I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware.
Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.
This is me as well. I can remember code snippets down to line numbers. I can remember what, who and why decisions where made (from jobs I last worked at 5+ years ago). I can remember, almost to the exact wording what people said when having discussion/arguments but I have trouble remembering the names of people I've met multiple times, I forget basic facts about my childhood or general knowledge and I forget to follow up with people after meetings etc.
I've always thought of it as having a good `situational memory`, it's interesting you say the same.
I'm lucky I'm a dev, I'd be useless at anything else!
When the team consists of one person with a monkey as their profile picture and no other details other than he's rich, another is a 20year old 10x dev who's been creating smart contracts "for years", one's the cool looking marketing genius who posts on twitter a 1000 times per hour and the rest is made up of stock imagery of middle age white men who are the "advisory board"
Also to think that an engineer who’s intentionally joined a company to work on AI self driving tech wouldn’t immediately quit when they where forced to move and work on Twitter content moderation is laughable. They’d find another job faster than Musk changes moods.
I think there's a combination of both. I'm interested by the concept of the blockchain but I'm also apprehensive of the companies/projects that are created on it (for a lot of the reasons outlined in the original post).
However offering £150K + sign on bonus is enough for a lot of people (maybe even me) to overlook these issues and jump in for short term gain and the possibility of massive long term gains.
If they paid the same as a traditional startup the equation would be different and I think you would see less people making the switch.
And you basically have all the downsides of being full time in office. Have to live within commuting distance, have to buy the train/bus season tickets (or have a working car and fuel it), have to schedule deliveries/family time/exercise around your in office days etc.
Things like mobile/webisite analytics events. User A clicked this menu item, User B viewed this images etc All streamed into S3 in chunks of smallish files.
It's cheaper to store them in S3 over a DB and use tools like Athena or Redshift spectrum to query.
Just took a look at ENS, within 5 mins I was able to find <pupular_first_name>.eth's first and last name, who they work for, their LinkedIN profile, their ETH address, how much they have in crypto holdings, what NFT's they buy/sell and full tx history... Who wants that?
Doubt they care too much about bad words in commit messages, what they should worry about is if they've ever checked in passwords/secrets/private keys and not re-written the git history
On the other hand, it would be nice to know the core languages in play. I have no interest in working in Java anymore, I avoid job listings for companies that would expect me to write Java. I don't want to have to go through recruiter screens etc before I can ask someone who will know what language I would be spending the next year of my life working with
It's unfortunate though that medical professionals have a deep misstrust/hatred for new technology due to bad experiences from poorly run it contracting.
My mum worked for the NHS and I'd regularly hear her complaining for weeks/months on end about new IT systems that either didn't work, were hard to use or were months or even years behind schedule. All while knowing how much these projects cost (it's all public info here) and that the people working on it where getting paid in a day what she would be lucky to make in a week.
