Same here, I thought this was great. Even though I have been in the "computer field" for a loong time, there is still so much to learn! I love articles like this.


works very well. I had it on a Samsung Galaxy S7 and sending messages was wonky due to a known issue with that and a few other Samsung Galaxy phones. However it was easy to setup, use, and absolutely love it, well done! KDE continues to impress. As a side note, I just found out Kmail supports oauth2 with o365!


+1 for ProjectM. Excellent, even works great on FreeBSD!


We use swarm for a small cluster in production a well. Extremely easy, zero downtime deployments are fantastic. I can explain it to someone else and quickly get them up to speed. Having said that, the fact that it seems to be on life support has made me look at other alternatives, even a simple docker-compose per node.


I thought it was very helpful. I am sending it out to my manager and others on our team. We have gone through a transition where I work, and a new product owner likes to send us implementation manuals as design docs because that's how they did things many years ago. We have been trying to get them to work in our process, and I am hoping that this article will help reinforce a change in thinking or at least help us to come to an understanding. Thank you for writing it!


Thank you for this. Been a software engineer/Sysadmin for over ten years. It’s always nice to see something like this to remind myself (and others) that using google does not make you any less of a developer.


wow at first I thought it said "Against Parents." I think I need glasses....


I saw "Against Patients", for some reason


Absolutely agree. No need for anything fancy, quick and easy to setup and use.


I have no college degree, or college classes at all, and have been doing systems engineering/software engineering for about 13 years now. All self taught/learning on the job. While it is nice not to have had college loan debt, I know there are things I may have a better grasp on if I spent months learning a particular topic. In fact, I am jealous of people who actually got to spend time being taught computer science and learning interesting things. I am sure there are topics/approaches/patterns that would be very helpful. Not that I am complaining, things certainly have worked out for me very well, it is just something else that I know would "boost" what I already know. On the flip side, I know of one job that was a very short interview, as they said they could only offer X (which was laughably less than what I was making currently) because I had no degree. What I knew meant very little (to the place, not the interviewers), having the piece of paper meant more. You could say "their loss" but on the flip side, I have no idea what opportunities I have missed because of it.


What about homestarrunner? Will somebody think about homestarrunner!?
