Ok, so it was software released with it’s first implementation written in node.

And now have “Apollo”, which is a server that runs inside a v8 engine(node).

It seems to me that the javascript crowd are the ones pushing this forward and seems to me that it was written with javascript as a first class citizen.

Hard pass

100% agree. People also need to remember that GraphQL was originally written for server side javascript, and now it’s being ported to other languages(for what reason???).

You can create your own global json schema and build a ratchet version of GraphQL using proven orms in about 20 minutes using an unpersisted “filtering” field.

If you want automatic access to your data, bite the bullet and do something cool like implement Apache Dremio.

This comment should be pinned every time this topic hits hacker news. People are out here getting scammed by these hiring managers!

Exactly this. Software development and security are basically the same thing. If you’re not writing secure software, and you don’t understand enough about network layers to secure them, then you have a lot to learn just to get your knowledge up to par with a lot of devs/arch’s/“security people”

I think the best way to think about it is, you have teams where hadoop queries take 5+ hours to run. You port that same data into arrow, now that same query takes 30 seconds.

The difference is that arrow’s mapping behind the scenes enables automatic translation to any implemented “plugin” that is on the user’s implementation of arrow. You can extend arrows format to make it automatically map to whatever you want, basically.

And it’s all stored in memory - so much faster access to complex data relationships than anything that exists to my knowledge.

I worked at a large company a few years ago on a team implementing this. It’s super cool and works great. Definitely where the future is headed

I don’t buy this analysis. The principles of architecting code and system design are timeless. There are definitely people out there who don’t “code really well on command”, but can ask the right questions to design a solid system.

Interesting, although from reading the blog I still don’t know what banner bear does except for taking an audio files and creating video out of it.

Can’t question the isreal alliance either, some things are just off topic.

Amazon, ruining everyone's favorite open source apache projects one at a time.

Next step on path to enlightenment - delete signal and exclusively use wickr

People already have, it’s called wickr

Im working on a very similar idea.

I posted on here saying they were selling order flow months ago and got heavily downvoted

I’d rather it keep some metadata than have a login tied to my actual phone number.

I don’t understand why people use signal over wickr. Signal accounts are tied to an actual phone number, which is a public identifier.

Wickr accounts are tied to nothing. And if you loose your phone you can just login again on any other phone to continue communicating.

Regardless of what you perceive your technical specialty to be, you need to create a "sales pitch" and sell yourself to the job you are applying to.

Similar to waiting tables at a restaurant, 99% of people don't want a list of the ingredients, nor do they want the waiter to say "I like everything on the menu because im a food generalist". Customers want to hear "The burger is great because its cheesy and juicy".

The scope of how you are selling, whether its skills or physical objects, is very important. Calling yourself a generalist is just setting yourself up for failure for a job search. Sell yourself to the role, don't cast a "generalist" net and get upset when nobody thinks you are a correct fit for a role.

My theory is software should be architected with debugability, deployability, and developer friendliness in mind. If you can't deploy your solution on a predictable schedule, with multiple teams working on it in parallel, and keep stakeholders happy, then you are on a fast path to irrelevance no matter how "sophisticated" the architecture is.

Yeah this is what I was thinking. I pity the people who navigate java projects without ctrl+alt+b. What an existence that must be.

Recruiters are not bottom of the barrel. How is this the top voted comment? Where do I even start here!

This is a good summary

“This isn’t something you can do on your own”

I’m gonna have to push back here. Go rent a cabin in the woods and eat some mushrooms and I guarantee you can work thru issues on your own.

As a winter dweller, trust me, sense of humor is not what is missing. The sun and heat is what is missing.

Connected to someone else on video all day? That sounds like my personal hell.

I dont know what all this fuss is about. Intellij is great, no need to use all the extra features. If your application wont run by typing java -jar myjar.jar, you have bigger problems than what type of IDE you're using.

Turns out frontrunning retail trades is profitable, who would have guessed?!

Focus more on the business value of what you are delivering and less on the amount of programming time it takes to get there. These things are not linearly related.

The first part of your comment reads like a talking point a meeting hopping noncoding archetect would use.

Simple repeatable solutions are better and more maintainable than constantly abstracting things to a higher level. I write systems and code with operations and developer ease in mind, not some academic idea of abstraction.

I like the article title and agree, the other points the author make are valid but seem like randomly picked issues.
