I think that seniority is closely correlated to understanding tradeoffs. Where a junior and a senior can make from time to time the same decision, how they do it is different. For junior it's often the only option he sees, or doesn't even realize he's making the decision that will have consequences. Whereas senior will think of the context and what are the possible options. All of them will be suboptimal and tradeoffs will be involved. And he'll pick the one that makes most sense with limited information from the context (tech properties, people impacted by the decisions, effort vs importance etc.).

...And senior's decision will unfortunately often be suboptimal as well, but that's what it is. He at least tried to understand the consequences and didn't have access to more information to evaluate it better. But he tried and will reflect on the failure and hopefully do slightly better next time at least in similar context.

Thanks for the explanation. To my understanding, that's only necessary when I actually use the certificate, not as the part of certificate validation. I assumed the validation would happen with me setting some DNS record with particular value they can validate or something similar.

Thanks. I'd actually prefer to by through Namecheap as well. I saw RapidSSL and PositiveSSL certs, but I thought they are not suitable if I want both w/ and w/o 'www' subdomain.

So if I buy RapidSSL or PositiveSSL through Namecheap for www.example.com, they will automatically come with example.com in SAN?

Also, why do they have "You also need to have a dedicated IP address" in the requirements? Is this used somewhere in the validation process? I'm asking because the website runs on top of AWS S3, so I do not have dedicated IPs.

I've moved completely away from Google. DuckDuckGo for search, here.com for maps, fastmail.com for mail (using my domain, so I'm not locked in), Firefox as browser.

It was not as hard as I expected.

I guess the email was the hardest one do to. I needed to change quite a few addresses for different accounts. I've also put a permanent vacation responder stating that I use new email. It was definitely worth it. And the best: even from usability perspective, I like fastmail.com better than Google.

Seriously one of the worst posts I've seen on top page in a long while.

Disclaimer: from here on I'll also be a bit opinionated, hardly can be worse than the post. And yes he did write the disclaimer, and no, still doesn't help at all.

Just LOL.

What's the difference between Python and Ruby and the conclusion?

Scala doesn't get him excited? Well, can be if he's "not clever enough to program in Haskell". (Not a bad thought-terminating cliché btw)

The best: "limited compile-time safety (you can lint and unit test)" of node? And is offset by "not creating a large codebase!" ?!

Half the languages he mentioned are less verbose than JS.

Oh, and he didn't mention the coolest feature of JS: weak typing, which works perfectly for long-term projects.

On the other hand Lisp? Ah, I'll stop here.

He could have just written "here are the languages I'm currently interested in" and be done with that.
