Curation
i will fucking haymaker you if you mention agile again
radical simplicity
preventing the collapse of civilization
the failed commodification of technical work
stop future proofing software
why can't we make simple software
people come for the features but stay for the details
imaginary problems are the root of bad software
the thirty million line problem
the only unbreakable law
programming culture is broken
an idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity
solve problems as they come
grug brain dev
microservices - please, don’t
monoliths, migrations, and microservices
monolith first
the magestic monolith
gitlab modular monolith
optimize for developer productivity
i'm going to scale my foot up your ass
they're rebuilding the death star of complexity
devops is bullshit
computers are fast
latency numbers every programmer should know
your computer is faster than you think
one big server
consider sqlite
scaling sqlite to 4m qps
$2.2M/year single server
stackexchange has 9 web servers
hackernews runs on two machines
cheap infra
preemptive oop is wrong
get oop out of your brain
oop is not the only way to program
more thoughts on spas
the web is a harsh manager
static typing
use a rdbms
consider sqlite
inventing on principle
scaling yourself
being glue
small teams
