shapiro92··on Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project
Have you ever worked with git? It is obvious the intern has the codebase and the commit history and that is why when he published the new project part of the commit history of replit was on the new project, it is 100% obvious he has copied part of it yes.
shapiro92··on Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project
on a seriously technical point of view. It is obvious the person kept the code repository and when making a new project the commit history (or part of it) moved together. So excluding how the CEO acted, it is obvious the intern has the codebase (or part of it) and I am pretty sure that under their contract they are not allowed to do what they did.

As for the way they approach things, ye the CEO is from YC getting praised from PG on twitter, his Ego is beyond the moon and acts like it, dont expect anything more. Also Replit is INSANELY overvalued as a product.

shapiro92··on We Don’t Use Docker
you can do the same with dotnet.

not using docker has nothing to do with a simple ci/CD solution. having pull requests run tests and then creating releases especially when you have a single binary should be dead easy and a very basic part of your Development life cycle.

I don't use docker in production, but use it heavily on developers machines or to setup infra during QA.

The article doesn't really say anything except "look at me not using docker you haters".

shapiro92··on Meltano: ELT for the DataOps era
okay fair enough. but I guess then it doesn't offer anything extra for us as we have already the ETL Platform self made and we add the process with just an extra file. thanks!
shapiro92··on Meltano: ELT for the DataOps era
before I try yet another ETL tool. How does this work with datasets that do not come from 3rd party providers like salesforce etc? I have had to build ETL pipelines for highly customized datasets either row level based or xml with I would say tricky code as the nesting or flows were not so simple and a lot of data missing.

How would Meltano or the other mention tools handle this?

Example is EDIFACT or FHIR or BDT

shapiro92··on Food delivery startup Wolt raises $530M
They are competing here in Berlin, against DeliveryHero (which bought foodora and other smaller deliveries). They are both the same, except the restaurant coverage. From that I can assume they have a better b2b model. Wolt prices are higher, even though DeliveryHero prices are already higher, including the distance extra payment for me it makes it stupid to order. I understand that the drivers get paid more and it is obvious, but as a consumer to pay 30% more for a delivery, is insane. Back in the day you would get FREE delivery from restaurants and even extras. Being corona lockdown I prefer to walk and get my food.

This is not a judgement against Wolt, but against this whole delivery system.

shapiro92··on An Unlikely Database Migration
I find the article a bit hard to follow. What were the actual requirements? I probably didnt understand all of this, but was the time spent on thinking about this more valuable than using a KV Store?

shapiro92··on Companies fret as costs soar for software subscriptions (2019)
The problem for me is the pricing system. Pay per user per month? No having 100 or 101 users does not add an operational cost user*base fee.
shapiro92··on Follow-up to “The dystopian world of software engineering interviews”
Why the freakishly long post.. Is there any job that doesn't have interview procedures that fail? Isn't half of the system if not more broken? Taxes, education, housing..

Why we engineers whine so much about it?

shapiro92··on Germany Phased Out Nuclear Power and Deadly Emissions Spiked
title of post is missleading and article doesnt do a job describing the status of germany's energy sources.
shapiro92··on Goodbye, Clean Code
there is never a golden rule, "the rule of 3", sometimes experience because you have seen the exact same can trump the rule of 3 and you can abstract it on the first try.

Clean code - duplication, should focus on duplicate code that needs to change at the same time on all X places it is duplicated.

If the code seems similar but actually has NO correlation, then its not duplicate it just works the same.

Definitely an advancement over draw.io however isnt this just mermaid diagrams?
shapiro92··on Show HN: Terrastruct – A Diagramming Tool for Systems
because that indicates that this product has iFrame capabilities just for the graphs therefore you can easily add it to for example Confluence..

Just because you dont understand it doesnt mean you need to be rude.

shapiro92··on France and Germany Agree to Block Facebook's Libra
dude are you for real? Germany is one of the slowest moving countries in terms of innovation (minimum 1 month to setup a business) while maintaining a high level of corruption, Deutsche bank, pharmaceutical companies etc etc. They give no shit about protecting anything but uncontrolled money flowing around without them being able to do anything about it.
shapiro92··on Terminating Service for 8Chan
Very unpopular opinion. The internet should be free for everyone and no provider should have the ability to cut off services. The problem is not the platform but the people, hate the player not the game.
shapiro92··on Plant trees while you search the web
you cannot consume half. (not talking about phones) but if a human needs X food then he cant half it. you can replace with X with half Y and half Z but the logistics is the same.

The issue is overpopulation. You need a specific amount of resources to sustain that number. you cant half it without halfing the population

shapiro92··on Tech Due Diligence Calculator
Personally I have been involved in DD in a startup during the jump from Seed to Series A. They brought in our offices one guy, who really new his shit. He didnt have a checklist however, he started by exploring our processes. How do we create tickets, who are they assigned, coding, prs, deployment. The whole cycle and he saw it in a whole not `do they use one click deployment` because he wanted to actually understand how we work and then judge.

He went pretty deep in code in some cases for example useraccount management and he did find flaws but again no checklist just fixes and improvements.

.9 is by far not an early stage investor. German VCs have a very weird notion about what is early stage.
shapiro92··on Choose Boring Technology
So much this! I mean the author also worked for 7 years at Etsy which did ship quite a lot of new things (bad and good). For me this is similar to telling a 20 year old, dont go out, stay home, watch tv you will less likely get injured.
shapiro92··on Choose Boring Technology
I would not change it no. Let's say you are working on solving world hunger but you have to press 1 button every 24 seconds for 8 hours. Yes the goal is great, but I wouldnt be able to do it for more than a week.

I need to be engaged and active in what I do 40 hours a week in which 40% is taken by the Gov as taxes.

shapiro92··on Choose Boring Technology
by new shiny things in the netflix scope i meant like sidecars not the service itself
shapiro92··on Choose Boring Technology
Such strongly opinionated statements should be taken with caution. In our profession context is key and this theory does not always apply in every context.

Imagine if the Netflix guys were told to stay boring and not invent new shiny things? Ofcourse not everyone is in that scale.

I do not want to use the latest shiny tech but I do not want it to be boring as well. We are confusing KISS and boring here. A company I used to work at was running a job server at 90% utilization all the time and it even worked as a jump box, this is simple and boring but its also plain stupid. Invest some time and make it proper.

Maybe when I am 50 years old I will want a boring setup, but until then no. I want to be engaged and active in what I do.

i would go through a loop of translating the documenting using online translators between X languages. It will create syntax errors but will provide maybe some "hashing"

i am the only one that keeps using sticky notes on windows and google keep? do people take that many notes that they need to invest in such a fancy tool?

shapiro92··on Show HN: Scar – Static websites with HTTPS, a global CDN, and custom domains
This is highly complex for no reason. GitHubPages, Netify provide you with easy to use custom static page hosting.

Your abstraction is nice, but the learning curve for someone is incredibly high for such a setup.
