This is so clearly all LLM-generated, it hurts. That coverage page in particular is seemingly nonsense.

also check out his similar work, https://miniswift.run/ which has the same issues.

You wouldn't believe the amount of reasoning I saw these past few months that was correct until the stochastic parrot decided that a "wait" token should now be used and everything steered off a cliff.

tldr: vibe overengineered and badly configured platform crashes under minimal load.

500 concurrent users is not "production traffic".

Nothing to learn here, apart from: this could've been one server engine, one database, and vanillajs. Let's repeat our usual mantra before building anything: you're not building current(!) Facebook/Netflix from scratch, stop having 10+ product dependencies, 20 services and 6 different languages in your toy project.

can confirm, some do C++ (more than C, I meant C as a language family in my original post)

Enterprise I've seen, all europe, deliberately vague: Banking, Telecoms, Trains, Insurance

I work in enterprise, and java still reigns supreme. You see some (very limited) cracks coming from other jvm languages, but that's all. Nobody talks about Rust, rarely about C.

I have like a dozen different german friends, and it's nothing like you say: everyone in the country curses the bureaucracy, every sunday is like "oh let's quickly get something from the shops oh no wait it's sunday uuuugh"

The taxes seem largely fine relative to the cost of living there, with people living in poorer regions at an advantage even due to the Freibetrag.

yeah it's not a good design to have tags have two sets of children: a Set of key-value children and then a List of tree object children.

One of our customers has a daily automated restart for their servers. This is because the IT people have long lost track of what the system actually does, and feel they have no time to figure it out.

It is the bane of my existence when it comes to the predictability of uptime, not to mention long-term processes getting interrupted over the day boundary.

about what getting a computer into a productive state means

Why would you do that? Is your OS not running stable? Do you not have tight control over the software that is running? Why are you unable to keep it in a productive state?

Greetings from a Computer that only restarts for updates every few days, next to an airgapped machine that has been running for years.

It took me so long to beat the following into my team: Inheritance and instantiation by default is a no-no. Use instances when state would be useful to the process, and use Inheritance when you have a lot of overlap between two processes/concepts and want to simplify/unify the code base.

Application of inheritance is a reaction to the current state of the code, not a foundation you start with.
