He was also warning against the followers, myths, institutions, and power structures that turn a talented person into an untouchable savior. Sounds familiar?
Sounds like Warhammer 40K where the God-Emperor was like "I am not the Messiah!" and everyone's like "He IS the Messiah!" but then perhaps his intent was to be worshiped as a god all along. 4d chess etc.
I start to think the SQLite is all i need to store data. When there is a chance of non-coordinated writes that I can distribute among servers (or even a range based ID) SQLite is my first idea. With durable storage backups this works amazingly well.
I only migrated projects from React to something more sensible. I am not sure why people like it. Maybe it is good for bigger teams. Astro with OpenProps is what is super simple, fast to develop and maps naturally to the business functionality I work on most of the time.
I have no idea why people go for these super heavy frameworks. Maybe there are some aspects I am not considering that justifies React.
AWS lost its way. S3, SQS, EC2 and VPC were great innovations and those services were done by a bunch of engineers who wanted to have a reliable elastically scalable system. This was coincidentally cost effective at the same time. What came after especially the data stack and now the AI services were done by a MBA heavy management team who does not understand innovation and treats engineering like a bank does: putting it in the cost category. Recent financial results show the impact: Google grew almost twice as much as AWS did. Maybe it is just coincidence.
