Ironic. Correctness is indeed a curse on the few.

> there are actually lots of people who think that ORMs were a mistake and lots of people who think that using them is always a no-brainer.

This doesn’t mean that both groups are right though.

Yes, until performance prohibits. But that’s usually in the billions of records or more.

Ah, the quantum ROI, where we affect the return by attempting to measure it.

Well good news then! This seems to be the current strategy.

Fair position given the failure of crypto to live up to the revolutionary hype.

This is clearly different. The value has been demonstrated - and it has clear implications for a lot of jobs.

The thing about free time is we’re all free to choose how to spend it.

There seems to be a sad irony of discrimination in this.

It’s cute, but not a very practical philosophy though. Most valued resources are physically finite. Who decides how beachfront properties are allocated? Who decides who should clean the toilets?

> demand remains static,

How can this be an assumption? Of course demand will respond to price.

Because demand isn’t the same. Changing the price affects the demand.

Hmmm.. that’s not how supply vs demand works though

It’s probably best you avoid using Kubernetes in production for a long while. At the very least until you understand why your comment is being so heavily downvoted.

It’s the fact that they are complicated which warrants manual configuration. If the org can’t write the configuration, how will they support it when something goes wrong? It’s a problem waiting to happen.

> It’s perplexing to me that they were then able to so easily raise hundreds of millions of dollars to buy competitors

Building things is definitely hard work! It sure is a lot easier to just know the right people, but you also should have the right skills and insight to identify the opportunities.

Everyone knows that’s how starfish get around

Are we living on the same planet? "a day"? "$500/hour"?

It just doesn’t match the reality of market forces and it’s obvious.

It’s kinda funny everyone here arguing they should be paid the same regardless of location - but then complaining when the reality of that wish is not what they’d imagined.

This is the “eat it too” aspect which a lot of other threads here seem to be ignoring.

Why? Because that’s how basic market forces work.

No.

This is too simplistic. All systems of government are not equal. It’s disingenuous to claim otherwise.

Yes, but that a risk they accepted.

I’m confused.. why would we expect some other image processing software to be better than Photoshop - a software package which has been the top of its class for ~30 years?

Mostly, it doesn’t even seem to matter whether you agree or not. Inevitably you end up receiving affiliate emails regardless.

> I'm not sure you have much experience working on websites.

I might say the same about you. Be respectful.

Usually because most business say they need highly available, scalable infra from day 1.

Still enough for 99% of websites.

Python is one of those languages where everything starts to look like a nail.

This is the correct answer. Putting all integration changes in a single PR improves CI test coverage and is easier to verify in a code review.
