  • Yeah, I was hoping to connect the dots for people who are starting to think about these things. I often see people struggling with the idea that people can be happy in a society they themselves might not be happy in. It’s really easy to forget that our own values are not some universal standard, and doubly so for people who have no other point of reference aside from the society they grew up in.

    And I had a similar experience as well, like you read these things and just nod along because you’ve basically worked through the problem yourself and arrived at the same place. In a way it does feel good to see your own thinking validated though. :)







  • Yeah, not gonna miss app servers. I do find the JVM was kind of made for a different era though. It’s basically designed to act like a VM on top of which all your apps run. So, startup time isn’t really a problem, and it wants to grab as much memory as it can by default. But nowadays everybody just makes small self contained apps that you can scale horizontally, so this whole model the JVM is tailored for isn’t really used outside big enterprise. And Jenkins was alight, I used to use it back in the day too. For the most part, I do find GitHub actions are an improvement though. You just make a script and magic happens.
