Microservice architecture, they said. It will be fun, they said.

This made me chuckle for a good 10 minutes!

At work we’re currently in the last layer of the iceberg with 35+ microservices, with ten different Kubernetes instances for different uses and a supported OnPrem version.

It is bit of a learning curve and we definitely have two “mono-services” that we’re actively braking down due to it accumulating seven years worth of different ideas and implementations.

I think currently I’m still heavily in favor in microservices in a project of our scale as it easily let’s us enhance, trash, or reimplement different areas of the app; but man is it a pain in the ass to manage sometimes 😂

Every time spez speaks, I want to interact less and less with reddit

As someone who’s been on reddit for almost 12 years, who’s also a developer. It really has saddened me to hear so many I’ll things he’s said to other dev teams.

This is the main reason why I’m trying to go all in with Lemmy, subscribing to different communities, etc.

At this point, if Reddit doesn’t make him step down and all these popular third party apps go under because of the API pricing, i will rarely be visiting reddit in the future.

Why lemmy instead kbin?

Personally using Lemmy as I find the interface, syntax (linking users and communities), and deployment easy to use.

Also I personally want to contribute to Lemmy and learning Rust is a high priority in my personal and work life.

I like this significantly better than Mastodon

For me the decentralized nature of Lemmy / Kbin, (the only two reddit clones i know right now), is what’s really bringing me in.

I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade and seen communities completely close and go private because either a lack of moderation or infestation of bots. With how Lemmy and Kbin are set up, if one group of people don’t agree with another, they can set up shop on a different server.

This really gives users power over communities instead of having to do different naming such as r/animemes vs r/goodanimemes.

### Thanks for avoiding the 'master race' phrase in this magazine ###

I used to be heavily into the ‘pc master race’ craze back in the early 2010s. Especially with how heavily exclusivity was pushed during that era.

Then I missed game collecting on NES, Gamecube, original Xbox, etc. and with the recent better support for cross-play on newer games it’s been earlier to play with friends.

Now my goal is just get back into loving all of gaming, independent of platform.
