Why not call it decentralization? Because that sounds like an actual good thing.

Copy files and do a

python3 -m http.server

Very simple and does the job.

Quite an effective way to destroy someone’s reputation and ego.

What a colleague! Haha!

We didn’t have a CEO for half a year… What changed? Nothing…

Then we got a new CEO… His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people…

Thank god for that save

Here is the expendability graph

If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

What if those chains handle thousands of massages per second?

Serious backend is indeed a stretchy term. And I agree with that point b2b java is common. But our b2b backend handles multiple thousands of massages per second. I find the bottleneck to be MySQL and RabbitMQ.

I think it makes sense for a serious backend to have load balancing and nginx cache and horizontal scaling. I reckon QPS doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.

I still don’t think that java would be considered niche. I rather think that C or C++ would be considered niche. It takes longer to develop, and is not memory safe so I don’t think that most backend systems should consider it.

Most developers are not going to create the next kubernetes. For me it is usually down to earth integrations. Take this file from s3, send as email and sftp here. Create API to proxy another API. Take messages from Kafka, put on rabbitMQ. Save messages from rabbitMQ to database.

I think Java is very strong with libraries. Especially with Spring Boot and camel. I don’t really see it as niche but more of a plain boring peanut butter sandwich. Boring. Unexciting. But works.

I am however trying to convince my boss to allow kotlin. Which has access to all the java libraries

I have a colleague like that too, and then the other camp that loves MySQL.

Why do you like postgres

You got lagom. There are so many words we could import into danish, but instead we get all this stupid American stuff like rizz, prompt

Pretty cool that you can say “please” in Danish since the word doesn’t exist in the language.

Backend

Oh I know that feeling. But when you get the hang of it you will never go back

It can be quite overwhelming if nobody knows how to use git.

I know software teams that went back to share code on teams folders after having used git…

Please get a git course for all the developers

This took me a month to make. Moving from docker swarm to kubernetes.
