Late thirties is aging? That's like peak life. You have money and family (at least a chance of that) and purpose in your life. You have confidence and you know who you are.
You are still a bit dumb, but less dumb than twenty somethings. I liked my late thirties.
Problem is that companies are using them for all scenarios. It's often their entire tech stack now, with kubernetes.
It's similar to the object oriented hype that came before it, where developers had to write all their programs in a way so they could be extended and prepared for any future changes.
Everything became complex and difficult to work with. And almost none of those programs were ever extended in any significant way where object oriented design made it easier. On the contrary, it made it far more difficult to understand the program since you had to know which method was called in which object due to polymorphism when you looked at the code. You had to jump around like crazy to see what code was actually running.
Now with kubernetes, it's all about making the programs easier to scale and easier to develop for the developers, but it shifts the complexity to the infrastructure needed to support the networking requirements.
All these programs now need to talk over the network instead of simply communicating in the same process. And with that you have to think about failure scenarios, out of order communication, missing messages, separate databases and data storage for different services etc.
I don't think people have a choice. If you join a company where they use kubernetes, you have to use that technology for everything. You can't escape the complexity even if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.
Yes but in practice, companies don't want to replace their entire tech stacks, and specially if it's a large company. It costs an enormous amount of money (because of the time and effort it takes) and means the entire company has to relearn how to work with that stack instead.
It's not impossible and it can happen, but in my experience from working at probably 20 companies now, there is almost always a strong resistence to change.
People don't even change their default search engine or browser most of the time.
Yeah I agree. With experience you know where to use it and where it really shines, and when not to use it because it will just make everything harder to reason about.
But a lot of devs are not that experienced when they make these decisions. All of us learn from mistakes, and those mistakes stay in the code base. :)
Yeah it's insane. But of course if scaling different parts of the application, I guess micro services are the way to do it. But otherwise one could scale the entire app by just putting more of the entire app on servers. No need for micro services. It just needs to be written to be able to listen to message queues and you can have any number of app instances.

Even worse when you have a bug and you cant stop trying to find it and fix it. I often have the feeling that if I stop now, I lose the entire context of what I'm doing and it's just so hard to get started again the next day.
I prefer to dig in until I find it, even when tired and hungry.

I can't believe it's still at 170+. People must really not realize that the first mover advantage is over, and Tesla has had their moment already. They are not going to lead this change to evs. Most manufacturers have good or better electric cars now.
Also people can't afford them. Current prices are ridiculous. The company that brings low price evs that are good enough will dominate the market the next 5 years. It won't be Tesla.
I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don’t have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it....
All of this is the opposite of being real. People who are actually real have no attraction to publishing what they are doing to their friends at random times.
Wait until they start with the "Chinese cars spy on you". It was the entire argument why Huawei phones couldn't even be sold in the US. Despite no evidence at all.
America has the largest spy network on the planet, and all electric cars spy on where we drive, how fast we drive, what we listen to etc. Some even film us while driving for "safety". But appearently that's OK, as long as the Chinese are not doing it. :)

Who remembers their passwords? Use a password manager and it's as simple as a Google login. It even fills in the credentials automatically on a hotkey.
Ok you have to create a new password the first time you want to register somewhere. But how lazy can people get? It's also just a button click in a password manager.
Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
Totally agree. Arch is actually a really good, simple system. That's why so many people pick it as their main distro. Once you have installed it a few times, it's just very simple how it works. There is no magic.
True, I have not installed it. I ran Fedora for a while long time ago and selinux was causing tons of headaches. So I never wanted to have it on my system after that.
I'm not sure. A friend was talking about how her partner had been doing ayahusca and it cured his depression and made his personality turn 180 degrees around. It inspired me to try it again. I was doing it 10 years ago and it changed how I view the world. Maybe it's time again.
Our purpose is to evolve from animal-like beings that copy crude animal behavior and take as much as we can for ourselves and stash it away, into confident, generous and happy human beings that are a joy to be around. Which is hard to do considering the society we live in, and the fake lack of resources (money) we are forced to comply with.
If only Helix would have vim mappings and a plugin system, it would kill neovim over night...
In it's current state, it's only suitable for people who don't need any plugins. So if you want a plugin for picking a virtual environment in python for example, you just can't do it in Helix.
I don't know, to me it's really limited without any form of plugins. I truly wish it had a plugin system because tons of people would write high quality rust plugins.
