Sounds like hell. I am not a robot. And how am I going to do it. Take an hour before work to plan 48 10 Minute sessions for the day. What if something important comes up? Or take a 1 minute block every 10 minutes to figure out what to do for the next session? God forbid I have to take a call, take a p*ss, or my noodle pot boils over while I wfh.

ah yes. Because there is a direct and clear road ahead from requirement to implementation. Requirements don't change and if they do it doesn't have any impact on existing parts of the software. /s

The thing that was most disturbing was just how quickly the water rose. The Ahr, typically 10-15 ft wide and maybe about a feet deep, just enough to cool a beer crate during hot summer, went up to something like 23ft. I was joking with my mum on the phone late afternoon when they told me our camper got towed uphill as a precautionary measure.

hadoop, kafka, storm, spark, flink, samza, confluent This tastes an aweful lot like javascript framework hell

NFS Most Wanted was absolute kino. One of the very few games I played through.

The salary discussion aside. That's what I have always been ad odds with OSS. Nobody is forcing you to put it up for free. Put a price tag on it an sell it. If it doesn't sell, lower the price. If it still doesn't sell, good. Stop trying to force adoption on software that cannot sustain itself.

could you elaborate? I would have guessed that especially in finance hiring in major cities is just a matter of compensation.

I think it has more to do with the fact that you'd otherwise starve to death. There was no wholefoods to trade food stamps in. Also preindustrial probably any man hour had to be useful.

spark, storm, flink, beam, hazelcast... and then there are all the vendor locked choices confluent, kinesis, azure probably has something in that space to

The whole cloud computing space got me confused. I don't know what horse to bet on and don't have the time to get familiar with every new framework. Is this the new javascript world? If so I'd like to skip the next couple of years until we found our react equivalent.

edit: Not to be read as an invitation to discuss how react is not the de-facto standard of ui web frameworks

because it's what you need to get a food in the door.
