Just some casual kids dying of starvation, shelling. Millions of people displaced. Being shunted around. And a genocide live on social media. Funded by the country most represented on this site.

But yeah there are a lot of problems. I think this one is special as it shows we are going backwards, away from the lessons learned and comventions formed from the Napoleonic and World wars. We are going back to all's fair. And that might come for you or me one day.

That reminds me of arcade games of the early 90s. So that is a decent job making an arcade quality game on a microcomputer (expensive one sure... but still not a dedicated console).

Yes. I think he prefers a car to walking. But there are few trips where you would think "should I drive, or walk?".

He should compare it to HTML or XML or Haml

They also hustle theatre. For every startup job mentioning role impact there is one that doesn't but tries hard to get across how much of Saturday and Sunday you should be working to be consider moral enough to work for them. Then on LI pictures of staff on 24h+ working stints that might kill them.

That is in danger of being a typical "weird heuristic" that linked in loves to post about (with high p values).

I have seen people say for recruiting advise.

* They recommend you hustle. E.g. deliver your resume pretending to be a food delivery

* Don't follow up if explicitly not told to by your recruiters instructions.

* You must have an up to date linked in.

Usually in hot take format that if you dont do that you got no chance.

So everyone stick to measuring for the role!

There is definitely a wood for the trees issue at bigger companies. I doubt there is an architect who understands the full system to see how to simplify it. Hard to even know what "simpler" looks like.

Yes. I like the idea of assertions too. Log when an assertion fails. Then get notified to investigate.

It is a balance. Too many logs cost money and slow down log searches both for the search and the human seeing 100 things on the same trace.

Yes. Everyone should spent the small amount of time getting some logging/metrics going. It's like tests, getting from 0-1 test is psychologically hard in a org but 1-1000 then becomes "how did I live without this". Grafana has a decent free tier or you can self host.

He doesnt seem to mention Conway or team topology which is an important part of system design too.

What does that have to do with it? One company (desperate to keep runway), one product, one release.
