I don't agree with this take, there are a bunch of security companies that are screening new versions of packages looking for vulnerabilities, so waiting a bit before upgrading to the lastest package is miles better than immediately upgrading.

The physical limitations work with you, not against you. Have you ever read a book? The physical limitations is the blank paper, you need to be creative enough with the words you need to express for your vision to come to life.

Sprints are a good tool to transform bad teams into better teams. No amount of process and tools is going to convert a good team into being a great one.

Great teams do not need additional processes to deliver value and they usually are more of an obstacle. Clear goals and a vision are much more important, as well as having an environment where the decision makers are the one implementing the solution.

You can set your router with a firewall NAT rule to capture all DNS requests and redirect them to use Pi-Hole. Your tv will think it talks to 8.8.8.8 when in reality it will talk to your server.

Yes, I think the second diagram that you showed is the preferred way of doing things, since using or "dogfooding" the client libraries will ensure they are always tested and correct, plus you'll get immediate feedback from the other developers who work on the apps as well.

Oh man, I was just about to recommend this book, you beat me to it. I am currently reading it, and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're interested in distributed systems and learning about database fundamentals, it really is a must read.

  - Preventing me from switching to it: once a tool (ie. pencil) is used for a stroke, it reverts back to mouse cursor (I'd rather have it stay as pencil and hit 1 for it to switch to a cursor)
There is a little lock icon next to the drawing tools which enables you to lock a tool, so it won't revert back.

Is opentelemetry ready for production usage? As my understanding this project is a merge between OpenCensus and OpenTracing, but it’s still in beta and the documentation is really lacking. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with this library?

I'm building a web app for sending newsletters with AWS Simple Email Service https://github.com/mailbadger/app. It's still a work in progress, I'm still a couple of features away from releasing a beta version, but basically you'll be able to import your subscribers, group them, create templates and create and send campaigns. After that you can see statistics such as bounces, complaints etc.

I'm using Go for the backend and React on the frontend, along with MySQL and NATS for message queueing.
