It's the purest form (yet discovered) of McLuhan's Global Village: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeDnPP6ntic

Fittingly, I first learned of this concept on Twitter.
Each of the three digital production agencies I've worked with has the same problem: jobs come and go all the time, often have varied tech stacks (took over a project from a different company, resurrected 5yr old rotting dinosaur, one team prefers Node, another Django, etc), each project requires a dev/staging/live environment (and sometimes more than that, e.g. separate staging for code / content changes), and so on... In one shop we went thru 500 git repos in 4 years.

One day I spun up a k8s cluster on GKE and just started putting all projects there. This cluster enabled huge cost savings (running a fleet of 3 VM's instead of ~50), allowed cheap per-feature dev/staging environments, forced developers to consider horizontal scaling BEFORE we needed to scale (read: when we missed our only shot), and overall reduced ops workload tenfold. It wasn't without a few challenges of its own, but I would never go back.
GM Produced less than 1200 EV1s in the 4 years it was available. Tesla has made more Model 3s in two months than GM ever made EV1s.

Cost estimates for the EV1 range from $80-250k per car, the $250k figure came from Bob Lutz, a GM Vice Chairman.
and 3.

If you ever actually experienced the EV1 then you'd know that it pales in comparison to even the lowest end Leaf. It was a production version of Impact concept from which it was derived with only minor improvements. This was a 1990s quality GM car with a trim level around that of a Cavalier in a package smaller than a Honda Del Sol.

GM introduced the concept of an electric car to the public but the image they portrayed was unfavorable at best. You didn't look at the EV1 and think "this will take over the world", you thought "I could make that in my garage over the weekend."

Tesla gets credit for delivering the first no compromise EV and one that's actually inspirational.

Nissan gets credit for delivering the first EV that just about anyone can own or see themselves drive.
I think the author's point is that even if "premature optimization is the root of all evil" is true, that doesn't mean you write a naive, brute-force solution for every problem.

No, I haven't, and I am sure it is possible to do reliable real-time with those. It looks like all of those are commercial solutions (no open source).

I remember reading a paper about the IBM implementation (I assume that it turned into WebSphere). If I remember correctly, you still need to do some memory management like allocations up front compared to a "normal" Java program. Those guidelines seem a lot like what game programmers in Java end up doing.

I remember in college for a project that a team did a ping-pong playing robot in Java. It worked fine for maybe ~15 seconds then suddenly froze for a GC pause.
Was curious and Googled. Some perspective here: https://warontherocks.com/2015/11/millennium-challenge-the-r...
I think there is a difference between "premature optimization" and putting thought into what you are actually asking the computer to do when you write some code. You aren't hand unrolling loops and rewriting stuff in assembler on the first pass, you're thinking to yourself "doing it this way is going to require n! iterations, but if I restructure my internal data layout I can reduce it to n log n at the cost of only a few megabytes of memory."

The trick here is that you have to understand what each tool is doing before you use it, and that's the opposite of what computer languages are driving towards these days. There is a big push towards abstracting away the actual work, potentially so the compiler can apply optimizations under the hood, but this requires the programmer to either know tons of details about what the compiler does, or to trust it implicitly and hope they don't write code that is grossly inefficient. Or maybe what you do is grossy inefficient, but it can be automatically parallelized well so you don't notice it too much.
Okay, I'll lay on the train tracks:

Just because Chromium does something does not mean the whole web is now more secure. Chrome != / <> the web, no matter how popular it gets to browse.

> This trend does not fit with history either. Standard Oil, US Steel, and Boeing were all iconically huge companies that were built as businesses. None of them went through a phase where they looked like toys.

This is largely because "inventing a new thing" and "building a massive business from that invention" are more closely linked now than they have been, historically. Standard Oil and US Steel postdated the invention of steel and steam engines by centuries. Boeing postdated the Wright Flyer by a few years, and even then mostly got off the ground due to the World Wars. (And the Wrights actually did try and make a business out of their invention, but that's another story.)

The Apple I was a toy computer designed in 1976. The Apple II was a mass-market personal computer designed in 1977 by the designer of the Apple I. There wasn't a World War nor any obvious military applications for the early Apple Computers, and the inventor who designed them (Woz) just happened to be close friends with someone who was just mercenary enough to try and make a business out of it (Jobs).
On the topic of CO2 and doing something about it, I am interested in a good counter point to iron fertilizations and algae blooms.

That's pretty funny right there as Tesla has no marketing budget to speak off. Kindly tell me last time you saw a Tesla ad (made by Tesla)?

Electric cars are as old as ICE cars (look up Baker Electric for one's). That's beside the point. What Tesla did was to produce an electric car that was truly desirable and from many metrics, better than an ICE car. You simply cannot deny Tesla's massive impact on the car industry, even GM have publicly acknowledged it.
That's a middlebrow dismissal. Obviously there are bad processes everywhere (including in industry). The VA is notoriously bad even for FedGov. That does not mean you can evaluate a line of business application based on whether it has version control and package management. To a pretty significant extent, any time an F-500 company procedurally cuts a recurring check, comparatively ancient mainframe code is implicated.

You want to see chaos and calamity? Rewrite all those applications, or even a significant fraction of them, with modern processes. See what happens.
There’s a difference between abstaining from language features and writing things in obtuse ways “because performance,” vs. putting some thought into how the process is going to work and making reasoned choices.
Not bad.

Just wanted to chime in to generally second this opinion, but with one exeception as it relates to hiring.

While I don't think having a cert would help you get hired necessarily, it would probably influence a decision to get an interview. What really matters is if you know how to do real-world operational tasks with the knowledge, which will show up if your technical interviewers know k8s. If you are the first person they are hiring at the company to begin their k8s project, then you might have a real advantage with a cert.

Personally, I've never been one to give undue respect to many of the certs on the basis of having them alone, but it can depend on where you interview. Some places love certs.

I'm on the opposite spectrum. I find that the vast majority of shoes are too wide for me. Merrils, Vibram and their ilk are the only ones that seem to be about right.
Several times I've heard novice programmers cite the "premature optimization" saw as an argument against doing things that weren't optimization at all. Handling edge cases correctly, for example, or throwing exceptions instead of returning incorrect results, or handling two input formats instead of one, or tolerating trailing whitespace on input.

"Optimization" means "making code run faster without changing what it does". If you're changing the code's behavior in an observable way, that's not optimization.

Yes, a good way I've seen of phrasing it is that your opportunity depends on 'luck' and in those lucky situations it also (sometimes) requires the skill to capitalize on it. But your skill to capitalize is highly dependent on your 'lot' which is what you were born into (really just another form of luck.)

I personally don't see the linked article as evangelical - but maybe that's because I'm brainwashed by the message it. But to me a 16 point list doesn't read at all like a silver bullet.
One of my favorite pg ideas: "When something is described as a toy, that means it has everything an idea needs except being important. It's cool; users love it; it just doesn't matter. But if you're living in the future and you build something cool that users love, it may matter more than outsiders think."

Many large tech businesses start out as "toys" because its easier to build a new technology to pursue something trivial than something essential. That's just how development works.

Hobbies will pay more for something that might be a novelty than an improvement in efficiency.

Tesla started with Luxury cars for the same reason, and those cars could be considered "toys" of a certain type.

The next Microsoft or Google could very well be developing a "candy crush" style game in VR right now, because that is the market that pays for experimentation.

I agree with all of this, but none of the points in this post are evangelical, they are just things that should be always considered. You can then evangelize about how to achieve each point. You can follow every one of these (or rather, do the opposite of all of these) and still write awful code.
New Study Finds Cutting Oil Subsidies Will Not Stop Climate Change
Considering how little vacation US workers get, this is disgusting. What a shitty policy at what I imagine can only be a shitty company. I've never heard of such a policy anywhere, except in companies that pretend to offer "unlimited" vacation (obviously no company in the world ever has or ever will offer unlimited vacation). Shitty policy but not any worse than say cutting vacation days in half because people aren't using them quickly enough, pretending to have unlimited vacation that's highly limited, not giving employees any time off whatsoever, suing states to avoid complying with their time off laws, etc. The bottom of the shit barrel for US companies goes so deep, no one knows just how deep.
