Just 6 hours, lol!

Gentoo veterans should remember this one:

SpaceX does an excellent job at videography. Sad that Nasa flew its Artemis mission with potato cameras.

Maybe I missed something, if you have the image rendering in the first place, you already (likely) have the CAD. It is a nice demo, but what is the utility?

I love that subscriptions in the US are (usually) immediately cancellable. Germany is the wild west of predatory subscription plans, and unfortunately the legal framework weighs heavily in favor of the businesses issuing these contracts and not the consumers.

Lengthy article but not even one image of the Moonlander. OP, why do you make me Google it?

Kafkaesque to configure and get running for simple tasks.

Startup founder here -- we tried it, and it feels bloated (Java!), bureaucratic and overcomplicated for what it is. Something like Redis queues or even ZMQ probably suffices for 90% of use cases. Maybe in hyper-scaled applications that need to be ultraperformant (e.g., realtime trading, massive streaming platforms) is where Kafka comes into play.

Who uses google to search anymore? LLMs FTW.

What the poster is insinuating is that system design interviews may devolve into a scripted / memorized hoop-jumping experience rather than being a creative technical problem solving discussion.

How to spend millions on an incremental change -- looks flat and uninspiring as ever...

Symbian was going to magically fix all their problems.

Really? I remember Symbian had the crappiest and most shoestring C++ dev stack ever.

What does solving random puzzles from Leetcode have to do with day-to-day engineering work? IMHO, the emphasis should be on previous experience, CS domain knowledge and systems architecture / design. Maybe degrees need to be fixed to convey more useful knowledge...

What about honoring our multi-year college degrees. Isn't that licensing enough?

I love the system he built, but the kicker would be to enable auto-filling and submitting on the various career portals. I question the efficacy of submitting job applications via email in 2024 (but perhaps I'm in the wrong industry.)

Great writeup. Sucks when this gets asked in a coding interview to be solved in 15min :)

At first glance I thought this was the headline of a satirical article. :D

The cathedral of drag.
