The Real 100x Dev

Welcome to MongoDB, where every field of every dataset is basically Schrödingers Datafield. You only truly know if it exists and what type it is, once you observe it.

A real 100x dev makes a 10 hour reaction video from 6 minutes of content.

Whenever I hear the number of engineers at any large company, I do often wonder wtf they all do

Thank you for the feature! Thibault is a legend & Lichess is awesome. Here as some additional information based on what Prime said in this video: 2:42 - For top level Chess players, a simple nudge in a critical position to let them know they should use their time is enough to swing a game in their favour 9:00 - Bare metal may not be a great word here. I was trying to differentiate from the cloud, and to say that they manage everything on the machines (down to the Linux distro) 20:55 - Storage makes up 40-50% of the overall server costs, or about $2000 USD a month. There is a spreadsheet with all costs breakdown linked on the Lichess site (or at 32:11) 21:11 - I think picking a DB can be very scary when starting a project. What I meant here is that as long as your choice has robust and scalable it's not that critical to building a successful product. 25:00 - What I meant by raw Javascript was DOM manipulation 30:34 - Not sure about this one since Thibault still uses Arch on his personal computer 32:50 - It all runs off donations and it is registered as a not-for-profit

A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the requirements document for a new application. The manager asked the master: "How long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers to it?" "It will take one year," said the master promptly. "But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it take if I assign ten programmers to it?" The master programmer frowned. "In that case, it will take two years." "And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?" The master programmer shrugged. "Then the design will never be completed," he said. - The Tao of Programming

for completeness: it was the Omega Star team that still doesn't support ISO timestamps (even though they said they would, like a month ago)

"So youre a scala dev? Enumerate all possibilities."

High IQ wizards exist. 2 wizards out perform an army of Muppets.

Dude's raw dogging transistors out here

i’m upset that he missed the “react is my favourite Meta framework” joke
