Feels like postgres is always the answer. I mean like there's gotta be some edge case somewhere where postgres just can't begin to compete with other more specialized database but I'd think that going from postgres to something else is much easier than the other way around.
Not that this solves it but we could easily cover a whole state in trees. Have you seen Indiana and Illinois. Those states are entirely made out of corn. At this point it isn't an engineering problem it's just an economic one.
I highly recommend Stargate. They actually go to Atlantis. I know most media outlets have to say Atlantis is "just a story", but if you want the real truth. Go to the Canadians.
I'm sorry but some calls are synchronous. Even if all the calls between are async it doesn't matter. It won't make things faster for your service to be async when the process is fundamentally async. In fact if there are any bumps along the way and you have to requeue the request it will take longer.
Users don't live at the edges of your tiny microservice they live at the edges of your whole system.
RTOs generally have nothing to do with any of the things they say. They are just layoffs.
You can't argue with them about the effectiveness of remote work. They aren't trying to optimize work. They are trying to fire people.
Working from home doesn't fire people, being more productive and happy doesn't fire people. Your mental well being doesn't have any bearing on how many people they need to fire.
This is the problem. Right now we're not in the, I need AI to work or get out stage. We're in the AI might completely upend reality stage.
It's just people telling stories to find bigger fools. Like the ads claiming they sell an AI employee that never needs sleep and never talks back.
Those ads are the same thing as those ads shoved in the lawn near the mcdonnalds drive through that look like they were drawn with sharpie, but are really mass printed. "Real estate investor looking for pupil, trade my money" kind of stuff.
They are purposefully looking for suckers that would overlook the sketchyness. They don't want normal people applying, that reduces the pitches effectiveness.
