I use bunch of PHP files for personal/work stuff. Because the setup is very easy: just install nginx and enable php+fastcgi extension. Then just edit the files, no restart is needed. Also I don't need frontend and backend. Just echo html in php file :)
Hey Thomas, thank you for detailed explanation! This sounds very interesting. I really wanted to learn something less complex than Rust/Haskell and fast enough for high performance computing and also reliable language. I should learn some OCaml :)
I'm not deeply familiar with reliability-focused languages, but as far as I know, Ada, Rust, and Haskell are the most prominent ones. What made OCaml a better choice here over those alternatives?
The sad part is that no one forces you to work that hard. You're free to say NO! and work less, even this will results being laid off. Only during 1:1s your manager may highlight that deadline is soon and would be great if the project would be delivered on time, and little hint about a promo. But you set goals and force yourself to do more, single night this less sleep doesn't hurt anyone. Then there are more such nights of coding and you feel barely alive. 90% work is done, only very little left to finish. And then bam!

I didn’t mean that this is ok, I’m for workers rights.
Exactly! If you don't try to keep it simple, especially in bigtech, things get way too complex. I think choosing simplest solution in bigtech is in orders of magnitude more important than in a simple domains.
So many people are obsessed with Web application size. But there are other important factors as well. First of all, the UI must be functional even it's slow and heavy. If it does the job then it's already a win. I don't actually care how long I'll wait while I'm downloading the JS bundles. I've been waiting 5-10 mins GTA to load back in 2008, waiting seconds is totally ok.
While Google advises to use abstractions, I like the left-hand side variant. It looks to me easier to understand and change. The right hand side is scattered and abstractions mutate the object, which may have side effects.
so is it just silly numbers or important ?
