Yeah that's mostly what I'm referring to.

Backups are pretty easy, but service availability and failovers across cloud providers is stupid difficult. Not really from a compute standpoint but mostly from a data consistency/transactional standpoint.

However, if you are using vendor specific services like AWS connect then you have to build and maintain multiple deep integrations into those services which effectively doubles your engineering efforts.

Good news, they have these, and you even get paid to do it!

Not nearly enough mind you.

Multi-cloud is a significant amount of effort to pull off.

Being on one cloud provider across multiple regions is often plenty of redundancy.

Being available across multiple cloud providers is really REALLY difficult

Honestly surprised C# isn't on here? It's still one of the "big 5" languages, and .Net touts it's incredible performance on the regular.

The number of new devs who complain about having to write a unit test is too damn high

  • Or writing integration tests
  • Or passing CI
  • Or following repo conventions
  • Or following standards
  • Or adhering to domain guardrails
  • Or in adding monitoring
  • Or in not logging everything as info
  • Or in actually documenting features
  • Or in receiving critical PR review
  • Or in addition input validation
  • Or in not trusting the client

...etc

Honestly most devs.... Kinda suck at their job. This is becoming more evident to me every year

I work remote (Going on 9 years now) and I miss a sense of community. Do I want to stop working remotely? Hell no, screw that. But two things can be true the same time, I can enjoy and encourage them at work, dnd I can also miss a sense of community.

I think it's okay to hold this opinion because it's individual to everyone.

This just comes across as propaganda

Being dismissive and pulling the rhetoric that this is propaganda is toxic as fuck.

Yeah, and electron already has a secureStorage API that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn't using, and a PR already exists to enable...
