Hackernews Search is a better google for cool things I've found on the internet.

not sql, but xsv is awesome: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

reminds me of https://github.com/tj/robo.

Great job on releasing this. I was just thinking about all the scripts in my makefile. Separation of concerns. I’ll be giving it a try.

Vision Master vs Execution Master

Having built a lot of react apps with and without flux/redux, I would say the best part of GraphQL is the simplification of SPAs. Building up the query with fragments and colocating data fetching with the component that need it, is a huge win. If you have lots of micro services or even a few SOA apps, GraphQL is “developer ergonomic” win.

Majority of the latency/bandwidth wins can be achieved with a well architected jsonapi. This should not be your only reason for choosing GraphQL.

At Slalom _build[1], we have People Managers and Team Leads.

Your people manager stays with you as you transition from project to project. They never have more than six direct reports. They are the person that handles all the bureaucracy for you and helping you through the org.

Your team lead is sometimes a people manager but probably not yours. They change based on the project you are on and are responsible for it's success. Their focus is on delivery not your career.

I'm interested in seeing where this goes as it breaks the responsibility up without breaking the career progression. There isn't a "technical path" ... yet.

“The Lessons of History” by Will Durant and Ariel Durant talks about the cyclical nature of history. They talk specifically about the cycles of control and chaos. How our liberties are only possible after a period of control.

His page has been down for years unfortunately. It felt like it was start to again some traction in the ruby community years ago. Uncle Bob talks about in his Lost Years talk. Think that turned into Clean Architecture. Gary Burnhardt refers to it as “imperative shell, functional core”

adding `-pinterest` to your search terms makes it suck less.

Odd that the site does not use the font they are proclaiming is better.

They probably failed due to bad product management.

Hosting your blog using AWS Lambda is over engineering and still not the cheapest solution. Host your static files on S3 or your CMS on Heroku and put Cloudflare in front of it. This solution comes with auto scaling, SSL, and HTTPS and is completely free

What is the direction that Lotus is going in? Seems to have moved to trying to replace rails.

"Of a million MOOC users, the study found that only an average of half of those registered for a course ever viewed an online lecture for that course. And only 4 percent ever completed the course."

I wish I could get 4% of all my visitors to convert!

I think it's only fair to compare Go with a framework with Node.js with a framework. At that comparison, Revel is a little more than twice as fast as Express
