As a counter-point, I think it is good to also consider that even the wrong people asking the right questions is better than no one asking them. I think discouraging fledgling developers from asking these questions is a short-sighted choice. I believe a better choice is to have an environment where they can be guided to the right answers, even if they are "too big for their britches".

If I had the power, I would. Right now, my employer has business blinders on.

I've been doing some Salesforce dev for a company for about 6 months and as far as I know, this is really still the case. There are ways to do a type of reference that mimics foreign keys and sql joins, but it is terribly convoluted and therefore confusing.

I am in the process of dealing with that myself. In my case, the leadership of our company was convinced by a consulting firm that Salesforce is capable of anything, including acting as IaaS for a huge SaaS application we are building. The result being that we have to make very expensive work arounds for API call limits.

The hard part about this is that it might function eventually, so "there is no reason to switch until we KNOW for sure". Salesforce can do a lot, but it can NOT do IaaS. Use AWS, GCP, or literally anything else if you want a 100% customizable autoscaling application with in depth monitoring.

EDIT: Pardon my cry for help, but if anyone has any business targeted material to present these ideas to company presidents who don't have a clue in the world, I implore you to point me to it.

I had to look it up too, it's the German word for Quasar.

So the JVM?

I am really confused by this website.

1. The tagline on this website is "Guiding Developers since 1869". Is that a joke?

2. If he is so against micro services, why does he promote three of his own pocket guides on how to do them?

Is there something I am missing?

Another important question to ask. How far of a drive was his home? I could see an employer doing this if they had told them they would pay for a ticket if the drive was over X hours away, then discovered that they lied about it. I supposed this falls under fraud as well.

Functionally, this may be different but I am struggling to see how conceptually this makes any difference in the development process.

I've not heard of Purism before. Have you ever owned any of their products and how was your experience?

He and James Lewis had this to say about it. https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/microservices-nut... I believe James' talk at the end of the article says he wishes it was called something else because of the implication of size.

Do you think something like this is feasible for a home media server? I suspect things like video streaming from this would be slow, am I wrong?

Or even some kind of "Always online" MMO like chronicles of elyria. Being able to just tell your character to play while you are away without 'scripting' them would be nice.
