This is quite intriguing. But DHH has left so many details out (at least in that post) as pointed out by @breadsmasher@lemmy.world - it makes it difficult to relate to.

On the other hand, like DHH said, one’s mileage may vary: it’s, in many ways, a case-by-case analysis that companies should do.

I know many businesses shrink the OPs team and hire less experienced OPs people to save $$$. But just to forward those saved $$$ to cloud providers. I can only assume DDH’s team is comprised of a bunch of experienced well-payed OPs people who can pull such feats off.

Nonetheless, looking forward to, hopefully, a follow up post that lays out some more details. Pray share if you come across it 🙏

Good point! I just replaced my LI profile photo w/ an abstract image 🍻

Tell me something I don’t know already 😂 The challenge is helping non-techies understand why they should wean themselves off of FB 🤷‍♂️

“Do you not know my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?” 🤷‍♂️

RE text: Agreed. I have started a humble campaign (read "one man army 😁) to try to address this insane trend. Joining forces is sincerely apperciated!

😂

Well said 👏

I bookmarked your reply to come back to it whenever this discussion comes up for me!

😕

I don’t think you’re supposed to post business ads in this community (and most others); hence the downvotes.

Perhaps a line in the community description could help w/ this in the future?

Not a direct answer to your question but here’s what I’ve learned and am learning:

It all boils down to “finding the right balance between the costs of implementation, the value the implementation offers given the circumstances and constraint.” Essentially, the foundational guideline of engineering across all engineering principles.

Usually every decision brings about about a series of advantages/improvement but it’s important to remember that “one must lose in order to gain.”[1] That is, every improvement (value) comes at a price (cost). Unlike other principles of engineering (which are closer to bare maths), software engineering more closely resembles something intuition-based like art. That is what makes it difficult to see the values and costs and measure them. It takes lots of practice and introspective and extrospective (!) effort; doing things and potentially making mistakes and learning from them is as important as observing others do things and make mistakes.

In other words, it boils down to honing your intuition to “do the right thing, at the right time, the right way.”

PS: Please note that I used the word “right” and not “correct.”

[1] Dialectically speaking, every material good contains w/i itself its own seeds of destruction 😆

I’m already liking it - I’ve switced to it as my main keyboard. I’m actually typing this on my phone (miserably slowly 😂 - it definitely needs practice getting used to.) I think it’s a good practice for the memory muscles & the brain! Thanks.

I installed it. Definitely very different! I’ll give it a fair shot though - looks like there’s been plenty of thought behind its design.

Does it collect/transmit the keystrokes to their server?

I think you may be right. I’ll look into it and report back here.

Did anyone actually take action?

I’m not sure how to, or if I’m supposed to, since I’m based in Canada.
