It feel amazing putting all my capital to help advance the transportation technology of a whole city. Truly amazing!

I used elemeentary os at work for a while.

Looked great at the first view.

Months after using it became a living hell to work with it.

The delay between app switches is a shit.

Swiched to GNOME/Debian. Never looked back.

GNU make is one of the most complete task manager I have seem.

But there are a few major problems with it:

Newies often complain a lot about the esoteric syntax.

It's written in C.

It doesn't gets updated as fast as it should.

These points make it not very suitable for our current time.

I belive we all just need to pick something like gulp and port the "good parts" into it.

There is no point in having 20 tools that do the same!

This is something it bothers me a lot.

What they don't tell you is that in order to achieve "exactly once" delivery you need to have idempotent writes. For example inserting in a database using PKs.

Storm is pretty much dead. Spark, from my point of view, is the current forerunner.

It support mostly all use cases. Batch jobs. Streaming jobs. Work is being done to reduce the batch time to ms.

Comercial support is very good from the guys at Cloudera and Databricks.

My 2 cents. I hope It helps someone.

BeOS was great.

All the hard work put on the icons and the GUI. It was truly remarkable.

If i'm not mistaken, I compiled my first C program on that OS.

Reading the SDK documentation was also a great source of ideas for a newbie in C++. I remember that the idea of flattenable objects blow my mind :D

To this day I still wonder why it hasn't gained more adoption.

Mad respect at all those folks working on Haiku!

I was working on the social integration on a project. The hell that the backend coder and I went trying to make work the js sdk for facebook was just stupid. We ended using a python lib for facebook integration. A real shame such a big company releasing a crappy sdk.

It isn't. Since every library the application needs is inside the bundle, you load multiple versions of the same lib on memory. Also counting the installer, the bundle and Brew or MacPorts you have a tons of way to install an app.
