A recent HN discussion on microservices had people saying (paraphrasing) “it’s the only way we can collaboratively build software”.
Programming languages currently seem to be built for programming as a solitary activity. Seems to me that programming languages could be designed with the aim of solving the large scale collaboration problem.
This should be built into IDEs.
But really their success was all about Ruby On Rails and the community and publicity and audience that brought.
So I’m not sure quite what to make of this post.
YouTube would be one if the biggest companies ever if it had remained independent.
If you feel inclined you can say “I’m taking a job with an employer who doesn’t pay based on location”.
But there’s really no reason to do the employer the service of telling them.
