I weep for humanity.

Didn't see today's DHH rant about talk therapy?

Doesn't Ruby, like Python, have a GIL? I always found that one is enough to encourage some "premature scalable architecture"

Culture around a language influences what choices are made.

I briefly worked at a YC company that was a ruby shop. Their answer to every performance problem was to stick it on a queue. There were, I don’t know, dozens of them. Then they decided they needed to be multi-region, because reasons. But the queues weren’t set up to be multi-region, so they built an entirely new service that’s job was to decide which queue in which region jobs needed to go on. So now you had jobs crisscrossing datacenters and tracking any issue became literally impossible. Massively turned me off to both that company and ruby in general.

Look, you can insist that a 1440p monitor can only show blurry text all you like, but the problem that people are talking about is that the text is even blurrier than that.

I am amazed people consider 1440p low resolution. My knee-jerk reaction was to assume you were sarcastic. I use a monitor of roughly that many lines of pixels and have never had observed blurry text in the tools I use (and I use fairly small fonts).

We're hosted on HN darling, Fly.io. Multi region instances come with a anycast IP

Maybe a comparison to AWS Global Accelerator would be helpful to understand the "global" aspect. Having instances in multiple regions is just a starting point.
