Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

I like to call myself a codemonkey

The sites shouldn’t have to maintain that but browsers should?

Also, some browsers are open source.

There’s so many problems with this idea that I don’t know where to start. But, I do see where you’re coming from.

“you’re really good at this and enjoy it so let’s get you into middle management where you won’t do it anymore and will hate your life”

Yep.

Pretty much every American I’ve ever met. Dates on drivers license, bank info, etc - all in MM/DD/YYYY … or even just MM/DD/YY

I regularly confuse people with YYYY-MM-DD

“There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default”

I had to check and make sure I didn’t type the comment above because it sounds exactly like me.

All UIs do things slightly differently, the CLI is always exactly the same… Everywhere. UI for non trivial conflict resolution? Definitely. For everything else, CLI.

And, I’m also reticent to use rebase unless I have to. Gimme that good ole FF :)

I have chickens and have seen this meme before, but it’s been years and I think I threw out my back laughing at it again.

Thanks bud.

I once had a task stripping a ODM out of a large project, reverting to the native driver, because of its (extremely) poor performance. Also the fun of profiling the project to prove the ODM was to blame. I also empathize with the “supposed to make things simpler, makes them more complicated instead” point you make.

From many experiences, I hate ORM/ODMs and am immediately suspicious of anyone who likes them.

This is a great answer. Bumping it as someone who got forced to move into Node/JS around 8 years ago and came to love it (after the ES2015 changes :). It’s primarily what I work in and I teach community classes on it these days.

I’ve been dabbling in Go lately for lower level server side stuff and, while I don’t dislike it, it’s a big shift in thinking. There are a lot of niceties to the Go ecosystem.
