Very nice start, I've been dreaming about this for a while as an intellij/vscode plugin, will be great to see if anyone can pull it off

Really recommend The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier

I find it's really more a practical guide, less so a "recipe of success" that other self-help tend to be.

Best book I've read on it, really respect the Author after reading it. She is wise and a good follow on Twitter.

I suppose it could be intentional but the actual animations seem off to me. The hammer appears to slow before impact and there is no slight pause when piercing Takoyaki. Again, they're robots which means it might be a stylistic choice to have mechanically fluid motion.

Taken as an entire piece, its very good.

That is not Takoyaki

That makes sense on its own, but doesn’t it mean that there are lots of network requests happening between silos all the time? It doesn’t seem very siloed.

Or is this some lower-level service that “doesn’t count” somehow?

gibb0n · 2 years ago
I think you are right, probably some service like kinesis of kafka that is keeping them in sync. that 'doesn't count'

Seems to be the same collection of services deployed in different AZs with a load balancer? The trick would be how data is replicated across the instances, which I'm guessing is some sort of event publishing or even backup sources of truth? It says that will come in the next article and surely that's the more interesting part than the load balancing...

Also explains to me why new features would take a while to roll out of you are cautiously updating instances/AZs one by one

Side point - has anyone got a better way to refer to a non-technical person than "non-technical"? I see they use that term in the intro and I use it to but seems a bit condescending.

How is that helpful?

Get Bitcoin from crime

Wash into monero?

Pray the tumbler is legit?

Wash back into Bitcoin

Now what? Bitcoins from tumblers are suspect everywhere with kyc requirements.

Sell off books to a Russian oligarch or North Korea I guess?
