Typical bitter backend developer spew. Works with Java or C# and hasn't explored much more than OO and procedural. Threatened by anything new, creative or explorative. Stuck in his ways and prefers to do mundane, uncreative and repetetive tasks, like writing boilerplate to get stuff in and out of a database. Soon to be automated away by serverless.

Typical frontend developer spew. Works with JavaScript or Emscripten, hasn't dealt with data integrity, scale, or security challenges. Threatened by people who build things from scratch. Stuck writing handlers, never to see the whole architecture. Soon to be replaced by GPT-3.

Thank you, this has been entertaining.

This is one of the funniest rebuttals on HN.

I was thinking about the exchange, and it dawned on me that GPT-3 has really demonstrated frontend generation capability. I'd absolutely love to see it build my app's data layer from description (don't call it an ORM!) but I don't even know where to start looking for that.

Ooh, permanent lock in to a single company’s bill by the second mainframe! How exciting!

I see this criticism a lot for serverless but I don’t see it in reality. Serverless is still just running code, the only part that wouldn’t be portable is the entrypoint data structure which is amounts to practically nothing.

The devil is in the details. How many little things would need to be changed, refactored, or rewritten to move to another host?

Good luck running serverless code in a lightbulb.

Last time I looked at Azure IoT Hub for anything I was baffled by the way their system used MQTT but didn't provide general-purpose MQTT access. Frankly they're not a great example of a company understanding how these devices are supposed to work.
