  • Something to consider is a monolith can have different entry points and a focused area of work. Like my web application monolith can also have email workers, and background job processers all with different container specs and scaling but share a code base.

    And coming from a background where I work heavily with Postgres a bunch of smaller segregates databases sound like a nightmare data integerity wise. Although I’m sure it can be done cleanly there are big advantages with having all your tables in one database.


  • Imo if your doing it right your monolith is also broken up into chunks that are segmented with clear defined apis and well tested (apis in this context are whatever your public functions/method/top level objects). With clean internal apis and properly segmented code it should be easy to read and do what you need.

    I don’t know if I agree with the infra level. What makes you say it has advantages there?

    Biggest two advantages to micro services in my mind is you can use different tools / languages for different jobs and making it easier for multiple teams to work in parallel. Two biggest disadvantages in my mind is you lose code sharing and services become more siloded to different teams which can make it more difficult to roll out changes that need multiple services updated.

    There is also the messaging problem with micro services. Message passing through the network rather then in memory. (Ex calling the user_service object vs user_service micro service)

    One other big disadvantage of a monolith I also can think of is build time and developer tools can struggle with them. A lot more files/objects to keep track of and it can often make for an annoying development flow.

    My preference is to monolith most things and only split off something into a micro service if you really get a big benefit from another tool or language for a specific task.






  • When you keep say things like Biden is commiting genocide then you’re completely misusing the term and that makes everyone dismissive of what you’re saying.

    I simply won’t take your opinion seriously on any topic because saying that is just completely ridiculous and using the word in that context is a cheap hack to try and win arguments.





  • Have you programmed with rust a day in your life? Once you introduce one library that requires Tokio async you have to start wrapping all your calls that involve it in async shit.

    So many better concurrency patterns out there.

    And these libraries are not easily avoidable. Ex: most AWS libraries require it.

    And forgive me for a stupid typo, I have had little sleep the last week but you are an asshole that thinks belittling people somehow makes you right so it doesn’t really matter.






  • My point is I’m only a right winger in a small niche bubble which is completely not the reality of things.

    To most of the world I’m a lefty and to actual right wingers they would probably call me a communist (and sure incorrectly but not my point).

    Right winger means maga idiot to most of the ppl in the US not democrat who wants to greatly expand our social programs and nets.


  • I’m just gonna talk about your first paragraph. No they are not right wingers lmao. I fucking hate that you can’t be centrist or democratic socialist without some asshole (not you, you’re just asking) saying you’re a right winger.

    I believe the west has better equality, stability, quality of life, rights, morals, so and and so forth.

    And I think we need to greatly expand our social programs.

    However if I defend the west then suddenly I’m a right winger? Fuck off with that classification shit. I just don’t subscribe to Russia and China somehow being better then the US or the west in any sort of way.

    This is why these social movements never get any movement in the US. They’re too busy self hating and worshipping facists in the East.
