F# is one of the best professional experiences in my career writing software. Unfortunately now Im back in a dynamically typed world dealing with null checks and exceptions..

This is especially true when you've got yourself a distributed monolith architecture.

However, the case for monolith architecture to make a favourable comeback based on factors such as performance and operational cost are all negated when you have multiple teams working on a single monolith. It quickly because a nightmare to manage all those code changes, and then you have manage to releases etc.

Most companies are doing microservices wrong, and it gets expensive fast.Thats not to say microservices are the inferior choice, because for most large orgs they are not.

Are we really going to see this debate pop up again, just because amazon did something?

Elon musk set a precedent - you can treat your employees (serfs) like shit and get away with it. Layoffs, perks being removed, the tone has generally shifted to "look we have free coffee" to "we own you, be glad to have a job, oh and you might not actually have a job after all".

This is a change of winds, instead of pandering to engineers companies are trying to debase us and remind us where we are in the totem pole.its not about revenues, its about power.

What a pukey post. We get paid more because our jobs are more difficult and generally make a bigger impact. You make me sick posting this.

Man, nonsense is just what you've spouted. One name vs hundreds of thousands afflicted from burnout and inept social skills with a challenging social reality in which they struggle to rebuild them in. I would seriously hate to work with you based on how much of a dumbass you definitely are.

Yeah, sure. It's super easy to avoid gainful employment. Based on this comment I can already tell you're a genius.

Oh yeah. I've met more than a couple of engineers who spent their teens and twenties coding like that was the meaning to life, all suffer from deep regret, burnout, resentment, depression.

They are better than average technically, but their social skills fail them. Which in a paid employment situation carries a lot of weight.

I feel sorry for these guys

How is Nodes biggest issue, Node? It eclipses any other JS runtime out there, and by a long way

What's the reasoning behind the design decision 'refusing to search for hashes', what grounds would they have to block such searches?
