Google has a huge quality problem and their service is extremely unreliable. Another 3-day-outage in kubernetes:

login issues:

storage system outage:

...

So, basically Google created the most unreliable cloud system in the world.

Socialist countries are responsible for this. Smart people work a lot, have no children and pay HUGE taxes, but dump people stay at home and make a lot of children + receive money from Government. Recipe for disaster.

Every socialist Country will fail earlier or later, just like USSR did.

5 months ago there was an outage in GKE for 3 days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18428497

It doesn't look like a good service to me at all.

Bad news! Prions are extremely stable and not even boiling, Protease or high radiation can disrupt them.
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in this article is wrong. I just opened a typescript project in VSCode, created unused function and a class method and I immediately get warning that they are unused. So the author can't even check the facts before writing an article...
Very biased article and by the way, tslint will also warns you if you don't use promise:

Unless you have at least 20 developers for Frontend alone, don't even bother with SPA applications. I assure that the result will be much worse than a regular web app with server side rendering and some AJAX. The only good SPA applications I've seen were developed by huge companies like Microsoft or Google and smaller companies don't have the resources for that.

Artificial AI-driven-wife (for example "Geminoid F") with artificial womb would solve the problem.

C# is great. It's a high level programming language and it's also super-fast handling ~7.000.000 requests per second on a single server according to the following benchmark:

Another option to consider is Blazor:

I didn't try it yet, but it looks very promising and I hope I will be able to use C# or F# for client side programming, because it's hard to master a new JS framework every 3 months or so and I already have JS fatigue.

This law was strongly pushed by the "Axel Springer" company. This company is so evil that there are even browser extensions to just block their websites (see Axel Springer Blocker in chrome extension store)
I STRONGLY encourage everyone not to come to Germany, especially if you are an entrepreneur or a developer. Horrific laws like GDPR, Hackerparagraf, Upload Filter etc. are passed every week. Even the north Korea is more business and IT friendly than Germany.

My personal list of overhyped technologies:

- TDD

- Microservices

- Single-Page-Applications

- Node.JS

They tends to be used even if there are better options in specific cases.
