mitsoz··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
How is this any helpful? Are they supposed to implement everything in terraform or similar, is that your suggestion? Why don't you completely remove the editable UI then, if whoever is using it is doing it wrong. What a typical arrogant and out of touch with customers Google response.
mitsoz··on Notes on debugging Clojure code

  When it comes to debugging, I'm firmly in the printf camp; I rarely prefer debuggers over printf-based debugging
I'm struggling to understand this. Why would you ever prefer printf debugging in your local dev environment over using a debugger?
mitsoz··on Kotlin Is Better
Well, he/she isn't saying anything about smalltalk, but talking about python. Are you sure these two pose the same problems when it comes to automated refactoring? Apart from just lack of static typing, these languages could be miles apart when it comes to how dynamic they are and what problems this poses to automated refactoring. For example, the fact that attribute access in python can be delegated to a function that will receive the attribute name as an argument and decide whether that object has this attribute or not and what it is, or the fact that you can dynamically generate a new class whose attribute names and implementation come from outside as function arguments. How would you deal with automating the renaming of such an attribute when it is defined and used across wildly varying circumstances. I have no idea if smalltalk can do this, or even if my examples are good examples of showcasing the automated refactoring problem, but just raising a point.

This is as useful as

  * Write down the problem.
  * ???
  * Profit
mitsoz··on Getting Started with Graph Databases
I was very interested in the subject, but hated this video.

Very superficial, started off with a complicated relational schema to criticize relational databases, but never ended up explaining how a graph database would simplify the problem. I thought that the graph database concepts + language was way more complex than SQL schema + language.

Very fast talking and moving of slides, is this supposed to sound or look smart? On top of that, 50% of the time the video was a close up to the presenter's face moving left and right in an awkward fashion.

mitsoz··on Object Oriented Programming Oversold (2001)
The article is pretty bad.
mitsoz··on Programming from the Ground Up
"First of all, I want to thank the members of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church in Champaign, Illinois for everything that you have done to help me and my family in our times of crisis. It's been a long time since I've seen or heard from any of you, but I think about you always. You have been such a blessing to me, my wife, and Daniel, and I could never thank you enough for showing us Christ's love when we needed it most. I thank God every time I think of you - I thank Him for bringing you all to us in our deepest times of need. Even out in the middle of Illinois with no friends of family, God showed that He was still watching after us. Thank you for being His hands on Earth. Specifically, I'd like to thank Joe and Rhonda, Pam and Dell, and Herschel and Vicki. There were many, many others, too - so many people helped us that it would be impossible to list them all."

Thanks but no thanks. I prefer sanity.
