  • You can’t really host your own AWS, You can self-host various amalgamations of services that imitate some of the features of AWS, but you can’t really self-host your own AWS by any stretch of the imagination.

    And if you’re thinking with something like localstack, that’s not what it’s for, and it has huge gaps that make it unfit for live deployment (It is after all meant for test and local environments)







  • Oh, you get the benefit of explicit scanning?

    We get the beauty of every file that’s modified being scanned before the write “completes”. It’s an absolute joy starting a build and watching ~80% of the available compute be consumed by antivirus software.

    Or, you know, normal filesystem caching as part of your tool’s workflow.

    Or dependency installing and unpacking…

    Or anything actually that touches a lot of files.



  • Either you don’t get it or you’re being intentionally obtuse.

    Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.

    As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms, forms

    I’m guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society’s in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.






  • I mean, that could be extreme, or really not that bad.

    Refactors have a way of generating a lot of changes. Half our job is code review, kind of have to get over it and go read some code.

    If someone put the effort in to write it, it’s your responsibility to put the effort in to read it and review it.

    If the style is difficult to read and non-standard for your repository or not. Conventional then your repository and your engineering team should be following set standards to ensure consistency.

    If you’re doing this then most PRS shouldn’t be that difficult to review.

    I say this, spending a decent part of my week reviewing something like 40+ PRs.
