There's a reason Where 2 -> Google Maps happened in Sydney. The sheer number of one-way roads combined with the imposition of the harbour and the messy tunnel system make internalising Sydney navigation a life-long endeavour
Not op, but in my case a lifetime of colourblindness has desensitised me to colour as an indicator.
I have my editor configured with zero highlighting for keywords and syntactic elements. Admittedly, I have compilation/lint/syntax/type check errors set to invert the erroneous block, black background white text.
Syntax and keyword highlighting is just noise given I’ve been trained by decades of colourblind unfriendly interfaces
You could do the maths on conversion rate increase if that latency disappeared vs the cost of spinning up a dc & running it (including the mess that is localised dbs)
I’m not sure the economics works out for most businesses (I say this as an Australian)
8 yoe, ex-hyperscaler backend engineer with a focus on cloud developer tooling, PaaS implementation and distributed system modelling/simulation R&D. I have too much experience planning and executing complex zero downtime migrations, and the ops chops that come along for the ride.
Ideally looking for a position working in Rust, Clojure or Elixir (har har the HN trifecta) on PaaS infrastructure or developer tooling, but open to anything vaguely web backend.
Please do not contact me for blockchain positions.
Some acquisitions at FAANG I’m at have carve outs with legal and finance for docker desktop. Originally internal projects are all on internal tooling for compliance reasons
Résumé/CV: Available on request. I've been working on a generalised distributed system modelling tool. (Supports multiple middlewares, generates native C++, etc...)
