I actually think that the design of gRPC must have been a great deal of effort. The project proposes an scalable solution with simple enough interfaces that smaller teams have been able to adopt quickly. I admire that very much!

I wonder if this impacts the plan of releasing Disque as a plugin in Redis 4.2. I always thought that Disque could have a great impact in the field of job queues.

Re:Ask HN: Does Microsoft hire mediocre developers?

Kubernetes was written in Go. Microsoft seems to be actually pretty open about language choices. Some examples: their first version of the Azure CLI used Node, they started using Python in their 2.0 version. The new ACI k8s connector uses TypeScript (VSCode too)!
Ask HN: Does Microsoft hire mediocre developers?
I've heard that Microsoft is hiring Go developers. I personally find working for Microsoft very interesting (Azure in particular) and I can write Go but I'm far from being an expert. I'm still learning, every day (I guess this applies to everyone else). I'm highly motivated and I am a fast learner but I don't think I can be compared to engineers like Aaron Schlesinger, Brian Ketelsen, Ashley...

I use Concourse every day and I don't know yet what BOSH is and I hope I'll never have to. The installation was pretty standard. I followed a tutorial written by Justin Ellingwood, a great technical writer working for DigitalOcean -

9 - I love it, it's my passion. Programmer by day, programmer by night. Not a 10 because I struggle trying to enjoy life in alternative ways. Not that I haven't found other ways to enjoy life but it's harder to me to get out and make friends out of nothing vs staying in front of the computer.

Maybe you wouldn't had that issue if you were, say, a hockey player. Like your body is not prepared to be sitting in front of a screen ten hours a day or a whole shift poring coffee. I've been learning to get over that brain draining feeling by exercising and not just a running session at the end of the day (which really helps) but shorter intervals in the middle of the day. E.g., I had great success exercising every 5 minutes in my pomodoro technique breaks - huge difference. Not sure if that applies to everyone though.
Socializing is also really helpful for me, but it's hard to make quality friends - I am an immigrant which doesn't help at all.

> Also, when you have a mostly physical demanding job, you can easily socialize with your friends afterwards, with dev work you're brain dead by the end of the day.
This! I tend to think the same way. I can drain my brain so much that by 5pm I'll be a ghost. I've found helpful to divide my tasks into smaller composable units and if I can't reach that point then I try to think that I'm doing something wrong and I'll poke someone else in the team looking for some help. It's hard when you don't have anyone you can talk to.
My biggest challenge is stop thinking about work. It's not always like that but when it gets rainy and dark and there is something interesting going on at work I can get 100% absorbed. Not healthy at all but it's hard to overcome it. I'll wake up in the middle of the night thinking about something I'm working on. It's kind of scary but I also enjoy it. Do you feel like that at all?
