Good point. Thanks for the feedback. Our sites don't get a huge amount of traffic, so it's possible Spring doesn't have as good a concurrency story (or it's due to memory usage) as the higher-ranked frameworks, so it's been sufficient for our needs.

I've met a large number of great craftsmen who I would rate trustworthy and who are driven first by craftsmanship and for whom self-interest is a secondary interest.

I'm privileged to work at a great shop with some 20 other people for whom profit is just a small part of the goal. We call fiscal health "oxygen": It's something we need, but if it's present it should be allowed to fade from the forefront of our minds, instead focusing on more rewarding targets.

This works great when you're working with a small number of people, and when the company is driven by and owned by a very small, close-knit group of people - ideally, you can count them on one hand. This allows non-fiscal values to be communicated. Unfortunately, communication is difficult among large groups, and the easiest and most common means of communicating values is in dollars.

I'm not sure that a $7.5B company can maintain this idealism. "Behemoths" are going to be present whenever you have economies of scale, and post-industrial-revolution we don't have craftsmen who are butchers, we have vertically integrated behemoth butchers with million-dollar tractors growing the grain that rolls in on conveyors to feed the cows that are butchered and packaged by automated machines, so each package of beef has less hands-on time than it takes the craftsman to wrap the finished product in paper and twine. The craftsman is going to be relegated to the edges of that industry.
There are few hidden aspects that are in my opinion affecting the Indian IT eco system. Everybody talks about automation making the jobs redundant, I think there are more factors affecting it.

I remember back when I graduated, only options I had was to work for these outsourcing companies. That is no longer true. India has a rich ecosystem of startups that definitely pay better than the outsourcing companies. I often compare the indian IT eco system to multi-level marketing, where older generation of employees would recruit newer generation to keep the costs low. Now, with rich startup ecosystem, talented younger generation have become expensive and scarce for these outsourcing companies.

Secondly, most of these outsourcing company's ethics and principle were derived from IBM, which led to creation of long chain of hierarchical management. I remember when I worked in one of these companies, an approval of procuring a server (not the server itself) would take months. There would be unwarranted politics. Lot of these manager are essentially skill-less. This has led to a problem where attracting talent to these organisation is very difficult. Furthermore, to keep the costs low, these outsourcing companies would go to third tier colleges and cities. Talent from colleges and universities are basically unemployable, resulting in a poor client experience.

Thirdly, major clients have started realizing the cost of outsourcing and benefits of owning your own technology. In my opinion, these outsourcing companies were basically sweatshops masqueraded as technology companies. Attrition rate in outsourcing companies are really high. If these outsourcing companies would have controlled the attrition rates and built technology products, these companies would have been relevant. Before the financial crisis, these companies did have resources and talent to do so. Companies like TCS did try to build their products and did get sued [1]. However, you would be suprised how many banks use their banking product [2].

Having said that, most of the outsourcing companies have very cash rich. I wouldn't be surprise if they start acquire smaller product companies to stay relevant.

This is a performance monitoring software package developed by Intel (who are calling this "telemetry") – since 2015 as far as I know. I have taken a look at it and like it. It's very modular (there are collectors, processors and publishers of metrics) and can also serve as an example of a medium-sized well-written Go project that handles external dependencies with Glide, logs with Logrus and enables cross-language plugins with gRPC.

Strangely everyone working on the project seems to have stopped doing this somewhere around Nov/Dec 2017 (although one of the core developers just replied to an issue of the same topic that the "framework is stable" https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap/issues/1759). I would be a shame to see the project die, so go use it, star it or contribute plugins. There's good documentation and many examples on how to do this and it's also an opportunity to learn Go and gRPC :)

The best resource to answer your questions is the Requirements for the various test types [1]. But in brief:

* Yes, Fortunes is named after the Unix tool of the same name. In our case, it's a test that executes a query of all rows in a table, adds an additional item, sorts the values in the application code, escapes the values as a XSS countermeasure, and then renders them using a server-side templating library.

* Yes, the single-query test is always executing a single-query per HTTP request and is measured at various concurrency levels. The multi-query test is measured with consistent concurrency and varies the number of queries executed per HTTP request.

> Assuming that the caffeine makes it into the bloodstream at the same rate?

That's a big if. Others have listed a few factors to consider, another example is Guaraná powder which contains a lot of fiber, thereby slowing the caffeine intake.
For Rust, I'm interested to see what the future holds once the community coalesces around an async IO interface. Additionally, when procedural macros stabilizes (for real), the possibilities for ergonomic frameworks in Rust become endless.

Rocket has been really interesting to work with, but it only works on nightly since it relies on experimental codegen/procedural macro features. Once procedural macros stabilizes, all the codegen can be ported to that. It doesn't support async IO yet, but that's because it's waiting for the community to coalesce before diving into it.

I think there's a future where Rust web frameworks are as expressive as Rails or Laravel but bring type safety and sound, zero cost abstractions to the table.

A side effect of this is that the "pure" olive oil is much more stable and has a higher smoke point. Wikipedia lists "Extra Virgin" at 160C and "Refined" up to 243C. So if you're trying to create a non-stick surface on something, pure olive oil is better than virgin olive oil.
It is interesting to watch the latency numbers from the table(in a separate tab). I suppose latency is more important to most users than the peak throughput, considering that production applications almost never hit peak throughput and are often supplied with extra hardware before utilisation gets there.
Looks like the people who left Google you know were not hired into Google proper. What you describe sounds like they were working for a vendor providing QA services to Google. Sure your friends were probably walking into Google office with a Google ID card but being on Google payroll is a completely different thing from being on a vendor payroll.

Every company has core teams and non-core teams. Why do you present the non-core teams' work as representative of the company as a whole and not the core team's work as representative of the company as a whole?

Your comparison of Amazon with Infosys is ridiculous. The high attrition rate of Amazon has nothing to do with the quality of work. It is due to the culture - long working hours and the demanding work culture. But the work in Amazon is at least two orders of magnitude better than what you get in Infosys.

Which FANG companies have you worked for? You might throw one of the names from FANG at me but I cannot believe you. I know I am a stranger on internet and so are you, so it is just going to be my word against yours and a lot of anecdata from both sides. But per the anecdata I have, I see that your comments here are so misinformed that I do not believe you have worked for any FANG company.
> The Dart leads prioritized (1) over (2). The idea was that the VM would be so great users would flock to it giving us (2).

This is actually why I, as a developer, decided not to use Dart: because it would give Chrome a competitive advantage and more control over the other browsers. Chrome has enough advantages as it is, and I like having competition in the browser market.

They don't pay us to socialise, and I can count the number of times on my middle finger of how many people who at the offices I've worked at I'd want to spend my free time with.

Strangely, now that I'm working remotely, I actually do socialise with my colleagues when we meet every 3 months, and enjoy it.

Apart from that, I'm around people who I enjoy being with instead of staring the clock or the rear of a car. And I have more social energy to do so.

Yes, I think so to. I was referring to the light phone as the gadget. Setting up a smartphone with all features that you consider valuable and disabling everything else just seems more worthwhile if the goal is to get away from distracting phone (or gadget) use.
Y Combinator shadow-bans users and “incorrect” links
Yep I feel the same about Elixir and Phoenix. It's way down but again, the "way down" is 20k requests per second. Not too shabby. The biggest project I've worked on had 50 requests per second, and that was an E-Commerce site that brought in 9 figures a year in revenue.

I'm sure IoT workflows are mainly where you start to see these more insane RPS numbers. But still, this just tells me there's so much great choice out there for pretty much any platform you want to stick with.

I'd love to see another metric that normalizes between Cloud and Physical, like $ per request. We don't know how much the cloud server cost vs the physical, do we? I mean it's a 10x difference in performance, is it a 10x difference in price?

Update: Azure D2v3 instances (used for the cloud benchmark) are about $55 a month. ($660 a year).

Just the Xeon in the physical costs $1,500. The full server probably costs $5k? So assuming a server has a life of 3 years, you're looking at the Azure instance being $1,980, the Dell being maybe $5k? So it's about 10x performance for 3x the price.

Someone please fix my math and fill in the gaps :)
I am so confused.

I'm sitting at my desk with my noise-cancelling headphones doing a mediocre job of blocking the 20-minute "standup" happening next to me in our open office. I'm going to be transitioning to a remote position soon, and can't wait.

Saying "yes" to everything, as has been explained above, has more to do with different cultural definitions of "yes" than lying.

Banana phone runs Kai OS, which is not supported by Spotify.

However, there are people requesting it: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Simplified-versi... and https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-e....

So the answer to your question is "no", but it might.

FYI, I am not interested in this phone and it took me 30 seconds of searching the Internet to find this info. It took me longer to write this comment. It really doesn't seem like you've put in an effort of searching for such info.
It's about as awesome as getting stabbed in the eye with a white-hot fork.
At risk of sounding hypocritical, I have done the same in my firm (https://osrec.co.uk). I took Indian grads straight out of uni and trained them to western development standards. They basically have to become good, or their pull requests never get merged into our core code bases. They soon understand the level of quality that is required, because, to their credit, they are genuinely keen to contribute. My issue is more with the big firms, where quality is not regarded highly (or at all), and they infuse that attitude across the Indian tech scene.
This is nice, but I would never put a piece of code on my property that breaks the user experience (after a few seconds) when a third party service is offline. It's even worse because it causes a highly correlated failure vector across all my products. Imagine your servers going down (for whatever reason) and _all_ my customers calling me because their websites are broken.

Additionally, defaulting to shutting down the app when it can't reach your servers breaks all sorts of offline features an app may have.

I would strongly suggest to default to doing nothing when the script can't contact your servers. Alternatively you let me configure an HTTP endpoint that will be pinged when it can't reach you so at least I am aware the service is disrupted.
also agree, would not go back. TypeScript is savage
Nothing wrong with that, we are all different. I think its just important to talk about the drawbacks, especially in the software industry where coffee often is seen as some sort of fuel to do great things, while it may be the cause for all sorts of meltdowns.

For many, a ringing phone is much more disruptive than an email notification.

Picking up a phone for voice calls is synchronous.

Responding to an email is asynchronous.

(The asynchronous advantage is probably why SMS texting & WhatsApp/FB messaging has overtaken voice calls.)

I had a friend that didn't use email and always called my phone. Whenever I shut off the ringer, he'd eventually send me an email. But the content of that email was always, "Hey I got no answer on your phone. Give me a call."

Argh!!! Why can't you just put your question directly into the email?!? My behavior of not answering his phone calls failed to "train" him to switch to the email mode of communication. It drove me crazy. I finally realized that some people in this world have brains that work better with voice calls. Unfortunately, that's incompatible with the way I like to work.
Yep, the classic one being adderall but you need a prescription for that unfortunately.
It depends. I was working on a websockets based game using node.js on the backend and React, redux & canvas on the front end. As my game grew, more and more code went into the /shared/ folder. It's extremely useful to be able to mirror the game logic that's run on the server for security in the front end for convenience and performance (avoid waiting for round trips for everything).

For example, I had a standard RPG style combat system. Being able to share all of the code that does calculations for combat allows you to put those calculations into the UI as much as you want.

I think standard CRUD web apps are different because there's much more asymmetry in the responsibilities of the back end and front end.
Good stuff! I wish there was some good in-depth and well explained article on how to write or hook up your own controller. I mean, there is the official doc for this but it's not really a hands-on IMHO.
