Hi, thank you for going through the trouble of putting this together. This sort of service is invaluable as it allows us clueless people to be mindful about something that negatively impacts our life.…

> Good explanation for why hiring stopped. If AI is improving rapidly why hire engineers now that you might not need in 6-12 months? I'm not so sure that's the reason. I mean, to believe …

> This article actually explains how this bug in particular could have been avoided. Not really. The article is a textbook example of hindsight bias. It's a simplistic analysis of a far more c…

You failed to cite the comment you were replying to. The comment is: > You can learn without reading random people online cynically shit talking others as a self promotion strategy.

> I disagree. I learnt good stuff from this article and it’s enough. That's perfectly fine. It's also besides the point though. You can learn without reading random people online cynicall…

This sort of Monday morning quarterbacking is pointless and only serves as a way for random bloggers to try to grab credit without actually doing or creating any value.

The article tries very hard to pretend there are problems that don't really exist, and does that by going through great lengths to ignore any possible solution. Take for example the blogger'…

> I love and use rust, it is my favorite language and I use it in several of my OSS projects but I'm tired of this "rewrite it in rust" evangilism and the reputational damage they do…

> It makes me sad that to get these scalability numbers requires some secret sauce on top of spanner, which no body else in the k8s community can benefit from. I'm not so sure. I mean, everyth…

> I see the appeal of K8s in dividing raw, stateful hardware to run multiple parallel workloads, but if you're dealing with stateless cloud VMs, why would you need K8S and its overhead when th…

> I see it differently. That's the name of the game. Language design is always striving toward making it more intelligible, but it is reasonable to expect pros to have command of the language.…

> The gay person would rather not be gay (it would be easier for them), and is told by society that it's a choice. What's striking about those stories is that there were clearly quite a l…

> Pushing everything to types like this creates a different burden where you're casting between types all over the place just to use the same underlying data. TypeScript does not perform any k…

> Typescript's type system is very powerful, but without strict compile-time enforcement you still spend a lot of effort on validating runtime weirdness (that the compiler ought to be able to …

> I thought this would be a great test to show the benefits of TypeScript over plain JavaScript: either it would fail to compile, or the strings would become numbers. You're just stressing tha…

> I have mixed feelings about Typescript, I hate reading code with heavy TS annotations because JS formatters are designed to keep line widths short, so you end up with a confusing mess of line bre…

> For example, I don't ever see anyone using `dynamic` or `object` in C#, but I will often see less skilled developers using `any` and `// @ts-ignore` in TypeScript at every possible…
