OT but I’ve been working with WASM and TinyGo and hit an unexpected roadblock: TinyGo lacks JSON support (because the native go implementation uses reflection).

That meant that I couldn’t find a way to serialize structs between host and WASM compiled functions/modules.

The initial implementation of what I wanted to do took me half an hour. Trying and testing serialization libraries (JSON, protobuf, msgpack) took me four days and couldn’t find one that worked (working on a apple M1 made things more complicated). The one left to try is karmem but I just had to move on and be productive.

I used goja instead to get unstuck but now I want to find a working solution :)

I would call that a megalith, and not to be cute but to give a sense of scale which is useful. I think there is a point in which a monolith grows so big that is painfully obvious that size became an obstacle greater than the benefits. Pain tolerance differs so the label gets applied at different sized monoliths.

I often interpreted this as a conservative interpersonal communicative approach. It is safer to talk about yourself than to ask questions from people because there risk of inadvertently saying something offensive.

Sure, you will find people that are a bit more self absorbed and would just pong about themselves.

But there are so many conversational constraints- asking “why” is aggressive, direct feedback is discouraged, slipping pronouns or other identity traits is a minefield, etc. You should not follow up when others say something because they were being polite and you’re putting them in evidence…

If you get to engaged in a conversation people can feel weirded out, like you’re supposed to go through the motions but that’s it.

Not talking also can get you in trouble.

Talking about yourself is probably the safest thing to do.

I only used the VScode extension and is great. Except that it modifies the whole interface so I have two IDE instances one for with platformio and one without. It even encouraged me to write test for my arduino projects

I wonder if anyone can comment if they have experience running minio at scale. It would be a pleasant surprise if a “simple” minio cluster could handle such workload

How does “democratize the custom data access layer” make money?

I’ve read the post you linked and I still don’t know how you plan to make money. Also, the blurb you copy pasted it tells me nothing in a clear way.

Im curious to learn more about these conspiracies of the left. Do you have books to share or other resources?

PDCA sounds to me like it would fit with the agile scrum cycle of plan, sprint, review and retro? I would not be surprised if scrum is just repackaging
