The glass-half-full here is it’s an incredible signal that one of the largest financial gateways in the world is _able_ to do this with current capabilities.

He said he’d forego glory, not values.

Where he encouraged people to lean into intentionality and finding purpose rather than using therapy as a replacement?

I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and I’ve benefited GREATLY from talk therapy in numerous ways. I’m an advocate for therapy. I simultaneously stand behind his post as a healthy nudge for many.

It does have a GIL. You’re not wrong, but by that same logic, there’s pitfalls when using multi-threading as well, even in languages where it’s native (e.g., Elixir).

Regardless, in my experience, when you run into scenarios that need queueing, multi-threading, etc., you need to know what you’re doing.

I’ve never felt like “throw everything into a queue” was a mindset within the Ruby community, nor have we done that at my companies. And multi-region is a business decision.

Neither sticking everything into a queue nor going multi-region are Ruby’s fault.

I didn't insist that. Understood, but specifically, I was talking to the comment I replied to, which was about 1440p monitors in particular.

Are you using enlarged text or native 1440p? If the latter, have you used 4k or retina displays in the past? It’s hard to go back after that.

Oh interesting, good to know.

Ahhh got it, this is focusing primarily on load balancing at a lower layer of routing then than what I'm referring to. While not wrong, "global load balancing" threw me off a bit.

EDIT: see the other reply, appears that it handles both given it leverages Fly's Anycast setup.
