You have written this as if this doesn't routinely happen to every auto manufacturer. Why?

Been like that for decades. Only recently can you buy quality ice cream in supermarkets.

New comment by ivix in "We migrated our PostgreSQL database with 11 seconds downtime"

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Why on earth would government not be migrating to the cloud?

ivix — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:23:55 +0000

It's not an government agency. The post office is a completely private company.

They are right. Mercurial is better than git for 99% of usecases. But we lost this one.

New comment by ivix in "I'm skeptical of low-code"

ivix — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 17:50:33 +0000

The opinions of developers about low code solutions are not very relevant.

Low/no code solutions exist for when there isn't enough time or budget for a developer created solution, which is to say, pretty much all always. In the real world of business problems, almost nobody has access to a professional developer.

Think about how lightning exists, and you'll see why this is not an issue.

New comment by ivix in "You are never taught how to build quality software"

ivix — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 00:46:10 +0000

I suspect as with most things in education, they focus on small self contained problems because it's easier to teach and easier to grade. These toy problems end up being all students know and therefore are what employers select on.

Land cables are usually considered classified/sensitive information, so no not generally.

Cooling the stations is not an engineering challenge. It's a budget challenge. Installing and operating huge chillers is a solved problem.

New comment by ivix in "Germans shrug off economic gloom at booming Oktoberfest"

ivix — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 16:50:08 +0000

Why on earth would you live your life by a sub single digit percentage swing in an abstrusely calculated macroeconomic statistic?

New comment by ivix in "Teen arrested in England after felling ancient tree"

ivix — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 09:27:19 +0000

It's not the reverse. Nobody in the UK was calling this tree ancient.

They gave them the propaganda number.

If it's a detail to them, they might be looking at a bigger picture than you are.

Totally untrue. i know this for a fact.

ivix — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 10:19:11 +0000

Concluding that the planning in London is poor because you can't find manufacturing space is certainly...an opinion.

I think this is the correct answer.

To fix technical debt you often need a sexy sounding cover story.

New comment by ivix in "Cloud Native Software Engineering"

ivix — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 13:39:50 +0000

I'm a little confused by this comment. It feels like you are complaining about the problems that are solved by configuration management and infrastructure as code, yet you seem to reject it as too complicated.

All the problems you raise are solved by infrastructure as code.
