The primary factor holding back the 65C816 was the required RAM speed. The 65XX processors required RAM almost twice as fast as the same clocked X86 or 68K.

An 8Mhz 65C816 requires 70ns RAM, whereas an 8Mhz 286 or 68K can use 140ns RAM without wait states.

70ns RAM was very expensive until the early 90s, at which point the 65C816 had already missed its window.

I have so many old laptops, hard drives, and other decomissioned IT stuff.
I personally can't stand doing number 2, and I do as little of number 1 as is necessary these days, but that said...

there is a ton of room for number two still. Maybe not in the heart of Silicon Valley, but other major cities—sure. There are a ton of businesses operating using WordPress as their primary platform because it's relatively easy for non-technical or semi-technical users to wrap their heads around.

Here in Toronto there are a lot of thriving WordPress/PHP-stack shops that service those businesses so that they don't have to hire their own web team. I would never want to work with one because I personally really don't like working with that stuff. 100-foot pole sort of situation— but they're there, and they pay okay for the local market.
This pretty much sums up everything. I had a similar problem trying to sell my products. If you're a solo founder learn how to sell first. Finding cool marketing strategies is great, but people need to see real faces before buying your products. It is not always true, but in general that is what I've seen so far.
There are two parts to having a good idea. One is the idea itself, but it's also critical that you have expertise in the domain. My company helps freelance writers and photographers get paid. The CEO was a publisher who had this problem and decided to solve it. He reached out in his circle for a programmer to build it, and he found me. The idea was good enough for me to put time into it, and we had a clear path forward for turning it into a business. My point is that if you have domain knowledge and a genuinely good idea, you'll have no trouble finding co-founders.
If you run --help you already have the path to the executable. Press the up arrow and you got it, even on nix.
> The incumbents are building it right, but slow. And I would much prefer that approach if it leads to increased safety

Wait, are you serious? But I mean, I thought the whole point of driving a car in the first place was that you could "move fast and break things!" So, clearly Silicon Valley has the most appealing approach!
That's weird. For me it's the other way around. I can't remember things if I can't put them in the map. Watching places of my hometown in local TV, I have a bad time identifying them, even if they're very familiar, because I see them "out of context".
What is your definition of "bloated"?
I’ve never understood the debate between mono and multi repos. With the right tooling, the line seems to vanish and you just have folders anyway.

Each repo may have their own policies and permissions, which is the biggest reason I see to keep them separate, but again the distinction still seems little more than a folder.

Am I missing something?

This, THIS! Many web devs do a bit of this starting out and that's fine... just don't try to make it into something more, not only because it's worthless and the clients will drive you nuts by chasing them for petty bills but because you will also get bored out of your mind. Get involved in, or start a more significant project as soon as possible (Even FOSS for no money is better for your experience than wasting more time on these).

I don't think it's directly comparable.

There's a difference, and not insignificant, between "learning everything for CS degree" vs "learning what you need to get hired as a web dev".

But I'll agree that 6 months is not that much time in the "learn new career skills and find a job" timeline. I spent around 18 months of nights/weekend practice and learning, followed by 3 months of interview prep before I found a job and that was with a big spoonful of luck.

To OP - this is a marathon, not a sprint. Get used to learning things on your own, you will be doing it for the rest of your career if you make the switch.

Congrats to that team for building a great product. I hope they see a lot of success. Long term, I hope plant based meat alternatives become commoditized. If there are a bunch of alternatives that taste just as good and importantly are cheaper than meat, most people will switch. That's a huge win for the environment (and also animal rights), and I can't wait to see it happen.
Every time I switch to a new area I try this, and every time it causes me great frustration.

Learning materials arent setup to this, (and possibly brains). You have to learn enough fundamentals (usually via rote) before you can get overarching themes.

At my newest job I am trying to soak in the fundamentals as opposed to rote practicing them before putting any conscious effort at understanding them, but it is too soon to say if it is working. My stress level is dramatically down though.

Well in one sense "managers capitalism" isn't capitalism at all. It's the principal-agent problem in the extreme. The basic point of capitalism is to distribute power and decision making as much as possible. That's called a market. Those who argue that Google has the better strategy don't really understand the ethics of business and its role in society. Sure, if you're trying to "win the game" be more like Google. If you're trying to make capitalism proud, be Apple. Probably a socialist anyway!

This can't really be discussed without also clarifying how your target language and tools ecosystem does package management. i.e. are you expecting to generate and version internal packages and then consume them from a feed?

It seems like, if you don't have this facility then the monorepo becomes more compelling.

Not to mention, are you building 1 or 2 apps, or a whole host of microservices.

Without knowing that, your experience of mono vs. multi-repos won't be much use.

(this is hard to answer well, without knowing your background or the nature of your idea)

I'd recommend starting to develop the idea. If you are non-technical, then begin speaking to potential users and customers, and building relationships i.e. do business development.

If you are technical, it doesn't matter, do the above too. You can also take part of your time to actually begin prototyping a v1 of your product. But remember, your goal is to start a company, not a cool technical demo, so prioritize business development.

Once you have done this, congrats, you have some real momentum on your idea and have either gotten validation from real users and customers or know what needs to be changed and improved. You are now in a stronger position to start talking to people. Its much easier to attract people to your startup if you can demonstrate your idea has some traction.

> not because they are inherently easier to understand

I'm honestly not sure that that's true. I would bet money that someone who primarily works in Lisp would still have an easier time sitting down and reading Python code than someone who works in Python sitting down and reading Lisp, because I think it might truly be inherently easier to understand.

There is intrinsic meaning in:

x = 5
let x = 5

etc., insofar as these translate character for character, word for word, into human language, whereas this simply doesn't:

Merging/integrating code & styles is difficult and error prone. At the end of the day, if two systems interact they will need to be "merged" at some point. It seems to make more sense to handle this in tests/at a source code level then risk doing it in the runtime environment alone.

I think tooling and granular permissions (still part of tooling) can be blockers, though. It makes less sense outside an enterprise/company perspective such as developing a discrete component that gets pushed to a public repo (Maven, pypi, npm, etc)
> as they can do that themselves for free with an online website builder, so the value add from a good dev is minimal.

And on the opposite side, it is quite easy to start a business of creating websites using those tools with minimum knowledge. I know a few people who started from that and eventually moved to more complex projects.

The arguments against circle around unnecessary coupling.

The arguments for revolve around necessary coupling. If a change triggers a change in multiple repos, it is easier to review those changes for completeness and administer them (commits/rollbacks to the code) in sync if the are in the same repo.

My own jury is still out as to which argument is more valid, I don't have enough experience with mono repos yet.

Security vulnerabilities tend to be pretty binary. Either the vulnerability is there and it's exploitable, or it isn't. And once there's a fix, deploying that fix will permanently solve that problem.

Fighting abuse is different. The abusers are using the same request endpoints that the real users are, but just in a way that the service provider doesn't approve of. (Whether it's sending spam, payment fraud, scraping, or something else). There's no single hole to plug, unless you block all the requests outright which also affects real users. Instead you have to classify the incoming traffic, find out the abusive subset, and then act on it appropriately. But unlike with vulnerabilities this doesn't solve the problem permanently.

The moment attackers find out which signals are used by a site, they can start faking them or working around the signals. As a simple example, early email spam classifiers worked by simple matching against a blacklist of highly spammy terms. So the spam adapted to using creative mis-spellings like "v1agra".

When you think of monorepo, think of 1000 daily engineers and upward of 10,000 commits per day in the repo.

Think of running a company the size of google or Facebook off of a single repository.

Of course you can have monorepo at small scales. However, it is at the larger scales where differences become apparent and trade-offs become non-trivial.
Sure, but what happens when your company gets big enough to have backend systems/projects/tools in multiple languages?

I've seen this at countless companies, and in my experience it gets ugly fast. You can either shoehorn all schema changes into Django (for example) even for non-Python projects, or you can have different processes for each language, but either way that's a losing proposition vs having a unified, language-agnostic tool.

The migration systems built into frameworks like Django and Rails are truly great for rapid development, but they can become a quite a burden later on.

So this is converting education funding from "debt" to "equity", by demanding a chunk of the salary of its graduates.

It's not completely unheard of; airline pilots often have a similar this arrangement because their training is so expensive. However this is the dark side of a "human capital" approach - the educational capital exists in one person's head, but the return on capital is partly owned by someone else.

It does however share risk back to the educational institution, which has become a problem of people being left stranded by imcomplete courses or worthless degree-mills.

> Critics of such programs have argued they are a form of indentured servitude. The percentage of income that Lambda takes — 17 percent — is high, and has even been described as predatory.

Telling fat people to eat less is a bit different from cutting off disability to anyone who is obese, which was the suggestion.

>Even genuine starvation is not fatal for fat people, assuming they consume a few vitamins and essential nutrients that are very easily obtainable.

Starvation diets for weight loss are rare, but even among the few well documented, managed examples there have been multiple deaths. You're not correct here. A 27 year old in otherwise good health, supervised by doctors might be OK. A 55 year old with heart disease that's bad enough to qualify for disability probably won't be.

> I'm not advocating starvation diets, merely responding in kind to the ludicrous suggestion that not subsidizing obesity is tantamount to forced starvation.

How about you say what you mean then instead of arguing that starvation diets can't kill people?

This. There is a term for failing to look where you want to go, the result of which is going where you are looking: target fixation. It's a frequent cause of motorcycle crashes, and I see it quite a bit at the track. A rider gets scared, and starts to look at something off track - the grass, a rock, etc. Panic sets in, they are unable to avert their gaze and are drawn, as if by magnetism, into the very thing they would most like to avoid.

Another variation of "look where you want to go" is "look through the crash". If a couple of people get tangled up in front of you, don't watch the crash! You'll likely join it. Look through the crash, to where you want to go.
You change your country on their site and then look at tuition/programs or ask their admissions. For example Scotland residents pay much less or there's IGNOU which does online math degrees for 10k rupees a year (I actually tried to get in there, but my country refused, the materials are still pretty good/rigorous). No idea the accreditation for IGNOU but OU Uk with regional means can apply to US grad schools like that Georgia Tech online MSc for compsci.

In my case, I'm struggling to find good tooling to support monorepos. We're running a microservice architecture, but our CI is triggered by GitHub web hooks. Currently we're either doing a full build of everything on each webhook event or we're doing some error-prone git-diffing to try to make sure we're only rebuilding when necessary. I've looked at tools like Buck and Bazel, but they seem really heavy for our ~30 person engineering team and they also seem to have odd ways of doing things (no support for pulling from a package repository, vendoring is assumed to be vendored--which incidentally the author of this blog post characterizes as a Bad Thing). Folks who are using monorepos successfully--what tooling do you use to solve these problems?
How so? The products they make are different, but at the end of the day they are both industries living in the capitalist society we've created, driven by the same incentives, and largely operating by similar principles. How is it morally acceptable for a tech company to make huge margins and yet morally reprehensible for a pharma company to make margins that are smaller?
> Someone had told me about it in 2015, I took a quick glance and passed thinking "Looks like a scam." Then 2017 happened and the joke was on me. Then 2018 happened and the joke was on them again.

Pretty sure the joke is still on you when comparing to someone that told you about it in 2015.

The highest price for ETH in 2015 was $2.19, lowest in 2018 was $85. So even with the worst possible entry/exit in those years we're still talking about a 3881% ROI in 3 years. Again, that's the WORST possible ROI for entering in 2015 and leaving in 2018.
I agree tooling can resolve much of the difference. I think the tooling for monorepos as currently more advanced although it tends to be company specific. At GitLab we're working on a feature to group merge requests so people can get closer to an atomic commit across repos. This will help the multi repo users.
I have a simple question: are monorepos possible in git? What is the upper limit of contributions per day for git to be effective in a monorepo?

I think the variable here is you, rather than the industry. Focus on being beyond mediocre and build up a small but well-executed portfolio and you will (almost) never have to look for a job again.

I know it's anecdotal but here is my story: I'm used to hearing that my friends are looking for work, and some tell me about how many applications they have sent out.

I went on to LinkedIn and ticked the checkbox that says I'm available for hiring, and I got a bunch of recruiters asking for a chance to speak with me. I'm now going to a new job where I'll earn what a typical senior exec earns in my country.

Tell me that's not powerful.
