Care to shed some more light?

After Heroku pulled their stunt in India when RBI changed some credit card rules, Heroku is pretty much history for me. They screwed small customers got rid of them saying they can't charge credit cards with new regulations. However they continued to entertain large customers from India.

Never recommending them to anyone anymore

Curious, how do you measure the time taken for those 4 steps listed in "What takes so long?" section?

With importmaps (https://github.com/rails/importmap-rails) and Hotwire (https://hotwired.dev/), you write plain js and serve it.

Also packages are served via CDN. There is no tree shaking. Rails got rid of the whole bundling step.

Bravo!

Can you please share the list? I'm curious

This. Most of the developer teams are nothing but feature factories. There will be a point where what developers want to build and what the product needs will diverge. It is very hard to strike a balance IMO.

I never understood these layoffs. Don't the management team see it coming and plan it? Seems like a knee jerk reaction which affects people. Sad to see them ruining Christmas

Downvote mfs.

The way ATS is growing, I no more know what a resume should contain. Are there any ATS standards?

It is very common here in Gujarat, India. Most of them are employed and live in a joint family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Gujarat

One thing that has really helped me understand git better is DAG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph). Whenever I do `git add <file/folder>`, it is somewhat easier to imagine how new blobs are created and how they are linked.

For beginners it is a fun exercise to understand why empty folders can't be added to git.

Not sure why am I getting down voted for posting an observation :shrug:

When more and more parts of FF are written in rust, I thought FF will get a lot faster. But for the past 1 year, I can only see marginal improvements w.r.t speed. And occasionally FF hangs when I have 20 tabs opened.

On the contrary, when they fail silently, it is hard debug "dependent" services

This. Anyone who has done enough ops knows that a platform (Vercel, Heroku, Netlify etc) which lets devs connect a git repo with a couple of clicks, and deploys automatically happen is a good devops experience.

This is great for personal projects. This is great for budding projects in a professional setup as well.

Those ceramic jars are some of the beautiful creations on earth

XCode is refusing to install. Fails with some error, and asks me to download XCode again. Also now the system needs 70-80 GB of free space to install XCode. One of the funny upgrades so far

True that. Mutton biryani is love \../

It all boils down to energy and exposure to current trends.

Older people tend to hang on to the past, so they are less "innovative" as per the current trends. For eg: For the love of God, I can never understand TikTok and why it is famous. There are a slew of new emojis which I don't understand. Sometimes, I feel that these are important to understand while coming up with ideas to stay relevant.

The current state of GA is much better than Jenkins. I don't like yaml, but this is still better than mucking around Jenkins configs. Fin

What is the hardware spec here?

Sometimes, CD depends on CI. I trigger CD only when CI succeeds. Kargo looks confusing, but I have to dig deeper

Is this tool similar to https://dagger.io/?

Agreed

Moderated ones are just a bit better

This has been my experience as well. If I use proton mail, I always have to provide a phone number. This is a new norm, be it IG, Twitter, etc.

Even if you are technical enough, you might still need a GUI to avoid any surprises. Also the end user of this tool is not tech people, but content managers

Wrong abstractions make the abstraction configurable, and it is a slippery slope. Keep adding more arguments, configuration options, and there is no end to it. Sometimes duplication is indeed cheaper

> do you really need both Android and iOS? Can't you just start with one?

This approach makes sense to me. Start with one, and then build the other one. Thanks palata!
