Among the platforms innovating on this: @begin, @vercel, @netlify, @PulumiCorp, @goserverless, @WaspLang! There's a tangible movement building. https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1432864045133008899/photo/1 | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 278] | 1432864042343813120 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | en | |||||||

The DevOps movement is not so much "Devs doing Ops" as it is Ops doing Dev. As platforms develop, we are learning the chores that can be cleanly delegated. https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1432864036241088513/photo/1 | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 277] | 1432864032235540480 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | en | |||||||
1432864042343813120 | 33521530 | 2021-09-01T00:33:03+00:00 | Cutting edge AWS stack for JS dev today: - App code in TypeScript - AWS CDK in TypeScript - 0.4-3 MB of SDK code serverside - (optional) 0.2-1 MB SDK code clientside - a dozen lines of config to make it work This is *good* - gives lots of control! Control that I may not need. | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 279] | 1432864040624091138 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 0 | en | ||||||||
1432864050895994890 | 33521530 | 2021-09-01T00:33:05+00:00 | I previously wrote about Cloud Distros, my term for the "second layer" of clouds forming atop the Big Three: https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1252699745883062272 Self Provisioning Runtimes are one step further into the breach - instead of YAML config and SDK code, these platforms *read the app code*. | 1252699745883062272 | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 273] | 1432864048677154818 | 33521530 | swyx | 1 | 1 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | en | ||||||
1432864032235540480 | 33521530 | 2021-09-01T00:33:01+00:00 | One of Java's advantages over C++ is automatic garbage collection, whereas one of Go's advantages over Java is its native CSP model. At a 50,000 ft view you can see languages as advancing by the number of hard problems that are elegantly solved by convention or language feature. https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1432864032235540480/photo/1 | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 279] | 1432864028842356736 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 4 | 17 | 0 | 0 | 0 | en | |||||||
1432977957388120064 | 33521530 | 2021-09-01T08:05:43+00:00 | Sometimes it can be super frustrating when the machine just refuses to do what you want despite trying everything. But eventually you see that you just didn't understand the machine well enough. Humans made that machine, and there's always something you can do to take it apart. | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 279] | 1432977956259778565 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 5 | 68 | 0 | 0 | en | ||||||||

Seek out your dev community for help, and remember how this feels when its your turn to see newer devs struggling. | 95f3aaaddaa45937ac94765e0ddb68ba2be92d20 | 0 | [0, 267] | 1432977957388120064 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 0 | en | ||||||||

1432864040624091138 | 33521530 | 2021-09-01T00:33:03+00:00 | To paraphrase: DX advances by extending the number of important problems our code handles without thinking of them. If we can isolate these chores, we can design them into the language, or build it into the platform. The holy grail: Language-AS-platform, Infra-FROM-code. https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1432864040624091138/photo/1 | 1f89d6a41b1505a3071169f8d0d028ba9ad6f952 | 0 | [0, 274] | 1432864036241088513 | 33521530 | swyx | 0 | 1 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | en | |||||||
