Except that Xserve had some of the same problems. I managed 10 of them in datacenters, and tens of Mac minis in 2005-2010.

Can confirm. I saw some fresh out of college colleagues do this in text docs. Al nice markup, but the text content was very drafty. I always sent them back to keep the format concept-y if you are tuning the text first.

This is happening at my place as well. I am a senior leader, but I find it hard to push back on this. I something looks plausible and everyone has reacted with a thumbs up (but probably only skimmed the document), when is the first one saying “what is this shit?”

The length itself is not an indicator per se, but you can sense when it is not honest. If others do not have a sense for it, it seems like complaining about something new.

I think we have enough anecdata that users don’t like a changing interface. They like keeping things the same, mostly.

So how can you keep generating disposable software on this layer?

And what you mostly want to change in software, is new features or handle more usage. If you do that, it needs in most cases changes to the data store and the “hand crafted core”.

So what part in practice will be disposable and how often will it be “generated again”?

Maybe for simple small stuff, like how fast Excel sheets are being made, changed and discarded? Maybe for embedded software?

The scroll hijacking on this page is horrendous. I could almost not close the page anymore on iOS because of everything going on.

Same in the Netherlands. PostNL halted all box shipments to the US last Friday. Only allowing envelopes to go through.

They planned to support the new regulations before, but pulled the plug last Friday.

We use it with PHP/Laravel on the server side. It just needs HTML pages and the JavaScript of Hotwire Turbo in that page.

For the fancy streams and frames you need some extra headers being sent from the server, but also that is doable from PHP.

It is not “companies” but individuals. But yes, there are a lot of people that are only driven by greed and power. But not all by a long shot. I believe most of society would fail if everyone was doing the maximum they could get away with. So, there should be a lot of people that don’t seek the maximum they can get away with.

But I agree that a lot of companies are so big and so faceless, that they do too much bad stuff and lots of people in the company would just shrug it off with “it is not my job to say something”.

I don’t think this is universally true. At least not here in the Netherlands, but even in visiting the US it does not feel like that everywhere.

I think it is very sad the moral standards are so low. I find that even harder when mixed with “why does the government get involved in everything?” attitude.

I also don’t lead my company of 27 people that way.

These blanked statements about monoliths are what made every junior dev think that microservices are the only solution.

If you cannot make a clean monolith, I have never seen any evidence that the same team can make good microservices. It is just the same crap, but distributed.

The last 2 years I see more and more seasoned devs who think the opposite: monoliths are better for most projects.

That sounds much better, thanks for the effort.

I did that, but sometimes it takes a short moment before Unit is started, so you need a loop to check if Unit is responding before you can send the config. In total it was around 20 lines just to load the config. It feels like doing something wrong. Or using the wrong tool.
