The Cart Before the Horse - A DevOps Conundrum

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:55:38 +0000

We’ve all heard the age-old saying: putting the cart before the horse. Unfortunately, in the world of DevOps, this is happening far more often than it should, and it’s time we talk about it.

The crux of the issue is that, too often, the focus isn’t on solving actual problems; it’s on utilizing shiny new technologies. Picture this: A developer stumbles upon a cutting-edge piece of technology. They’re immediately enamored by its features, its capabilities, the way it’s touted as the ’next big thing.’ So, they start finding ways to incorporate it into their work, regardless of whether it’s actually the best fit for the problems at hand.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco#

This phone is a true classic. Known for its elegant stainless steel design and smooth sliding mechanism, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco was a fashion statement as much as it was a cell phone.

Nokia 8600 Luna#

The Nokia 8600 Luna dazzled users with its smoky glass exterior and illuminating keypad. It perfectly blended art with technology and gave us a taste of what a designer phone should look like.

Go Programming Language - What's the Deal?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:32:38 +0000

Google came up with a new programming language called Go, which is supposed to be super fast and awesome and stuff.

But do we really need another language? I mean, come on. It’s hard enough to keep up with the ones we already have.

Go has some cool things going on, like goroutines, channels and interfaces. But it also has some weird things, like no generics, no exceptions and no inheritance. So it’s not for everyone.
