Episode 73: “My pants are full of brisket,” Apple updates, & Oracle storms the AWS castle

Listen Later

Apple has put out three new things - the phone, the watch, and the OS - which we discuss. And then Oracle announced it's destroying Amazon, which is fun. We start it all off with a word-salad of the usual nonsense and deodorant talk.

With Brandon Whichard, Matt Ray, and Coté.

            • 5 "truths" (spoiler, maybe not)
              1. It keeps the code cleaner
              2. It's easy to write things that only have one purpose
              3. They're faster than monoliths
              4. It's easy for engineers to not all work in the same codebase
              5. It's the simplest way to handle autoscaling, plus Docker is in here somewhere
              6. This piece by my man Kenny is ball-exploding awesome.
                7. Too Old to Code?
                • Tim Bray is old and codes.
                • "That's fine for you, Marge, but I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. ... Now I'm lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.". – Homer Simpson
