multithreading is the feature that python does best: there's a bunch of ways to do it and none of them actually achieve it. can't think of a better embodiment of the python philosophy

I just spawn a bunch of parallel AWS lambda functions it’s like multithreading but better! for Amazon, worse for me this should be a joke but I’ve actually done this before and it’s actually more reliable so :-/

If you want to run a bunch of simple on demand stateless workloads PHP might actually be an okay choice?? hosed up but true

bob dobbs is dead posted:per-customer tenancy, but yeah, basically This is how they used Postgres at my old job, they had thousands of customers and therefore thousands of databases and a custom built mechanism to deploy schema and sorted procedure updates across all of them. It honestly didn’t work too bad except when any one customer got too large they didn’t have any way of mapping the application to multiple databases, so large customers had to decide how to segment their fleet (it was fleet telemetry software) Pretty silly, but the company started in like 2000 and had about 20 years of tech debt so what do you do

drat thats insane to hear a production, presumably profitable, product operated that way. just, gently caress it, we bake the price of the cloud infra into the price to the customer and charge the rest to "tech debt" inspirational really

Programs broken into small, distributed units that simply stop running on any error and can communicate with one another.)

can you make a living moving to switzerland for computers ? I've got some years of xp doing backend cloud poo poo in Paris where I live. Lots of people do the frontier worker gig where they live in France and commute over for work which sounds exhausting.

A friend of mine worked in Switzerland and he said the secret was: the salaries are high but so is the cost of living, so save money and move elsewhere when you have a good nest egg.

Speaking of which, I had one of those recently, amid my third day of power being out here in ohio. It was some leetcode bullshit and my one takeaway is that I gotta get better about watching out for typos But the job was for figgies so I put up with it

Like, so many interviews that you can't remember which companies you interviewed with. Do interviews with every company that invites you, for jobs that you don't want, for jobs you're overqualified for, jobs that don't pay enough, jobs in places you don't want to work at, and of course, jobs at your dream companies.
