Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

The computer on the Apollo 11 only had 32,768 bits of RAM! Pretty impressive.

Fully agree with this one, problem is that I want to skip things, but management doesn't like that I skip security scans that take 15 minutes in our pipeline lol.

Sure thing! Had in mind more code generators (Figma to [Name it]) VS what I am building.

There are things that cannot be skipped, but I find it interesting that the way we implement UIs (the process) did not change at all in 30+ years from when the CERN website was launched in 1991.

That's why I watch the whole tutorial first. Then, on the second time through, I follow along by writing the code.

Same happened to me in paid trainings, too. I had the chance to speak to the tutor's coworker who told me they had decided to leave the errors on purpose for authenticity and engagement, but I suspect they were just too lazy to rerecord the video or a add a text comment.

I say “Eleven eleven”. Most properly, it would be One thousand, one hundred and eleven.

I am not sure why argue on this, it's just 0100 0101 0111. What's so hard about this? I mean, it did took me a moment to convert, but hey, it's better then looking dumb is to standup... get it? It's a thing here in India, for some reason every b tech dude does standup.

On a project right now that's about 3 years in and so far we've dumped over 200 legacy apps and systems in favour of just 25!

Banking, I assume? Only they have such amounts of legacy to fix and such amounts of money to spend 😅

I work in banking, we are migrating 4 projects into one, because the older 3 are not written for scalability a.k.a. monoliths.

I tested our Java 21 API with virtual threads with 6 pods on our cluster and reached 2000 requests per second.

But to be fair the older API's where also using the wrong technologies to scale. They still use old messaging busses which break often and cause incidents all of the place.

Honest story. 15 years ago we had a guy leave the company, took support desk about 2 months to get to cleaning up his desk. They switched off the box they found under his desk and we had a 3 hour P1 situation within 15 minutes! Ha ha!!
Turns out a major live system feed was running through his beat up old desktop, they simply moved it to the computer room. 2 years later they finally switched off that old desktop when the last user that needed the feed finally left the company! ha ha!!

A lot of we very old timers were there when that was brand new, state of the art and was replacing previous systems as our 5th gen system!
Prior to that we had Win31, prior to that we had DOS, prior to that we had home 8bit micros, prior to that we had access to mainframe time shares!!

Yeah, moving from my Commodore 64 (with tape drive only) to a floppy-based Atari ST felt like a huge leap forward... then I moved from a 512kb model to the maxed out 4mb model. And then to a Windows 98 machine with a Pentium II, ridiculous 32 MB of RAM and Soundblaster Live audio card. That all happened pretty quickly, by today's standards at least.

To whom has this ever happened?
Your perfect code doesn't work, you duplicate the file delete the original and rename the duplicate. Your code works perfectly.
