Maybe humans will no longer be responsible for maintaining software
I’m probably in the minority here, but I prefer open offices. I prefer open spaces in general and try to work outdoors as often as possible when the weather permits. So to me, an open office is the ideal work…
What’s the difference?

Sweeping generalizations and thinly veiled racism is ok on HN?

Throughput limitations. This won’t (at least in current iterations) scale well.

As an aside, education does not scale with the ever increasing number of ways that personal information can “get online”. Additionally, it assumes some degree of privilege as more and more of everyday life moves online.…
Personally, (I can’t speak for everyone, or even most), I find enormous value in breadth of knowledge. For example, purposefully using different programming languages and/or different paradigms actually gives me a…
TL;DR don't rely on humans to "do the right thing", even if they're supposed to know what they're doing (i.e. ops people). As part of a team (and an organization) that practices "devops" heavily, all of our devs do ops.…
This seems like it fits the narrative. Still, WTF? A quick google tells me that PostgreSQL supports SSL cert-based authN. The prod environment (and possibly an Ops host) should be the only ones with the right certs to…
