  • Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

  • Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

    Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

  • I am more alienated by the processes surrounding everything. If I had to do idiotic agile sprint bullshit and also write mind-numbingly boring code I would lose my mind. Luckily I have gotten away with making improvements in architecture so it is at least an interesting problem on occasion.

    It sounds like this author would feel better working on open source, a passion project, or a deep academic paper. I think I’d prefer that also. I wish it were easier to live while doing that.

  • I’d love this. Medium is such an irritating enshittification of the web. It used to be just a nice and crisp content host, so of course the nanosecond they have inertia with users they start walling shit off. I usually bounce if I get linked to it.

  • “but Google does!!!”

    Meta, but yeah. It’s built for a company that is trying to continue ads and addictive behavior even on the millions of aging devices that have software versions from years ago. Large portions of it do not make sense for more typical companies.

  • GraphQL is so stupid about collections of objects. If you want uniform pagination for different types of objects you have to write separate types for each.

    I don’t like how it composes things together. Kindof awkward when the subportions of the query need variables. Nested objects are great to form the query to just what one needs but then extra steps to decompose into what you’ll actually have client-side.
