Monopolies are very expensive for the society.

I am not very skilled in economics but i feel like software scales really well, so the supply costs should be more flat. And maybe even negative. Meaning that the producer surplus will actually be a lot larger than the heuristic example here. Meaning that Gates has robbed us even more.

I am already a keyboard warrior, let’s go!!!

Release the Epstein files

🤣

Copy files and do a

python3 -m http.server

Very simple and does the job.

It is Orwellian times.

Wrong is right and truth changes according to the convenience of the king.

Yeah it is hard to know what is truth because people actully think that 5g is covid or some bullshit.

I was trying to be sarcastic, because having a whole wall of your own caps screams all of that stuff…

Looking at the comment I see why it misunderstood haha…

For the record: trump is a pedophile and a rapist. This is basically fact by now.

He is not tacky. He is not a narcissist. He is not a rapist.

The worst thing is that he is probably genuinely really proud of his caps.

Quite an effective way to destroy someone’s reputation and ego.

What a colleague! Haha!

We didn’t have a CEO for half a year… What changed? Nothing…

Then we got a new CEO… His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people…

Thank god for that save

Here is the expendability graph

If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

What if those chains handle thousands of massages per second?

Serious backend is indeed a stretchy term. And I agree with that point b2b java is common. But our b2b backend handles multiple thousands of massages per second. I find the bottleneck to be MySQL and RabbitMQ.

I think it makes sense for a serious backend to have load balancing and nginx cache and horizontal scaling. I reckon QPS doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.

I still don’t think that java would be considered niche. I rather think that C or C++ would be considered niche. It takes longer to develop, and is not memory safe so I don’t think that most backend systems should consider it.

Most developers are not going to create the next kubernetes. For me it is usually down to earth integrations. Take this file from s3, send as email and sftp here. Create API to proxy another API. Take messages from Kafka, put on rabbitMQ. Save messages from rabbitMQ to database.

I think Java is very strong with libraries. Especially with Spring Boot and camel. I don’t really see it as niche but more of a plain boring peanut butter sandwich. Boring. Unexciting. But works.

I am however trying to convince my boss to allow kotlin. Which has access to all the java libraries

I have a colleague like that too, and then the other camp that loves MySQL.

Why do you like postgres

My bank does this too. I also just change the user agent to switch and it works with no issues.

At this point it just seems silly that they even want to go out of their way to Prohibit Linux users

Backend

Oh I know that feeling. But when you get the hang of it you will never go back

It can be quite overwhelming if nobody knows how to use git.

I know software teams that went back to share code on teams folders after having used git…

Please get a git course for all the developers
