I think they probably like having an GDP 25x larger than North Korea's. Gets a lot harder to export your products around the world when you're squared off against the US.
Not sure about petabytes, but pretty sure Brandon Liu of Protomaps is hosting all the daily protomaps extracts via R2. Not sure what the egress usage is.
Prefect is amazing. Built out an ETL pipeline system with it at last job and would love to get it incorporated in the current one, but unfortunately have a lot of legacy stuff in Airflow. Being able to debug stuff locally was amazing and super clean integration with K8S.
they are great little devices. Has its own tailscale app too and can be used as an exit node! useful for me as the TV is pretty close to the fiber box on the wall.
Love Go (and async python, for different reasons) but miss me with the gRPC unless you are building hardened internal large enterprise systems. We adopted it at a late stage startup for a microservices architecture, and the pain is immense.
So many issues with type duplication due to weird footguns around the generated types. Lots of places where we needed to essentially duplicate a model due to the generated types not allowing us to modify or copy parts of a generated type's value and so forth.
