Also curious about people who enjoy it and say it helps with back pain etc. :

What's your age and how active are you?

What's wrong with living close to people as a kid?

This line of thinking is entirely new and really foreign to me. Even my grandparents, and the people around them, living in a tiny town and owning quite a few large pieces of land chose to build their homes close to each other. Sharing walls even.

How is not seeing your father better than sharing a wall with someone?

As a kid I'd rather have my parents around when I got back from school more than I'd want a backyard or more expensive clothes and toys.

People who think they're doing their kids a favor by commuting 4 hours a day to work 10 hours are at best misguided and most probably have a martyr complex.

That is not my experience at all, and I believe the term imposter syndrome is widely used by others in the industry.

Is there any good reason why splitting a hundred dollar keyboard would have to cost three times as much?

Anyway, I paid 30 euros for my last mechanical (with rgb lighting) shipped to my door. Patent expiration is a beautiful thing.

So you either don't work there as a parent or you become the caricature father from the 90s movies that misses all of his kids' games, fails to pick them up from school (although we solved this with Uber (TM)) etc.

"If you are actually able to build a well-structured monolith, you probably don’t need microservices in the first place. Which is OK! I definitely agree with Martin: You shouldn’t introduce the complexity of additional distribution into your system if you don’t have a very good reason for doing so.

So what would be a good reason? There are many, but to me the most important one is to allow for fast, independent delivery of individual parts within a larger system. Microservices’ main benefit, in my view, is enabling parallel development by establishing a hard-to-cross boundary between different parts of your system. By doing this, you make it hard – or at least harder – to do the wrong thing: Namely, connecting parts that shouldn’t be connected, and coupling those that need to be connected too tightly. In theory, you don’t need microservices for this if you simply have the discipline to follow clear rules and establish clear boundaries within your monolithic application; in practice, I’ve found this to be the case only very rarely.)"

In theory, you know before building a system whether you'll need the things you deem important on deciding whether you're better off with microservices.

In practice you very rarely do.

So we're back at square one.

This user was downvoted for his views which are the rough equivalent of "she was asking for it".

To see this as people simply being closed-minded to different cultures is really myopic.

I personally refuse to hold people to different moral standards because they come from another country.

So if you have to explain a make-believe theory to a friend, or if they don't want to offend you and mix your "special" ("special" enough that even supposed experts in the field have a hard time identifying whether it's expensive or not) alcohol water with sugar water to make it bearable, they're dead to you.

Because people deserve to be judged on the sensitivity of their taste buds.

Somehow, I believe they're better off.
