hard-earned money. Usually, I hope. I've been careful to only invest my time into technologies that I know are valuable on the market and will have staying power. Too many devs I've met will hop around from one stack to the next, framework to framework, and so on. Every other day they're touting the new JS framework, or a new ORM, and converting entire codebases. All this tech does essentially the same thing. We're mostly just creating CRUD that we publish to other computers. I think it's a sure recipe for learning burnout if you're trying to learn it all, and you'll end up frustrated and only lightly skilled in any one thing. A jack of all trades and master of none. Focus and depth is better, IMO.

  63. This was excellent! You should do another video on poverty level, which is something Milei's detractors have been banging on for a year. They'll admit he's doing positive things but the result of slashing the state was ultimately, higher poverty. We now know the poverty level is lower than when he took office, according to official stats. However, it's important to touch on why poverty appeared to spike, at first. Not because of his reforms, but due to the fact that they were being concealed by stats and other economic indicators, and it was going to take some time to reflect all of this.

  69.  @jackwinnfield  It's not exactly meant to be used "sparingly". You either utilize it or you don't bother w/ the effort. As the video mentions, it's an effective data bus for microservices. If you're not decoupling your microservices properly, you're setting yourself up for a lot of pain as development scales out, as you'll have a lot of "spaghetti services" that can't be deployed independently, cause cascading failures when one link in the chain goes down, and generally loses the ability to be fault-tolerant. If you're making direct calls between your services and it's holding up well, you likely over-engineered to begin with, and don't truly need microservices architecture to begin with.

  72. I spent the first 20 years of my career focused on .NET and C#, only to abandon it for JS stacks as they rose to prominence. It’s exciting that WASM is going to open so many doors for web development, outside of JavaScript. I’d love to refresh my dotnet chops, but most of what I see happening in the professional sphere there still revolves around stuffy old legacy projects and a hard push for Azure - neither of which are interesting to me. I still think dotnet’s best days are behind it.

  80. All these mental gymnastics just reinforces for me, that TypeScript is crap. No real safety, no runtime type checking. It’s a validator. After decades with strict typing in other languages, I was so excited to go full-JS and enjoy the flexibility and simplicity. I don’t need the explicit type crutches. Microsoft has succeeded in infecting JS and has made it a tedious mess.

  81. Call me old school, but I’m struggling to see the advantages of a monorepo. Less tooling and flexibility is a good thing, and microrepos scale better, IMO. For most projects, shared code, like utility modules, can simply be referenced via npm, or whatever package manager you’re using. Regardless of approach, good documentation, management, and communication cannot be optional. I feel like we devs are drowning in configuration and tooling these days, and it’s wise to avoid any complexity that you can.

  83. It's unfortunate that the era of the WYSIWYG seems to have passed. Both of these frameworks would benefit greatly from it, IMO. It's ancient technology now, but both C#/.NET and Java worlds embraced rapid application development with visual layout tools, which were truly awesome. Before mobile, I did a lot of work with the .NET Compact Framework (yes, I'm old, you wacky code school kids ;) and desktop w/ WinForms and Swing in Java. You could drag/drop widgets into place, set styles and properties, and mostly concern yourself with building the application...quickly! Hell man, even Dreamweaver was a huge timesaver for mocking up web apps, at the outset of a project. Where my WYSIWYG gone? :(

  84. You know...it was only meant to target the "rich" when it was first implemented. Taxes never stop w/ the rich. Eventually they come for everyone, and every thing that squirms, wiggles, or jiggles. It's well past time to "drain the swamp", but it's not going to happen. Gov'ts don't shrink and cede power to the people, unless they collapse under their own weight (taking everyone with them), or through revolution. Just voting in "the right people" is a fantasy.

I love iTerm2 on macOS because I can simply create a freeform layout, close and restart the app, and everything was persisted and restored without a bunch of configuration, extra packages, etc. I want the tiling terminal for Linux that does this for me and looks good in Gnome. Terminator is a buggy, confusing mess. Tilix comes close but requires manually saving/opening layouts for restoring.

  87. It was shocking to see the Russian body count, early on. Tens of thousands was hard to imagine. As this invasion drags on, it's clear that Russia cares not about the number of dead...or human life at all, for that matter. If 100,000+ Americans had been lost in any modern conflict, there'd be riots in the streets. You can blame Russian propaganda, but I don't entirely buy that. They see their missing sons and know full well what's going on. They don't care.

  89. Amazing. Thanks for calling out ask the wonderful tech we can buy to help save the planet, however … AlGore was right. The world ended in 2013 and we’re just living in a digital simulation of purgatory. Think about it.

  90. The commies (progressives) are stepping up their offense. Texas, and the rest of the south, are the only stalwarts against a complete socialist transformation of the U.S. They’re encouraging illegal immigration and then co-opting minority groups, in order to consolidate power. Resist!

  91. Don’t worry, someone will create the one framework to rule them all. Again. Then every other framework will mimic it, build compilers and meta-frameworks for it, stick AI into it, and we’ll start this whole absurd “innovate but never mature” hell cycle over again. Hell with this s**t. jQuery is starting to sound really good again.

  92. You had me at "PopOS". I'm giving this a shot, and hope to find the same ThinkPad since this would be a dev machine for me. Thanks for doing this!

  93. I’ll admit. I’m a hater. I hate PHP. I always have. I just f***ing hate it so much.

  94.  @krishmehta7903  Yes.

  95.  John Roberts  Correct. And, sometimes it is.

  96.  John Roberts  An insult is certainly more convenient than a rational counter-argument?

  97.  John Roberts  He believes the vaccine is dangerous, and would prefer a voluntary jab over coercion. What’s so hard to understand? The fact that you don’t agree doesn’t settle the conversation. You chose ad hominem. It’s lazy.

  98. They must have "fixed" it. Not the first time they've tried to edit history and steer users. If I search for Donald Trump I get an equal amount of Trump content, but naturally all the news coverage is negative. When I search for "Kamala Harris" the news coverage is positive, of course. Same for DuckDuckGo, but it's not their fault but rather the mainstream media coverage they're returning.

  99. Right. Or, just execute the script with bash by prefixing with “bash” in the terminal.

  100. Nice little tutorial! This is all most devs need to build small apps. I really need to dive into Next...I'm still building things w/ CRA (happily...but SSR would be nice.)

  101. Bun looks like something to keep your eyes on! Best to watch market adoption and issues the early-adopters are having, before taking it too seriously. However, this is obvious (much needed) maturity in the JavaScript universe. We're absolutely drowning in frameworks, libraries, and f***ing configuration...and configuration for your configuration, and frameworks on top of other frameworks. If we see things being consolidated and simplified, we know we're seeing true ecosystem maturity.

  102. While this is interesting, I'm always wary of these layers-upon-layers of magical abstractions. All cost concerns aside, which can easily be controlled and aren't the boogyman man of the comments might suggest; you're not learning enough about the underlying infrastructure you're maniuplating. All abstractions come with this cost. Even with CDK, which I've adopted and started using because you need some sort of IaC tool for automation, you've got to understand what's happening under your code. To me, if you're strictly AWS, CDK is the way to go, and adding another layer on top of that might be easier, but you learn and understand less of the consequences of what you're executing. All that being said, we're mired in frameworks, built atop frameworks, embedded with endless layers of abstraction and configuration. There's a shiny new toy every-other-day. You can chase your tail around for years and never settle on "THE stack"...and all of these toys achieve the same thing, in the end. At what point do you select "the best" tools and stick to them for more than a few months, or even a few years? As neat as this is, I prefer to stay as close to the "bare metal" as possible, while accepting that the market will push you into certain things that you have no choice in adopting. Keep it as simple as possible, even if it's more difficult and requires a little more code and understanding. These frameworks come and go, seemingly overnight. If you stick to strong fundamentals and as few abstractions as possible, you'll waste less time and build more stable environments.

  103. Wait. This is supposed to spur outrage? Why? Seems like an entirely appropriate place and time for his personal views. I'm confused as to why this makes nightly news?

  104. It’s hard to believe that Russians are so stupid, petty, and barbaric, that they’d destroy their own when they just as easily could have targeted Ukrainians, just a few houses away. That’s psychotic. Just when I thought I couldn’t be shocked any further, in this senseless war.
