Very well said. I think there is enormous complexity in many layers because we don't have that building block easily available.

What you say and the math does not agree. Do it 10x and in your scenario already 1TB is consumed of those "hundreds of TB of writes".

In every project that I've seen using it, it was a tremendous unnecessary waste of time in comparison to writing feature/acceptance tests just in Ruby. Gherkin is just such a poor language in terms of expressiveness compared to Ruby. Not to mention things like poor REPL experience when writing the scenarios.

What about MP3, MP4, H264 etc? Aren't they good examples of successful formats despite the necessary licensing fees etc?

Is it more expensive than keeping an office for entire year, though?

What's the source of this claim, especially the "still" part. I could never find newest data which would confirm it easily.

> creating a container for any minor thing like npm + some js project

I am backend engineer with a non-JS background and to me that's a a very useful thing. I really don't want to install specific node version, yarn version, etc to run some node/JS application. If I can just docker-compose up that's much easier to me and I know it does not affect anything globally. So removing it after playing around is easy and non-risky.

Jira is slow and Confluence too. I 120% agree. It's the biggest issue for me. The longer the page in Confluence the worse it gets. I use it for weekly meeting notes and every 2 quarters I need to start a new document because editing the current one causes the CPU to go brrrrr.

Rubymine is fantastic most of the time. But when projects use too much DSLs and 'magic', nothing helps.

Exactly same experience. Hearing disabled and using subtitles whenever I can. The generated ones are not good at all. The more unusual wording (i.e. full of technical terms or custom names) the worse it is.
