I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware.
Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.
This is me as well. I can remember code snippets down to line numbers. I can remember what, who and why decisions where made (from jobs I last worked at 5+ years ago). I can remember, almost to the exact wording what people said when having discussion/arguments but I have trouble remembering the names of people I've met multiple times, I forget basic facts about my childhood or general knowledge and I forget to follow up with people after meetings etc.
I've always thought of it as having a good `situational memory`, it's interesting you say the same.
I'm lucky I'm a dev, I'd be useless at anything else!
When the team consists of one person with a monkey as their profile picture and no other details other than he's rich, another is a 20year old 10x dev who's been creating smart contracts "for years", one's the cool looking marketing genius who posts on twitter a 1000 times per hour and the rest is made up of stock imagery of middle age white men who are the "advisory board"
Also to think that an engineer who’s intentionally joined a company to work on AI self driving tech wouldn’t immediately quit when they where forced to move and work on Twitter content moderation is laughable. They’d find another job faster than Musk changes moods.
I think there's a combination of both. I'm interested by the concept of the blockchain but I'm also apprehensive of the companies/projects that are created on it (for a lot of the reasons outlined in the original post).
However offering £150K + sign on bonus is enough for a lot of people (maybe even me) to overlook these issues and jump in for short term gain and the possibility of massive long term gains.
If they paid the same as a traditional startup the equation would be different and I think you would see less people making the switch.
And you basically have all the downsides of being full time in office. Have to live within commuting distance, have to buy the train/bus season tickets (or have a working car and fuel it), have to schedule deliveries/family time/exercise around your in office days etc.
Things like mobile/webisite analytics events. User A clicked this menu item, User B viewed this images etc All streamed into S3 in chunks of smallish files.
It's cheaper to store them in S3 over a DB and use tools like Athena or Redshift spectrum to query.
