Pretty satisfied with the productivity gain and the API docs generation from our OpenAPI file.
I just learned that their API would allow us to programmatically update the guide section as well, so we'll probably move the guides to a public github as well for contributions.
"some users may experience degraded service" => site completely down for all locations
> Caches work great for CSS files, images and javascript - stuff that doesn't chance for each user. It doesn't work as well for the responses to API calls, for which the responses are different for each user, and sometimes, each time
Regarding this, there seems to be some people addressing the issue now (I have fly.io in mind, and maybe Vercel but I believe the latter use lambdas behind the hood so probably less effective).
It's a big alpha WIP a this point and as you say "I don't care if this succeeds" as I know I need it anyway and already use it every day, as well as a bunch of friends. I'm a visual thinker and to me notes in apps like Evernote always end up looking like digital soup. Putting everything on a big 2D map helps me tremendously. So far it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/WkuLENm.png

Very interesting. In addition to micro-services, this could drastically ease the pain of developing workflow orchestration systems.
How do you plan to handle code updates in the context of global state?
I wonder how many of the currently accepted trade-offs are actually false.
At low levels it's kind of easy to prove, like you can store either more or bigger packages in a truck but not both. But the higher you go, the farther from physics, the more difficult it becomes to know if you're making decisions on what is essentially a flaky trade-off.
You're right, they're definitely doing things for the sole purpose of locking you in.
I think they're right on point with this. Law is incredibly complex and you're likely to end up with a very shitty sub-implementation of the law when building a code of conduct, be it in itself or the application & litigation procedure.
"Be nice to each other & follow the local official regulations" should probably be a valid c&c.
