who needs expensive and hard to obtain truth serum when all you need is alcohol...

since google does chrome os, microsoft should simply ban all google products from their platform altogether as a direct cmopetitor :D :D :D

I'd love to see them fight it out.

when you hit scaling issues with standard postgres. cdb has the same wire format so no code change would be needed. for mysql alternative, there is tidb but that one is not a single binary so i never used it.

a) hire a lawyer, what do you want us to do about it??? b) in the modern era of internet, next time embed some type of homing mechanism or simple license requirement checked in startup process to avoid unlicensed misuse.

next time try cockroachdb instead of postgres.

that's like saying that it is time for a dead patient to take his medicine.

working full-time is retarded. its just way too much. working full-time remotely is beyond retarded. i cannot comprehend anybody that does that. i do work remotely but no way in hell i would take a full-time 8-hour-day job. no amount of money would make me do that.

eh no. that was like 2 years ago not decades.

i loved the dailies. it was the best way to earn money without doing any work. i always tried to prolong the meetings as much as possible. ah, i miss those days.

"I develop software, and just want to get things done" - exactly why i am a continuous windows user since win95(ie. ever). linux and (free)bsd always interested me but they were always impractical and eventually only a time wasters.

100% agree. the difference comes from the fact that you are either a programmer or a businessman. a programmer strives for perfection, a businessman for functionality. i am trying to transition from the former to the latter but it is really hard to "get it" and "let go" of some things.

i wanted to do the same not that long ago but i abondoned that idea when i could not find UI library i would like to work with and i was not looking to make a cli application.

99,99% new people that come to event sourcing and 9/10 of those who have been in the event sorucing already, make the huge mystake of taking event store concepts from other people that took it from other people and in the end that is where everyone fails. even big names like greg and his praised "eventstore" project. if you are new to ES, great, you have no baggage. do not read any technicalities about the event store or try to use any existing library for it(the underlying storage engine does not matter, mysql, postgres, rocks...). come up with your own solution and you will have zero ES problems. why? well, the entire concept of event store that is being flown out there is completely flawed and if you implement it, it will cost you a lot of money and time to unfuck yourself later on.

the custom search engines and the banning of dissenter extension is why i am still on chrome. ff failed me on technical and personal level with these. at least with chrome/google ... the devil you know.

all those points sound more like quickfixes for bad architecture design. I've been there, done that.. and i've learnt from it. instead of fixing the initial problem, you are just throwing more code and complexity over it. which costs you money and time. i think you made a BIG mistake byt going polyglot and not sticking to single a language which now prevents you from merging the code into a single binary in cost-efficient way.

if you decide to go with the single binary approach, i am curious to see if you decide to go with Go or Rust :)

just fyi: cdb went with Go but their storage layer ended up being rewritten with C, so they too are not much different from you, with the exception of being able to run a single binary via Cgo which you cannot do with Rust.

Pingcap is loosing hundreds and thousands of potential customers and millions of dollars by not having a single-binary product. The current setup is over-complicated and confusing and I would not touch it with a 10ft pole, as they say. That's why it's worth rewriting the app from mysql syntax to postgre syntax and use cockroachdb more than spending dev, ops, cloud* hours on making legacy code work with this thing. But they'll never learn. It's not like this thing came out just yesterday. I have been keeping my eye on this since it came out and I think it is maybe even superior product to cdb and possibly the best in the category, but again, i am getting head-ache just looking at the setup docs.

"I usually take 3-4 tries with some significant amount of testing to get my code to a working state."

..this is a "code" smell to me. if you are jr, then ok, otherwise you got some serious problems nad put your focus in the wrong places.

anyhow, one advice i can give you, or anybody else, is - when you're doing it right, it just flows. when you're banging your head against a wall, you took a bad turn in your decisionamking process a while back and need to retract your steps. this one usually can save you from writing about 80% of useless code. when you are bored and are not looking forward to write something, you are on the right track. if you feel creative and full of energy, you are thinking on your feet and have no idea where it will lead you. sure, this is the best part of coding, the creativity, but not in the business world. that is for your personal projects. boring is good. be creative in preparation, not once you're already undertaking a task.

that is true. people overcomplicate things. but i went the other way, because the number of articles about how people get rest wrong is staggering, so all my api calls are post requests no matther what. what matters is the rpc method being invoked and i truly don't care if someone cannot use plain web browser to perform requests. thats what documentation and api client is for. i have spoken. this is the way.

I know the situation. I haven't got to the production stage yet but I totally get it. Beside using Kubernetes, Nomad or some other scheduler, you will always have to invest your own time to resolve issues manually. You could have triggers that would invoke ansible playbooks if you don't want to handle any of the aforementioned but in the end the type of business simply requires maintenance - there is no way around that. A real human being has to be keeping an eye on the entire architecture and make sure it is running as it is supposed to.
